Please, the GOP platform was anti-choice when the TP movement wasn’t even an idea. You can point out that Pro-choice Republican PAC and I don’t think anyone’s disputed you that there are individuals who vote Republican who believe abortion should be legal. There are likewise people who think the opposite and vote Democratic.

More than a few individuals, maybe you remember the Democrats for Reagan? Meet the Obama Republican Women.

The issue of choice provides a greater opening for
Obama than other core
Democratic issues.
The issue of abortion is the only issue on which these pro
-choice
Republican women think Obama will do a better job tha
n McCain, by a 38 - 26 percent
margin. As the table below demonstrates, Obama has a d
eficit of at least 27 points on every other issue tested. While the Independent women a re inclined to think Obama will do a better job than McCain on all of these issues by rela
tively wide margins, they give him the biggest advantage on the issue of abortion

IF as I do you believe in the two party as check and balance system-A better GOP would make for better legislation, sensible check and balance etc.
