I'm more & more convinced that Trump is so reprehensible, he's causing long time pro-lifers to reconsider their position.

When one lone issue requires a vote for a pig, yet you want to vote in good conscience, many will just opt to soften their commitment to the pro-life cause.
2/ Which is sad, really. Listen to today's NYT Daily. Here are some women who were Republican but cannot fathom voting for someone as disgusting as Trump. But they've always been pro-life. What are they to do? In the end, Trump is so bad they'd prefer to compromise on abortion.
3/ And this is not an excuse or a justification, it's just a sad reality. Your great "pro-life" candidate is so gross that he's pushing folks to downgrade the sanctity of unborn life.

Makes you wonder, whose a greater danger to the pro-life movement afterall, in the long run?
4/ He's so bad, we're hearing people say, "Well maybe I'm wrong on abortion. Maybe it should be a private issue. Maybe there's cases I just don't understand," etc. I'm not here to attack anyone, but maybe Trump is so terrible that using abortion as the hammer to force folks to
5/ vote for Trump will, in many cases, cause folks to just soften on abortion. I mean, it does appear to be a real dilemma for folks, and on one side you have that pig talking all day, and on other, you have no guarantee at all that abortion laws will change one way or the other.
