Why is abortion something politicians talk about?  

I don't understand why views are even discussed if the one person who is (maybe?) against it has come out saying he won't change the law. Doesn't that make it a null issue then?  Please explain, like I'm five.

Abortion is very polarising and emotional to many people whether or not it directly affects them (abortion doctors have been shot by protesters in the past as an example). So much so that it is likely that this and similar issues allow politicians to instantly gain some peoples loud support by stating their stance on the issue regardless of any other policies.
