When I criticized him for his stand on this issue, even though I voted for him and worked election protection duty on the day of the election, I was told to shut up and stop whining about my special pony.
So, unless you refused to vote for him on principle, your insistence that there is zero compromise on this issue is a bit hypocritical.
That said, whenever there is a pro-choice Democrat I will support that person over an antichoice Democrat. But I am not going to sit the election out, or vote for the Republican candidate over a single issue - any more than I refused to vote for Barack Obama when he expressly declared that my marriage did not exist, and should not be legally recognized.
