...including 40% of all Republicans.  However, 70% of conservative Republicans oppose abortion in most or all cases.

Reagan and the Bushes won 5 terms when support for abortion was higher. Republicans are crushing it nationally, dominating the poltical landscape.

Cruz and Rubio both would make abortion a major plank in their platform, but Trump seems to only talk about things that he wants to talk about and I bet if he is nominated he will be more than capable of not letting the Religious right run his campaign for him.  

........and yet the GOP establishment is quietly plotting how to derail him, if he is the GOP nominee. It must be a nightmare for the establishment knowing full well that a Trump nomination would spell disaster for down ticket, Senate & House GOP races.

But I don't think abortion plays a part in it Honda.

...large chunk of religious conservative voters.  He can't veer away from thumping because as a Yankee he has to appeal to Bible Belt voters too.

All politicians pander, and your link is a pitiful attempt from one of the nuttiest of the nutty to discredit Trump for not being "Christian enough"

...yourself wherein you, p/k & USG were gleeful about giving Laffy the silent treatment.  I called you guys out for your lack of maturity and in your embarrassment you reported it.  Speaking of old trends, old friend, don't start your old habit of farting and then blaming someone else for it.

...the hypocritical, right-wing, holier-than-thou conservative Republicans on this board.

Until then you are just ranting. Lol

Gender or self interest have absolutely nothing to do with that belief.

If it is made illegal, then ladies will find a way.  I remember before planned parenthood and when abortion wasn't as accepted as it is today, ladies would get abortions using unconventional methods.  I remember horror stories about wire coat hangers.  If abortion is made illegal, it will just go underground.  

...after the 2nd trimester, you feel they are  "bible thumping hypocritical assholes."

Why would I want to have posts removed in a thread I was actually having some fun with?

You're correct though, about some people refusing to listen to others.

to compare abortion to prostitution is disingenuous at best. Prostitution is an act between two consenting adults. Even when made legal, children are not allowed to consent to prostitution. As far as abortion goes. . . . well, one half of the duo in that situation doesn't even have a chance to consent. Many abhorrent things continue to happen to people even though they are illegal. Which ones of them should be made legal for the convenience and self interest of those that commit them based on privacy, as The SCOTUS did with abortion?

With all the ill controlled kids I see at the market and malls these days I can only hope abortion will soon become retroactive, thus proactively bettering the homo sapiens gene pool.

Certainly long enough to know that questioning my "maturity" is hardly the way to piss me off. Call me a liar and we have an issue, but calling me immature is like calling me an asshole. I am hardly going to even try to refute such a statement, especially with well over 30,000 posts proving otherwise.

Too be serious for a moment, it's well known here that I am firmly pro choice, but it's simply not an issue that I waste a lot of time over. There is a solid majority in this country that is in favor of leaving it up to the woman carrying the fetus/baby in most cases, even the most whacko right to lifer is not going to change this fact. What does bother me is candidates that spend all of their political capital on this issue. Roe/Wade is NOT getting overturned any more than Gay Marriage, lets get over it and move on

But, the Supreme Court doesn't, and I would find it difficult to believe they would condone murder!  

so long as we 1) get more baby parts 2) pick the right babies to kill (use if for gender selection like some Asian communities, or for social engineering - 1/2 of all inner-city pregnancies are terminated by abortion so it is kinda like a silent minority genocide)

and your post makes that point.

you guys and your euphemisms (go ahead, look it up!)

hide your vile acts behind!  I'd call that pretty thin cover.

no outrage though (you cant reed so gud, huh?).  I am ok with you taking out your fellow burdens on society, particularly early so they don't cost me nothing.  In fact I encourage it!
