26. You are not proposing any alternative
So it really wouldn't bother you if RvsW was overturned because it would still be easy for women to have abortions? Because it will ultimately cause the downfall of the Repub. Party? Or at the very least cause them to lose an election?

You compare this issue with slavery which, to me, is completely offensive. You are basically stating that YOU believe that abortion is morally indefensible and it is the cause of many losses in elections, just like the slow democrat response to slavery. Give me a break! If the dems gave in to fundamentalist pressure on the abortion issue, then really what do we have? Not a party that millions of women would want to align themselves with. It would just alienate us and, quite frankly, steer our attention away from more important issues and make us contemplate wedge issues which only serves the Republicans better.

As for your opinion that the 'keep your laws off my body' argument is somewhat lame, you are telling me that my body and my decisions are not that important and that it would serve the dems better if I drop it. No, no, no. I will not have it. It is a damn good argument thank you very much. I'll be damned if I am going to give up my fundamental right to privacy just so Dems can win because once they win, what will it matter.

Abortion did not cause the outcome of the election. Don't fool yourself.
