Yes, but the posters point was that if abortion were outlawed (and ironicly that would be the will of the people if it came to a democratic vote) the Republican party would be out of any power. This is of course silly and shows a lack of understanding of the Republican voters. As for those one issue voters, do you see someone who is strongly anti-abortion, switching to the democratic party who would be fighting to get abortion back?
Right now the democrats try to scare liberal women into voting saying the Republicans will take away their right to have abortions, do you think they would 'give up' this angle if abortion were outlawed? They would switch to 'get your freedom of choice back!' as a battle cry.
