I accept abortion is an issue. Most have opinions on it which at times may
be hard to convey due to underlying emotions etc. However, I am always
amazed at the importance of the issue in the US. Is there a reason for this?
I know it is a separate issue, but I get the general impression that the
political pro-life supporters in the US are also pro death penalty in
general - is this wrong?

In the UK, no party has a policy with regard to it. Instead, each individual
MP is allowed to vote as s/he wishes – “issue of conscience”. I am sure that
in the UK virtually nobody makes a voting decision based on this issue.
