could you support a pro life candidate

5. Seems like a no-brainer to me

Abortion is just one of a myriad of issues politicians deal with. You're going to get the same outcome on abortion issues no matter which candidate wins. But you won't get the same outcome on many other issues and that's the point, I think.

The district I was born and grew up in was represented by a pro-life Democrat for 24 years. He was quite popular and had strong bipartisan support in the district. He was pretty much untouchable and probably could have stayed in the seat until he died. He decided to leave the House in 2002 to take a job with the UN and was promptly replaced by a Republican who will likely stay in the seat as long as he wants (I predict he will eventually try for the Senate or governor's mansion).

The Democrat probably would have voted the same as the Republican does on abortion issues. But on everything else, not so much.
