Does it have any swaying you to vote one way or the other?

It shouldn't but it does.

It should be between your doctor and your religion, not the government.

It's not the deciding factor, but it does figure into the equation.

No personally I am pro life......meaning no abortion, no capital punishment or unecessary wars where innocents die. No candidate stands for all of those.

No, not this year. I'm not thrilled with how either of them approached the issue this time around.

Absolutely, it's so important that it can be a deciding factor to be honest.

No.

If there were no other issues effecting me on a day-to-day basis and I thought the ruling was in imminent danger, I might feel differently.

I also have nothing but respect for Christians who make it their sole voting issue. If you believe in God, believe that a fetus is a human being and believe in the 6th Commandment, making abortion your single most important issue is a moral imperative. You may not agree with these Christians, but at least they're not hypocrites.
