I’ve met an awful lot of people who don’t agree with the stance on abortion their party takes. Since we have only two viable parties, we have to choose one or the other or be an independent. But independents in 12 states can’t vote in the primary elections which are becoming more important these days.

How people choose a party is often following family tradition, after all it was the parents who brainwashed the spawn. Nobody likes all the positions of any party, usually it’s which one backs what’s most important to you.
I don’t think religion enters into that decision much, except the church may have done as much brainwashing as the parents.
