mckinley: We've had two Democratic presidents in 34 years."
Doesn't matter if all or none were Democrats. There are reasons why people vote the way they do, and those reasons have little to do with how many times a Republican or Democrat has won an election.
"It isn't going to go away and there are pro choice Republicans too."
There are pro abortion Independents and pro life Democrats as well. Party affiliation is only relevant when you look at what your party as a whole favors and what it opposes. The Democratic party as a whole and Democrats in general favor abortion over the pro life position. But if you are in the minority opinion among your peers, then there is nothing unusual about that.
Take a little trip back in time, and ask yourself how many people probably believed slavery wasn't going to go away either. The legality of abortion or slavery isn't the issue. The issue should be (if you are a Christian) is it okay in the eyes of God to end the life of a child regardless of the childs stage of development.
There were Christian slaves and Christian slave owners during St Pauls life, but I seriously doubt there were any Christians who thought it was okay to kill a child.
"Do I have blood on my hands if I vote Democratic?"
If you support abortion then yes, at least indirectly if not directly, you have blood on your hands. You are not only responsible for what you do, but also responsible for what you encourage other people to do.
