Romney personally is not looking to make changes to national abortion law. A constitutional amendment outlawing all abortion will never pass.
I can vote for Romney because I care about the other issues and I do not expect any real change in abortion laws to happen under him.

Why don't you compare the number of Americans killed defeating Qaddafi to the number of Americans killed in Bush's invasion of Iraq. Then, let's have a discussion about who is capable of winning a war.
Bush said he didn't care very much about OBL. Romney said, "It’s Not Worth Moving Heaven And Earth And Spending Billions Of Dollars Just Trying To Catch One Person."
When Obama said that if he had actionable intelligence about the location of OBL, he would deploy forces to an allied country to attack him, Romney said, "I Do Not Concur In The Words Of Barack Obama To Enter An Ally Of Ours."
Yeah, Obama didn't win that one, did he?

Do you have daughters???
It doesn't matter to me how good the economy is if I cannot fully participate in it as a free person. If I am forced to stay pregnant, or forced to feed/house/provide or pay for care for another child, it limits my ability to fully participate in this dream economy of yours. I'm not a big "equal pay" person but one could argue that if the economy discriminates against me, subtly or directly, for being female, for being pregnant, for needing maternity time off or for being a mother, then I am also not free to participate fully in your economy.
If the government passes laws govering my body then I am little better than another piece of property being passed around in this economy.
I'm not willing to condenm my daughter or anyone else's to a life of poverty, a life as a second class citizen, if she makes a mistake and gets knocked up, or if (god forbid) she is a victim of legitimate rape.
And I don't think for one second that these old, white men are unaware of the disadvantage they are placing women at when they make us bear the costs of parenting. I think it's one more way for the white male to maintain his supremacy.
So in a way you are right, it IS the economy, stupid.

As usual, you are an idiot. You think because you aren't aware of any abuse or infidelity within those marriages that that equals pro-woman? Sweety every bastion of patriarchy is pro-woman - as long as the woman keeps her place, holds her tongue, and in general is a good, dependent breeder.
you sound bitter and lonely

Oh wait, his top concern WASN'T the economy? He was willing to die for his LIBERTY? Well fellas that's how I feel, and many women like me feel, about a party that wants to govern our bodies. Everything else comes second.
Get your representatives to get off the sex stuff and win more votes.
