“Did the protests really cause the shut-down, or is this an abortion clinic that is being shuttered so Obama can point to it and claim, “This is what you can expect from Romney.”

But do we really care? It’s one less clinic. I’m all for it. I’ve never believed that we were going to win or lose in the political sphere anyway.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I do think that the gop would act decisively to make abortion illegal. It’s just that they’d wait until about a month after the last clinic closed due to lack of business before doing so. Or are you really arguing that willard will act to change the status quo if elected?

Did the protests really cause the shut-down, or is this an abortion clinic that is being shuttered so Obama can point to it and claim, “This is what you can expect from Romney.”

But do we really care?  Yes, I do believe we should.  Look, I'm not arguing the closing of an abortin clinic is in and of itself a bad thing.  On it's own, it's a great thing.  If it does give Obama an edge toward re-election, and it's enough to toss the election to him, this could turn out very bad for the nation.  That's all I am saying.  I think you can understand where I'm coming from with this premise.

It’s one less clinic. I’m all for it.  And as far as it relates to less abortions, so do I.  What if you were to find out there is a 50/50 chance this clinic will be up and running again on 11/07/2012.  Would you understand then what was truly taking place here?  And if Obama were re-relected by a very narrow margine, what would your take then be?

I’ve never believed that we were going to win or lose in the political sphere anyway.  Okay, but this isn't just about abortion.  It's about another four years for Obama to dismantle the nation.  And I state that with obvious reservation that my premise may be inaccurate.  I'm just tossing it out there knowing how the Obama team would likely game this issue for political gain.

Now, don’t get me wrong. I do think that the gop would act decisively to make abortion illegal. It’s just that they’d wait until about a month after the last clinic closed due to lack of business before doing so.  Yes, we're on the same page with regard to that.

Or are you really arguing that willard will act to change the status quo if elected?
  Not at all, but you can't possibly be making the case that Obama would only reference Romney's likely actions with honestly.  He'd cast Romney as a guy that would close every abortion clinic, even though you and I know there's about 0.005% of that actually taking place.   The Obama team will do anything to achieve re-election.

Thanks for the response.  We've got a lot in common here.  Don't let my raising a possible down side here, cause you to think otherwise.
