Agreed. I’m pro-life too, but even if we did have a Human Life Amendment, the Feds would screw it up just like everything else. Get aggressively anti-abortion laws passed at the states. It’s the only thing that works.

I do see your point. I tend to be more libertarian in my views although I am conservative socially on a personal level, I just think that government getting involved in many things like these screw it up royally. I guess I'd be a "Barry Goldwater type," minus Planned Parenthood, in short, the latter must sink or swim on it's own, they deserve no government funds at all.

I think as well where in many pockets, I know I'll get flak for this, but it isn't 1955 or even 1980 anymore. I'm afraid running on social issues is weak at best and a loser at worst, we need to focus more on "government out of your life" and fiscal issues. Yes, it would be cool to have a presidential candidate who is socially conservative, I lean that way myself but we must remember, we are electing a President, not the Pope, not to be a national Ward Cleaver or the Nanny. Leave these matters like same sex marriage to the State and so on. We must realise that we might not always get what we want on a State by State basis but that is the way our system is set up.
