If they did have the senate with 55 votes, about 5 "Republican" senators are really closer to democrats than republicans. They would not have the Senate.
So pushing for it now is a moot point it would fail, and only serve as a rallying cry for the disjointed left. We all know how pissy the left gets when you start saying you should be responsible BEFORE having sex.
Of course there are Republicans like myself who don't really give a shit, would never push for a fight on this, and think in the long run abortion helps the nation by reducing the welfare roles and the amount of future democrats, but thats just me being evil.

You do have a point there. Conservatives don't have the numbers, even now. That's a pretty hilarious perspective when it comes to abortion helping society
I'm a Libertarian. Let them do what they want and have fewer regulations governing everyone.
Unfortunately, you don't see too many Libertarians in power.
I happen to personally not want to kill any of my potential children. But I haven't been put in a situation yet where I have to make that choice and I wouldn't tell anyone they are mistaken for making that choice. Is that Pro-life? I guess, but it isn't the same vein as my friend E, for example, who gets into anyone and everyone's face the minute they mention anything revolving around the subject.
Interesting point of fact on an odd religion that I happen to know a lot about (me<--indoctrinated at a young age)... Mormons tend to be pro-life. They preach pro-life from the pulpit and tell people to vote pro-life. But their practice is a little different. They don't place it on the same level as murder. If someone murders someone, and wants to join the Mormon church, they are denied. If someone has an abortion, they are welcomed. And yet, they're pro-life. Hmmmmmmm. There's a different perspective for you.
So there we go.
