Why is abortion such a powerful thing for republicans? Is it a Jesus thing?

- Really i think its primarily a unique brand position. A easy differentiation for both parties to flaunt. Liberals who support abortion never realize their********
- reason to support it goes against so much of their other political policy. The same for the right. But I'm curious if you are so concerned about abortion to********

- rule of law based on majority idea of morality. Also t go back to the regular question left/right idea of abortion is both primarily focused on time.********

- shape republicans. Christian values would play a part but not all are religious... So party affiliation is a false political generalization.********

- It was settled years and years ago in courts. Abortion is legal.monospaced
- "no ... legal barriers of any kind whatsoever exist today ... for a woman to obtain an abortion for any reason during any stage of her pregnancy."monospaced
- that being said, bringing up religious based morality arguments is pointless, since this is a legal issue and nothing moremonospaced
- Religious people think they can tell everyone else how to live. They have no respect for individual freedoms and rights.zarkonite
- Or for other religions or the law of the land.monospaced
- Oh, and they're hypocrites too. They're against it until they need one.monospaced
- A. Courts don't create law, mono... years ago a bunch of dopes in robes interpreted existing law a certain way—it's very easy to overturn—nothing is 'settled'.PonyBoy
- B. Folks of faith are allowed their opinion and ability to fight for that opinion just as much as someone who wishes to refer to the unborn as a 'lump of cells'PonyBoy
- C. Religious people (this is for zarkonite) are no different than those who consider themselves 'free thinkers' and wish to tell the religious to fuck off.PonyBoy
- Abortion is legal... but it is not permanent law. <3PonyBoy
- I understand, but it's about as permanent a law as any in this country, born during a time where conservatives were even more conservative. It's not changing.monospaced
- No new argument against abortion has been presented, and therefore the existing law will not be addressed, no matter how much foot stomping there is about it.monospaced
- To vote based on abortion stances is to throw away a vote. Kinda like voting for Trump because you thought there would be a wall. Not gonna happen.monospaced
- It's really not even 'law' though. It's a 'decision' based on interpretation of existing law. Laws can be overturned or found unconstitutional for that matter.PonyBoy
- I guess what I'm saying is "Never say never" :)PonyBoy
- Hold your breath.monospaced
