Let's say Barack Obama wins the 2012 Democratic Presidential nomination. Soon after accepting the nomination, Michelle Obama has to reveal that she has gotten pregnant and has just had an abortion (Yes, she may or may not still be fertile, but just assume she still is for this scenario). How would this change the race?

Yes, this is a parody thread, but I think it's still mildly interesting. Would the GOP win 535-3, or could we possibly toss in Vermont and/or Massachusetts?

Obama still wins, as Obama and his wife support abortion and thus are not seen as hypocrites by most voters. Also, the economy is recovering and that helps Obama a lot.

I don't think she'd abort.
