28. I know several that I would call pro abortion
but why argue about abortion on a thread about tax policy?

My other guess is that if you started a thread with the thesis "nobody is pro abortion" and then went on to describe the difference between pro-choice and pro-abortion, that it would quickly generate many more replies and Recs than my own thread about tax policy.

In other words, the country is divided over abortion because even the left thinks that abortion is more important than tax policy. But I think it is tax policy where we should be able to unite people. All of the bottom 95% should be on the same side, but we are not because this issue is such a low priority - for both sides.
