The abortion/religion connection is somewhat bogus as well. Most people don't like abortion. The difference is whether a women makes that decision for herself or if Jim decides. Is it sad so many babies are aborted? Sure. What about the 50% of fertilized eggs that don't successfully implant? Sad. What about for those that do? Another 20% end fail in the first trimester.
In US, the numbers come out to about 12 million fertilized eggs per year. 6 million pregnancies 4 million live births. more than a million each miscarriages and abortions of choice. 9 out of 12 million fertilized eggs are not born and only about 1 million of those is due to the choice of the woman.
Having 1 kid, no kid, or 30 kids is a personal choice. I won't tell you or anyone else how many you should have. If republicans and so concerned about how many fertilized eggs become live births, they might also focus on improving reproductive health rather than defunding planned parenthood.
Not a single real piece of evidence that republicans value life more than democrats. Totally bogus.

You said the following two things.
(1) only about 1 million of those (unborn deaths) is due to the choice of the woman.
And then,
(2) Not a single real piece of evidence that republicans value life more than democrats
Your side advocates for the right to slaughter a million unborn babies every single year. My side opposes that. And you don't concede, that means my side values life more than your side.
I also posted a study which says that conservatives are also more charitable (not by much at all) than liberals.
That's quite a bit of evidence that my side has more empathy for the voiceless and the vulnerable. Which is why I like my side.
