re: #49 tradewind

Not that you’re really asking for information, but sure. There are large numbers of mostly African American, mostly very religious and church-going voters who wouldn’t think of voting for a Republican, and yet they also have deeply held anti-abortion views. Most of them are extremely conservative on other social issues as well. If these blocs begin to fragment, as they are occasionally showing signs of attempting to do, that’s going to be a major problem for the Democrats.

I don’t think that blacks will vote for the GOP in the forseeable future, given the incredible racism they’ve displayed during Obama’s presidency. You’re right that religious black Protestants tend to be socially conservative; making it all the odder that the GOP has so determinedly alienated them with its race-baiting tactics.

And thank you for backpedaling and now saying that there are just ‘large numbers’, rather than asserting the entirety of religious African-Americans want abortion banned. The actual statistic is about fifty-percent of black Protestants.
