Do Republicans Really Want to Eliminate Abortion

A three month fetus LOOKS like a baby that's been developing for 3 months. It IS still a human but it can't survive by itself. Just like a 3 month old baby can't survive by itself.

I had a miscarriage at 11 weeks. The tissue that was expelled did not look at all like a baby. It really didn't.

And a baby doesn't look like a 14 year old, and a 14 year old doesn't look like a grandmother...and so on, and so on. The point is that it is still the same exact being...just at a different age.

You seem to think that prolife pepople aren't really prolife. That it's political.

I don't believe that at all. I believe that people in the pro-life movement feel the issue with every fiber of their being. I also believe the Republican party is using the abortion issue to get votes without following through on any meaningful action to change the situation.

Therefore, one issue voters should look at all the issues this election and decide which candidate best represents them.

But a baby still looks like a human being. I understand that human life looks like a blob at that stage, but I just wanted to point out it doesn't look like a baby.

A fetus looks like a human being in the earliest stages of formation. Why does it need to look like a baby to have the same value?

I think you are all getting away from the actual questions. Instead of getting into the usual when a fetus is a life debate, this is the "do you vote republican party candidates based on the parties pro-life stand".

And it is true, they most likely will NEVER over turn Roe V. Wade. So if that is the one issue you are voting for, are there other issues you should maybe be looking at when voting for a candidate?
