While I am completely ok with your position on this matter despite how I may disagree with you, you really ought to consider that there are so many additional issues that deserve a lot of weight and consideration when it comes to your vote beyond just abortion. Pro-choice/Pro-life decisions are not the backbone which keeps this country afloat. For example, people suffering financially due to the economy means less money to support a child. Those who get knocked up and don't have enough money to deal with the situation will be more prone to getting an abortion.
I see it as a question of priority.
I believe abortion for convenience to be murder. That being the case, we're committing murder, sanctioned by the government, in huge quantities each year. And not just any murder; this is parents killing their children.
If a politician is point-blank telling me that he or she is okay with this, I don't care what else they stand for.
If you don't have a problem with raping women, I don't really care to hear about your stance on reducing gas prices. If you don't have a problem with murder, I could care less about how you think we should pull out of Iraq because it's killing our soldiers. What right have you, the candidate who accepts murdering children, to give two cents about soldiers killed in the line of duty?
That's my reasoning. Some issues are more important than others.
