Never Trump Republicans, think twice before you vote for abortion-supporting Democrats

For some voters, a single issue does much to spur them to either accept or reject a politician's entire platform. Where a candidate stands on hot-button topics, which can include gun control, climate change, or funding our military, matters. Unsurprisingly, abortion is one of the most divisive subjects carefully weighed by the engaged members of the electorate.
The Democratic Party collectively favors abortion as a "woman's right to choose." To them, the issue is one that concerns the personal freedom of a woman. On the other hand, the Republican Party is largely against abortion. For the GOP, abortion is about the most fundamental of all rights: the right to life. The competing beliefs of self-determination and existence keep abortion at the forefront of our national discussion, but while those who identify as pro-life certainly prize liberty, they realize that life comes first before all other privileges. Because of that, it must be protected.
With the 2020 election around the corner, some disgruntled individuals on the Right may consider supporting a candidate other than President Trump for a variety of reasons. Since a third-party option would stand no chance at winning the election, that only leaves the Democrats. The leftist agenda espoused by any of the presidential candidates vying for the job of the commander in chief is enough to give conservatives pause. Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders may be the most extreme, but even Pete Buttigieg and Tulsi Gabbard, who, by comparison, aren't as radical, are questionable enough in their own right. Chief among the reasons to reject any of the Democratic candidates in their entirety is their desire to protect abortion.
