You and I disagree on abortion but, as one who believes that 50+ million innocents have been wantonly slaughtered under Roe vs. Wade, how am I supposed to prioritize issues? I would like to think that, if you agreed with my premises, you would agree with my conclusions. Part of the problem is that some who are "pro-choice" cannot bring themselves to believe that pro-lifers are serious, informed, principled and absolutely dedicated to that cause. Hillary would be a disaster to the pro-life cause and to many other causes as well. The nomination of a pro-abortion Republican would end the GOP status as the pro-life party and make the pro-life issue a transitory issue rather than a permanent principle.

If the pro-life issue is paramount, then, by definition, all other issues are secondary. Those other issues can still be very important but they are not paramount to pro-lifers. I personally would defend gun rights nearly as militantly as I would pursue pro-life. I feel very strongly in favor of a militantly interventionist foreign policy with all the bells and whistles. I don't like taxes any more than any other conservative does. I admit that I am less fiscally conservative than many and less than I used to be. Whatever your most important issues may be, the probability is that most pro-lifers agree with you but not so much as to abandon the babies.

Even more than the tragic election of Jimmuh Cahtuh against His Accidency and Nixon's Legacy Feckless Ford, the last GOP pro-abort candidate, the election of Mrs. Arkansas Antichrist would galvanize conservatives and cause the formation of a genuine conservative movement in this country for the first time in nearly thirty years. It would be a disciplined movement and not just a hodgepodge of issues that make people feel good. There would be blood in the gutters, first within the movement as it unifies, and then against the Demonrats. So be it if the alternative is a restoration of social issue liberalism as a GOP norm.

Your argument is full of assumptions...so I can play that game too and say that if Hillary takes over with a Democrat congress you can kiss ANY chance of having your first priority realized...EVER. What makes you think once they take over, we’ll ever get any chance again. You ASSUME,again, that there are enough people who think like you do that after seeing a Hillary presidency, will rise up en masse and revolt. I’m sorry to say, and this is not an assumption, that there are just not as many as you think or else we wouldn’t be where we are today.

If Rudy says he will appoint pro-life judges, why don’t you believe him?

All that being said...if abortion is the number one issue to you, which apparently it is, than I guess you have no choice. I just think one day you, and the country, will regret it.
