after 300 years a woman wins a parties nomination and loses the EC but wins the popular vote

47. This is kind of bullshit. No one is saying they have to "support abortion." We are saying they

cannot impose their beliefs about abortion on me. They don't have to lift a finger for abortion. They just have to get those fingers off my uterus and not think they have a say about what goes into it.

And nominally their opposition to abortion rights comes from a belief that "all life is sacred" and fetuses are people. Bad science, but let's let that go. If, to avoid "supporting abortion" they vote for the Republican, they are ALWAYS endangering a lot more lives than if they vote for the Democrat. Let's face it, looking at climate change alone, Republicans are going to kill us all.

So if their issue is that they are against killing things, then if they do the math they will STILL vote for the Democrat, even if they think abortion falls into that category.

I say this as someone who grew up in a very Catholic family and community. And as an aside, those staunch beliefs are actually quite mushy. In my Catholic college, a larger percentage of women by far had abortions than in any other cohort I ever belonged to in my life. As in, they had many TIMES the number of abortions. This was because they had little information about birth control, and because their families and communities would treat them badly if they were pregnant out of wedlock. Often the abortions were arranged by their parents, often pillars of the Catholic community.
