“... the only thing the president can do about abortion is to nominate Supreme Court Justices who might overturn Roe.” Um, do you really believe that, or are you just tossing out smoke and mirrors? The current bastard in the White House is working his commie fanny off to promote taxpayer funding for abortions through his ‘healthcare’ bill, and his strongarming states like IL for defunding his friends at Planned Barrenhood. For a poster who chose ‘truthguy’ as his/her handle, your poor discenment of the facts is amazing!

Yes, a president can refrain from endorsing abortion or committing tax payer dollars for abortion. But a president cannot repeal ROE. That was what I was driving at. Roe is law until such time a Supreme Court overturns it or we have a Constitutional amendment abolishing abortion. So I was correct that their isn't much a sitting president can do to stop abortion. Yes, a president can refrain from promoting it. Can you understand the distinction?
