If the Republican Party would take the Pro-Life vs. Pro-Choice question out of the party platform, GW Bush would have won by an enormous margin.
The majority of people I know who vote DemoRat do so because they are Pro-Choice.
Yes, I know what you are going to say - but that's the truth as well.
PS... wouldn't it be nice if
A) People (both Male and Female) took responsibility for birth control?
B) everyone valued life enough that there was no need for abortions?

So? Then we would be the party that fails to stand up for the rights of the unborn. That would be far worse than winning the election by a greater margin.

Yes. So what's your point? It would be "nice" if we everyone was so nice that we didn't need laws against rape, murder, child-molesting, kidnapping, etc. That's not the real world.

One more thing: the failure to value life does not create a "need" for abortion. Wants are not needs.

Go back to the feminist movement. One of their purported aims was court-help in child-support. Instead of holding MEN to higher standards sexually (like forcing part of the responsibility for the production of a child on the male--DNA makes false claims of fatherhood impossible), feminists delightedly sank to the accountability-free sex men "enjoyed." This jump to equality could not have been accomplished without the otherwise unthinkable legalization of abortion--at any time (because, after all, neither love nor child-support payment lasts forever.
It's a sobering thought to look around and know that every other person believes that it should be legal to turn unborn babies into hamburger.

Thank you for keeping the responsibility between both partners. Many do not value human life, but would expect themselves to be protected. So many people desire children and cannot have them. Why can't we protect the innocent lives that need and depend on us the most?
