It is definitely a big factor, but I'm not an one-issue voter. I would support Giuliani over Clinton.

Yes. Individual decisions about abortions are best decided by the individual parties involved...not by some government beaurocrat who knows nothing of the people or the situation.
When life begins is not an established fact. It is an OPINION. The ruling OPINION should be that of the person involved. Not the opinion of some politician.
As a Christian, I believe life begins when the spirit enters the body. I have seen varying interpretations of scripture that "could" mean this or that, but I have no absolute reason to believe the spirit enters the body until the baby is born.That is my OPINION.
On the other hand, I would not want to have an abortion because my OPINION might be wrong, but that should definitely be MY decision.

Yes, it truly does matter. A lot!
Why?
Well, if you'll look at the statistics of how many precious innocent babies that have been murdered in the name of "choice" convenience, then you would understand why. Over 40,000,000+ and counting. There are approximately 4 abortions (Murders) every two minutes.
Saving life is what being a Christian is all about.
To take away life, goes against those very precepts--kindness, and love.
By permitting Abortion to be carried out, we influence and encourage the wrong attitude towards life.
Choose life! It's the Christian choice!!!

I'm personally pro-life. The issue of abortion is not one for the government to decide. It is the decision of each individual person. Any questions of morality are between each individual person and God. I'm not qualified to pass judgment. My only complaint with abortion as far as the law goes is that if a man beats his pregnant girlfriend and causes her to lose the baby all because he doesn't want to have the baby, that should be considered murder and he should be punished accordingly.
So my answer to your question is yes, I could vote for a Presidential candidate who is not pro-life.

Absolutely. It matters because I don't want anyone appointed to the Supreme Court by a President who would put the "rights" of a fetus ahead of the woman carrying that fetus. It's like republicans go into some kind of moral la-la land over this issue picturing themselves superior to others because of their belief in god and the sanctity of human life. Never mind that life may well end up as a life of misery at the bottom of the economic ladder.

That is a tough question. I would only vote for a pro-choice candidate if they were running against Hillary Clinton. I would still have a hard time doing it, but I think it would be a necessary evil.

No.
Muslims have one thing very correct. We are becoming infidels. We kill unborn babies, create as many new intoxicants as we can and teach our young ladies to act like prostitutes.
Can we please draw the line somewhere? Its not about laws or rules, its about how we should act as a society.
Fourty years ago the thought of squeezing out an unborn child and tossing it in a plastic bag was too horrendus to even consider. Now it is a common and casual thought.
It has nothing to do about choice. It has become about protecting the womans lifestyle. And lifestyle is not worth an abortion.

Yes, because in the end, the presidents personal opinions on the issue make little or, no difference either way and there are much more important issues before us than HIS personal opinion.

Yes, I would, but I am pro-choice and I would only support a candidate who agrees that a woman, and not the government, is THE DECIDER when it comes to her body.

Absolutely! Someone else's religious beliefs won't effect my vote. Life does not begin at conception.
