Reply to comment by kittyglitther in More than 6 in 10 New Jerseyans describe themselves as pro-choice on the issue of abortion, a number that has increased over the past decade. Monmouth University Poll finds that three-fourths of state residents support maintaining legal access to abortion, either with or without some limitations by rollotomasi07071

That’s kind of how I sell abortion to pro-lifers. More kids in poverty means more dollars going to social programs, more kids that become part of the system, and more kids that, statistically, will stay in the system for the rest of their lives.

Abortion keeps people off social programs, which Republicans (pro-lifers) love.

A lot of Republicans seem to be really good at single issue objective voting.

They're bad at nuance. Like, how could you be pro life and pro gun? Or for lowering taxes and banning abortion?

Republicans appeal to those single issue voters, but fail to appeal to broader spectrums of thought. Ironically, Democrats, who are quite conservative, have a broader sight of these things.

You’re welcome. Not everyone is going to jump on board with “her body her choice”, but when it affects their wallets? Different story.
