The killing of currently living people and the welfare of currently living people is of FAR greater importance than someone who is not out of the womb yet.
It's a state matter, not a federal one. Shouldn't be an issue in presidential elections at all.
It's an issue that is intentionally designed to get certain groups of people to vote for a certain political candidate.
I wholeheartedly think that contraception should be pushed more and more. More contraceptions = less need for abortions.
And finally, it doesn't matter if abortion is made illegal. Many, many people will still do it the old fashioned way and I've even heard of certain herbs or things a woman can take to kill the fetus long before anyone knows she is pregnant. I could be wrong on that last part, though. I've only saw things in passing and never looked into it- but I would.
