That is where the comparision to Black people voting Democrat comes in. Both aggravate me becuase the politicians in either case don't actually have to do anything to guarantee the loyal vote.

well, I completely disagree with you to say the lest... at least where republican politicians are concerned. The fact is, Anti-abortion lobby groups do a very good job of grading all of these guys. In fact, they have recently supported democrats who are opposed to abortion, and have turned on John McCain in particular for not being pro life enough...Dr. Dobson has clearly indicated that he will not vote for either canidate in this election because of the abortion issue.
Look, Im not trying to argue much more than the point that being pro-choice is not an Anti-abortion position...
