It would make more sense, if the president actually had any kind of power to change abortion. As it stands, he doesn't. He can try and stack the courts, hope the get the biased judicial appointments through congress, and hope to get a case before the SCOTUS that will require a judicial review of roe v wade, and hope after all that, that the judges overturn it.

A pro-life candidate could practically murder an adult on stage in front of a pro-life crowd, and they would still vote for him, because he tells them, "This time we'll finally stop those baby killers!". Then on the flip side, a pro-choice candidate can do wtf he wants, just as long as he convinces enough gullible pro-choicers that the Christians are gonna take their abortions away, unless he's elected to stop it.

If any of you actually vote for president based on their stance on abortion, please just dont vote anymore.

I agree, but abortion is one of those hot button issues. If you come out pro-life or pro-choice you instantly alienate a large selection of the popluation.
