Please point out where I said I was for laws to control women's bodies. I vote for pro-life candidates, but would much rather they spend their efforts advocating for non-profits such Mercy Multiplied and education in schools. I'm not for government funds in any way being used towards abortion efforts. (not that they currently are).

There's no need for any funding if men control their own bodies.....and women control their own bodies......sounds like the lack of control comes at home first....not politics or religion. If people pay or support legislation that takes control away from the women, those people should also pay for the damage control that comes afterwards...choices

You've said it many times. Here is one example

I believe abortion is murder, so any law enacted (that is, voted in) to protect that fetus has my vote.

If you vote for candidates who would outlaw abortion, you are for those laws. That's what that means. You're not stupid, don't pretend the rest of us are.

Feels like saying "I vote for candidates who are for strict gun regulation, but why would you think I'm against the 2nd amendment?"

Unfortunately had to make that choice when I had no choice but to vote against Trump (for Biden, blech).

First time I've done that in decades.

But not just for gun rights. There are many issues I hate about both Republicans and Democrats.

Yes, but that wasn't the reason you voted for him. That's the difference.

Well, that's a bit simplistic don't you think? A problem kind of arises when there's no candidate who agrees with 100% of your "absolute" policy positions.

Not that this applies relative to abortion in the case of Biden vs. Trump, but it could have if Biden had followed the teachings of his church.

I was wondering how difficult is the adoption process for an LGBT couple to adopt in the modern culture? Seems that there must be a huge market for adoption amongst that segment of the population...just have no idea but your post about hetero Christian couples made me wonder if other couples get blackballed when it comes to adoption? I know celebrities have succeeded at it but amongst regular folks I have no idea.

Adoption by same sex couples depends on state. Some states are fine, the ones with most restrictive anti abortion laws are also most anti gay. But organization promoted by ABM is right wing antigay Christian group that produced sanitized view of US history full of good white people and happy darkies.

thanks...seems like alienating those communities is counterproductive with so many children needing loving homes.

Sure, in a vacuum. But in ABM's specific case, he's made it clear that he votes for "pro-life" candidates because they're "pro-life." So, no, not at all simplistic--if you vote for someone because they say they'll do a thing, you're for that thing.
 
In any election, it's rare to have absolute agreement with a given candidate. We all have our core issues, however. I shocked many friends in 2008 when I said I could not vote for Obama because at that time he opposed marriage equality.
If someone says forced birth is their core issue they will, and did, vote for an absolutely corrupt and unqualified president over a believing Christian challenger who thinks women are smart enough to make our own health care decisions.

It means that I voted for Trump for other reasons than simply abortion issues. Loved how he was taking it to China, as well. Also, loved his support for our Veterans.
 
John McCain was a decorated veteran.....I don't remember Trump treating him well at all or even attending his funeral...trump mocked veterans and insulted soldiers and officers serving overseas that countered his lies with truth...causing many to resign from positions in which they were respected and did good work.......Hiding behind the Goodwill Santa won't change the facts.

You were prevented from dictating anything by law.

Men voting for abortion restrictions are why the right for women to choose is being attacked.

Incorrect.

Women outnumber men.

Therefore, men have no chance at winning any vote without women also voting with them.

I know more pro-life women than pro-life men.

Trump did not support Veterans. He tried to turn over tasks that were done by VA hospitals to the private sector. Also, he was against claims resulting from burn pits.

He liked Veterans who weren't captured.
