[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]^^ you are just wrong.  Without access to legal, safe, abortion care, women die.

It was the doctors who first pushed for abortion to become legal because they saw so many hemorrhaging women end up dead. Women in emergency rooms from back alley abortions.

Abortions will happen whether they are legal or not. It's just a matter of how many more women will end up dead[/quote]

[b]The abortion rate is about 10 or less per 1000 women. I'm sorry, but an issue that impacts less than 1% of women is simply not a high priority for me.  [/b]

Do I think you should have accessible abortion, sure.  But they single issue is so far down on the list in terms of importance because of how few people it impacts.  It's be like getting hyped over a single issue if a candidate had a questionable plan for replacing laws for making things wheel chair accessible yet had great anti-crime and economic ideas.  Sure, I think you should make things wheel chair accessible, but if you relaxed those laws, I probably wouldn't care since it impacts so few people while crime and economic policy impacts millions of people everyday.

Sorry, abortion just isn't anywhere near as important as taxation, the economy, jobs, crime, and school quality.

I really don't care about Hogan's stance on abortion at all.  All of these side issues are minor compared to bigger picture stuff.  Issues like abortion are tiresome topics designed to divide people and trick candidates into gotcha games.  I care 100000000x more about the economy. [/quote]

Sorry, we use tangible things like statistics:
