The most critical factor in effectively reducing the abortion rate is a thriving economy.
Trump's geopolitical isolationism, trade protectionism and anti-immigration policies
would have catastrophic economic consequences. As laudable as overturning Roe v Wade would be, it would be substantially less effective. Arguably, it continuesto be much less politically feasible than many seem to imagine, year after year, cycle after cycle (even SCOTUS appointment after SCOTUS appointment!). In short, the economic effects of Trump's policies would be considered highly probable by economists of every political stripe, while the 43 year old political strategy of overturning Roe remains somewhat dubious. Incremental legal strategies can still be effective, so this is to recommend a comprehensive strategy (political, legal & economic) over a narrow approach (e.g. trying to stack the SCOTUS). However, it's not to say that any given strategy (e.g. overturning Roe) should necessarily be abandoned. Many long-established GOP (and other) security experts have warned us about the substantial risks a Trump presidency would pose both to our national security and to global stability. Supercially, it might seem that Clinton's more militaristic approach would indeed be more likely to get us into a war on purpose, while Trump's reckless temperament would only get us into a war accidentally. Problem is that, while her war would be conventional, there's the haunting spectre that his could be thermonuclear. Don't get me wrong, the former seems much more likely an eventuality than the latter. Problem is, though, that the latter poses an existential threat, the type of risk most prudent persons aspire --- not to manage, but --- to eliminate. Stipulating, for argument's sake, that character analyses produce a draw, I would maintain that, in my strategic view regarding social, economic and foreign policy outcomes, HRC royally ushes The Donald. For those who choose to vote conservatively and more expressively, I commend Gary Johnson. For those who feel the need to vote strategically, I've seen no robustly compelling arguments, in my view, to vote for Trump, even though I admit there are some that are clearly defensible, intellectually, and sensible, morally. jss
