[quote=Anonymous]First of all, not looking for an abortion debate and won't engage in one.  I respect both sides of the issue.

My problem is with the single issue voters.  I have MANY friends and family members who would never vote for a democrat because they want to see Roe v. Wade overturned.  I want to convince them that if they want to fight to end abortions, they need to take their fight elsewhere.  Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the Court has always maintained a majority of republican-appointed justices since Roe v. Wade.  If they wanted to overturn it, they would have by now.  And if they did overturn it, that wouldn't make abortion illegal - just that it is not a constitutional right.  Wouldn't it just send the issue back to the states?  Most states that would ban abortions have already made it quite difficult anyway.

So, the point I want to make is that if you want to fight against abortion, go for it!  I like to see people stand up for what they believe whether I agree with them or not.  Clearly, getting gov't involved and subjecting us to disgusting protests and images has not been working.  Neither has shooting people.  So how would you suggest pro-lifers make their stance?  for one thing, I guess I would tell them to focus more on science.  To throw their support toward scientists trying to prove that a fetus feels pain and has brain function earlier than we currently believe (I think 20 wks?).  As a pro-choicer, I would certainly like to know if that is the case.  If they can prove that pain is felt as 8 weeks, that would certainly go further in making me change my stance than their current efforts.

So, what would you suggest to these people while respecting their opinion/beliefs?
