Anytime a Republican tries to take the moral high ground by telling you a vote for a Democrat is a vote for abortion, I think you need to show them these threads:

Also a pro-life advocate: https://twitter.com/skyejethani/status/1308478454011224070
Given these things, I don’t think it’s at all unreasonable for pro-life Christians to see why voting Rep. won’t change anything and therefore vote Dem. in order to support policies they believe would limit abortion significantly.
Also, in response to the idea that the term “pro-life” has been hijacked by a more consistent pro-life ethic I submit the following: https://twitter.com/tylerleeconway/status/1313475156715724805

And, sure, I understand that, for some people, there is a principle behind voting for the candidate who calls him or herself pro-life. But there are also those who do not see a compelling enough difference between pro-choice and one who merely gives lip service to pro-life.
In other words, I have to actually believe that a candidate is pro-life when he or she says they are, and I also need to believe that a vote for them may actually bring about change.
I do not simply take any candidate's word for it when they say they're pro-life and yet they hardly reflect strong morals and pro-life values. I'm not obligated to take everyone's word for it. I can reasonably assume some people are telling the truth and be suspicious of others.
Lots of people also call themselves just war theorists and yet it appears that their only idea of just war is something like "They do bad to me, therefore, I do bad to them."
