>>I have not said that. I've been saying you can't disbelieve ALL of the women and ALL witnesses in favor of the ONE suspect with a bad history. This is why common sense exists.

When others say they believe in due process, you berate them for not believing ALL the women. Repeatedly.

>>Missing an important detail in that...Jones said he supports laws that allow abortions after 20 weeks or so of gestation, (late-term abortions), to protect a mother's life or health.

That's not what he said. Even the anti-abortion Catholic church supports abortion to save the mother's life, so it's simply not in contention. What I read, is Jones saying that he believes that nothing should come between a woman and her "my body, my right" wrt abortion. Saving her life may be thrown up as a shield of sanctimony when called on it, but that's not what I read or what Alabamans believe of him.

>>...so assuming the voter actually knows the facts and is still against it (some are against abortion under all circumstances) - then I can see that swaying a vote - there are plenty of people which are single-issue-voters - they would vote for the devil himself if he was anti-abortion and the contender was not. But one might want to think about the people that are already born when voting too.

That's entirely up to the good people of Alabama.

>>..except in Alabama in 2017 a shocking large number people don't seem to take issue with it. There have been plenty of recent surveys regarding this

I think you're referring to marriage rather than age of consent? With parental approval you could legally marry at age 14 in Alabama until 2003 when it changed to age 16. By US standards, that's pretty good if you check it out. Meanwhile in parts of New Zealand where the age of consent also is 16, 12-year-old girls having their first baby is common enough that it goes without comment.
"... They ne'er cared for us
yet: suffer us to famish, and their store-houses
crammed with grain; make edicts for usury, to
support usurers; repeal daily any wholesome act
established against the rich, and provide more
piercing statutes daily, to chain up and restrain
the poor. If the wars eat us not up, they will; and
there's all the love they bear us.
"
-- Shakespeare: Coriolanus, Act 1, scene 1
