McCain + Abortion

John McCain was in Iowa today campaigning and said outright that a Republican who supports abortion would probably not get a nomination, and even if they did, the odds would be against them. I agree to some degree because Republicans are usually conservative with their religious views. Conservatives are usually against abortions due to their beliefs on life. They believe that the moment the baby is conceived, is when the life actually begins. Therefore, aborting the embryo would then be ending a life. Its true that Republicans are mostly conservative and Democrats believe in pro choice, but many politicians reaching into both bowls now. You could have a very liberal republican, and a very conservative democrat. Within each party, there are those from one side who favor certain issues that are characteristically view points from the other side. Roe v. Wade keepings getting brought up and I can see why candidates always use it as a big vote grabber. People are very passionate about pro choice and pro life, and it is going to be an on going struggle and campaign hotplate for candidates. Those who make a better stance on pro choice are going to get the liberal vote. Those who make the better pro-life campaign are going to get more conservative votes. It could get messy.
