We don't make "morality" an election issue here. Abortion is not an issue to be debated in an election. In fact, if you are anti-abortion, you won't get elected. Believe it or not, in the last election the Conservative guy Stephen Harper had commercials levelled against him saying that if he was elected, he would "restrict a woman's right to choose" Can't ever imagine that in the USA.
Gay marriage, most people have more important things to worry about.

Thank you James.
It's amazing that people can't understand that when a president, who is supposed to and claims to represent all the people in the country, proceeds on a course of action that doesn't represent the will of all the people in that nation, regardless of the fact that more than 50 million people voted for him, he is disenfranchising them.
Some questioned how this means my vote didn't matter. Well, reconcile how my wishes to be represented by government are fulfilled when the person elected ignores them? That's how 50+ million people are currently being disenfranchised from the political realm--our interests are not being addressed.
