Actually......pro-choice IS pro-abortion, but I digress. Yea, he'll fire up the christian right, but more importantly......he'll fire up the Democrat female base even more insuring Clinton a victory in November! So.....that should cheer the pro-choice Democrats.

The abortion rate among Fundamental Christians is actually pretty high according to some statistics.
People that like researchable information might appreciate some links to credible sources.
TIA.

If only Trumps mother had decided on an abortion would be my thinking on the matter.
As to the moral implications pertaining to the subject, end of the day its a woman's choice and a necessary evil in this day of age if you ask me.

Yes.
Which is why I stated it this way: according to some statistics
If this was an actual abortion discussion, I'd do it differently.
Might be helpful to actually see some (of those) statistics

Who's having abortions (religion)? Women identifying themselves as Protestants obtain 37.4% of all abortions in the U.S.; Catholic women account for 31.3%, Jewish women account for 1.3%, and women with no religious affiliation obtain 23.7% of all abortions. 18% of all abortions are performed on women who identify themselves as "Born-again/Evangelical".
Religion and Abortion
Those women who had abortions in 2008 listed their religious affiliation as:
Roman Catholic = 28.1%
Protestant = 37.3%
Other = 7.1%
None = 27.5%
More than seven in 10 U.S. women obtaining an abortion report a religious affiliation (37% protestant, 28% Catholic and 7% other), and 25% attend religious services at least once a month.[38] The abortion rate for protestant women is 15 per 1,000 women, while Catholic women have a slightly higher rate, 22 per 1,000.[32]
