Sometimes....
Since I won't vote for a pro-abortion candidate, I DO look to several online resources and organizations (including state pro-life ones) so that I know where candidates stand on this issue. This usually impacts only the primaries (voting among Republicans) since in my state, all Democrats are passionately in favor of the killing of over 60,000 innocent, defenseless children each year in California - it's practically a Sacrament for Democrats. But there are Republicans here who support this mass killing, too and those Republicans usually hide that view from voters in the primaries.
