Speaking of location, location, location, I decided to compare how the different regions of the country plan on voting this November along with how the abortion issue is felt region by region. First the generic congressional ballot by region. This ties into my previous post about the Northeast west coast having few Republicans while the Midwest except for Illinois and the south has few democrats.

Northeast 55% Democrat 32% Republican
Midwest 36% Democrat 45% Republican
South 38% Democrat 43% Republican
West 48% Democrat 35% Republican
Nationwide 44% Democrat 45% Republican

Second the abortion issue – To make this simpler, I narrowed this down to two categories, 1. Abortion legal in all cases and or legal in most cases except late term abortion. Category 2 All abortion illegal or legal only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape. No other reason or circumstance allowed.

Northeast 66% all or most cases, 34% illegal or only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape.
Midwest 55% all or most cases, 45% illegal or only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape.
South 53% all or most cases, 45% illegal or only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape.
West 62% all or most cases, 37% illegal or only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape.
Nationwide 61% all or most cases, 39% illegal or only in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest or rape.

I will probably get a lot of feed back that having abortion legal in the case of the mother’s life in danger, incest and rape still makes those people pro-legal abortion or pro-choice. But how many of the pro-legal abortion crowd would accept abortion being legal only in the case of the mother’s life, incest and rape with no other exceptions or circumstances? I would say hardly any, which allows me to place the mother’s life, incest and rape along side of abortion being illegal in all case.

It's high past time that we start electing Americans to congress and the presidency who put America first instead of their political party. For way too long we have been electing Republicans and Democrats who happen to be Americans instead of Americans who happen to be Republicans and Democrats.
