Let us get back to the basics.
1. Abortion is wrong.
2. Supporting then a political organization that supports abortion is also wrong.
3. A Christian should therefore not support the Democratic party.
Pretty simple. Haize, you are making it harder than you need to. And if you do not agree that abortion is wrong...well...there is no way we can reach you.

Find me the quote where I said abortion wasn't wrong
Your 'basics' are also flawed. 1 does not Support 2. Nor does 2 support 3. Of course 1 should support 3 as well but doesn't. A simple Critical Thinking class would show that. But taking your 'basics' as true, where does it end? Why just Political parties? The Democratic Party did not abort the baby. The pregnant woman decided, of her own free will, to have the abortion. The physician, of his or her own free will, decided to perform the procedure. Should we not go to doctors? He or she belongs to the AMA, so should Christians not go to doctors who belong to the AMA? What about the Medical Colleges who teach the procedure? Can you, as a Christian, support those schools and doctors who graduate from there? These schools are teaching the procedure, not the Democratic Party. Their doctors are performing the procedure, not the Democratic Party. Even physicians who do not perform the procedure but graduate from the Medical College are still supporting the act of abortion, according to your reasoning, through their tuition dollars.
And if you really want to take this out to its 'logical' extension, Christians can't buy anything made in China. Why? Because China FORCES women to have abortions. Which, can be seen as far more hideous then what we have here in America. And what about businesses that support Democrats? No Ben and Jerry's for you. Better find out what Berkshire Hathoway owns, cause you can't go to any of those businesses.
Oh, and you can't vote for Mitt Romney, because when he was at Bain, he owned stock in a company that supported abortion, was actually in the abortion business some would say.
Life isn't so simple is it? I would say go back listening to your Wagner, but we all know whose favorite composer her was
, and we must follow the law of the land (ask the dean of the School of Govt how is boss is dealing with that). While I agree with your conclusion, our ONLY viable chance to stop abortion is to first strip the Supreme Court of jurisdiction on abortion. You know, make it a state issue. Murder is a state issue and is decided by each state so it would make more sense and result in less government. It would allow more states and the people in those states to have laws that better reflect their views. Any law at the federal law would only exacerbate the underlying problem.
