To some people, it is. There are people who are adamant pro-life just as some are pro-choice, and who will vote that way.
Each individual voter has their "hot button" issues that guide their voting choices.
It is their right to vote for whatever reason they choose.

There are many reasons to chose a president and abortion is one.The population has changed from baby boomers to spanish and arabic immigrants. Legal and illegal. America between Abortion and Viet Nam and Drugs and whatever else has lost a generation of otherwise american people. We have been repopulated with another generation of people who are more abundant in numbers. They come here to do the jobs and live the dream we created. We need to know the presidents policy on immigration. We need to know the presidents policy on energy and if we can attempt to use alternate fuel like corn and will it be funded to redesign cars as we know them now. No one is getting this. It cost the same but there is work involved and organization skills. Of course we won't need oil as much so some don't like that idea. We need toknow the presidents feelings on education and budgeting. Job creation for the good of the next generaton. We need to educate AND CHANGE the world as it now stands. So who will have a balanced open mind on what is truly needed or will we scream nuclear war like Hilliary and Osama?

Not really. Abortion is one of those hot ticket items that sways votes, but makes no difference. Whether a President is for or against abortion isn't going to change it's legality...not without an overturn of Roe v. Wade and backing by the Congress - which will never happen.
So I suppose a candidates stance on the issue reflects other aspects of his moral values (or lack thereof). But in my opinion there are more important issues that need to be addressed - one's that might actually be legislated on in the next term...

Do you think that the next president will resolve the abortion issue. NO!!!!!! It will never be resolved. There is no good solution to the issue. Just leave it alone. People will get them legal or not. We have more important issues going on right now. Don't waste your time on an issue that cannot and will not be resolved by the next president or the one after that.

Only if you've lost your reason. Gay marriage, abortion, flag burning are trotted out each election season for the faithful.
But the reality is that no elected official in Washington will legislate for the country on what is a state concern. Its not Washington that writes the laws for marriage, gay or otherwise, and each state will put on the restrictions against abortion as they will get away with, flag burning, while reprehensible has been found to be a free speech issue.
Next time you hear someone propose it while looking for a DC address, know you are being played for an emotional and/or a religious fool.

This is one of many ways the corruption in washington DC is propagated. People on here from many backgrounds agree that special interest is a problem. Rather than taking back control of our democracy its a back seat in many minds to this and several other issues. As hopeful stated many americans vote single issue. Some feel so strongly they would sacrifice the constitution for this sort of thing.

No, but it is a factor to consider seriously. A president's views (bias) will probably influence their choice of Supreme Court judges who are around for decades beyond the president's term. For myself, I see a candidate that takes a hard-line stand against pro-choice, gay marriage and other private issues as one that is more inclined to attempt legislating morality and disregarding individual rights. I do not want government in the bedroom, I want government to work on national and international issues.

No, but the current President is a reason to choose abortion.

NO, considering that not a one is going to pass any legislation banning abortion I do not think it should be given any consideration when voting.

No. A president does not do abortions.
