Why abortion will not be made illegal.

Because Republicans need it. It's how they get elected. That and gay marriage, of course. But if they lost these two very important issues, people would have to consider other reasons to vote for them, and frankly, they are dying on every other issue.
The democrats are killing them on Social Security. The Republicans killed themselves over the Terry Schiavo dibacle. They're having major ethics issues. (not that people notice because they're still whining over Clinton lying about getting a BJ) They're just losing ground. Unfortunately people will keep voting for them because they think they'll help get abortion made illegal.
Now, I've already stated my opinion on what good making abortions illegal will do. But, unfortunately most people are unable to think about this issue rationally.
I know there will be other social issues to come about to force people to vote republican. Right now I can't think of anything as big as these two. We can't go back to hating minorities so I'm not sure who we'll hate next. (And don't try to tell me the gay marriage thing isn't about hate, because that's exactly what it is. Can we say 4/5 of a person?)

Suppose you win an election by a close margin after Gore tried to take it from you in court. What do you do, the first thing after you win? You set up a great vote counting system that will be very difficult to cheat. What did they do? They made it worse, I suppose. In my opinion, Republicans have stolen the second to last election. That's why they can never allow gay marriage. This is the most serious problem in USA. Not poverty, not Irak, not North Korea. Gay marriage. I can't sleep at night thinking about what will happen with gay marriage in USA.
