So it is all about abortion.  In 1980 people, not unlike this professor, told me I had to vote for R. Reagan because he was "pro-life."  When he left office in Jan. 1989, the abortion rate was nearly identical to when he first took the oath of office.  In 1988 those same people told me i had to vote for G. H.W. Bush because he was "pro-life."  When he left office the abortion rate was higher than it was he took office.  In 1992 people told me I couldn't vote for Bill Clinton because he wasn't "pro-life."  When he left office in 2001, the abortion rate was lower than when he took office.   In 2000, people told me I had to vote for George W. Bush because he was "pro-life."  Yet, when he left office in 2009, the abortion rate was higher than when he took office.  In 2008, people told me I couldn't vote for Barack Obama because he wasn't "pro-life."  Yet, the abortion rate is lower now than when he took office.  If I really care about the unborn, it behooves me to vote Democrat.
