The Elephant in the Democrat’s Voting Booth
As the only Canadian on Catholic Light, here’s where I more or less stand on various political issues:
Pro gun control
Pro state subsidized post secondary education
Anti capital punishment
Pro social safety net
Pro socialized healthcare
Pro immigration
Now given my stand on various political issues, which party do you think I would have more or less voted for in the last election if I happened to be an American citizen? If you guessed the GOP, you are correct.
Basically, I feel strongly on all the aforementioned issues, but not as strongly as I feel on the abortion issue. For me, the pro-life issue trumps all other issues when I enter the voting station, and most important among the pro-life issues is seeing abortion (the pre-meditated butchering of children in the womb) brought to an end. Looks like I’m not the only one who feels this way. Kristen Day, the head of Democrats for Life, writes the following excellent political reflection on how the Abortion Stance Hurts Dems.
