How do you know who's actually having abortions? You act like Republicans don't have abortions. Pro-life women are having abortions too and plenty of them. The polling shows that at least 1/3 of Republicans think abortion should be legal. You don't speak for all conservatives and definitely not all Republicans.
Here's what Black Christians know about voting and why we mostly don't vote Republican.
1) Who you elect is not going to end abortions. Overturning Roe v Wade is not going to end abortions or make abortions illegal. It would return abortions back to it's prior state of being adjudicated state by state. Abortion wasn't illegal before Roe V Wade. Abortions have been going on in America since its founding's and will likely never cease.
2) The statistics show that abortions have been declining since 1973 and had its biggest decline under Obama. Saying that democrats drive abortions is a false narrative. Neither party drives abortions up or down. What the data shows is that three things affect the abortion rate. 1) Access to healthcare 2) Fewer unplanned pregnancies 3) Decline in sex rates among youth (teens to early 20's).
3) Black Christians vote for democrats mainly because that's who we feel (at this present moment) stands behind us based on our history in America. We don't think Dem's are perfect. They don't help us as much as we really want them to but also they hurt us less than Republicans do. We throw out issues such as abortion and gay rights when voting because we don't believe either party is really going to affect either one of them. "Religious liberty" for blacks is our freedom to worship our God in our churches. That's it. It has nothing to do with employers, political affiliations, or public prayer in school. I don't care who my employer offers birth control to. As long as they don't stop us from assembling and worshipping we're ok.
