Agreed. Abortion is settled law, it is here to stay. Even if Rowe v. Wade were overturned tomorrow, which will never happen, it would go to the states to decide and virtually all of them would allow it. Anti-gay marriage, again, the voters have spoken and the courts have where the voters haven't. It will be a state law matter just like abortion so forget about it. Hate it, despise it but realize no politician has any effect upon it.

Look at competence and leadership and nothing more. G is honest and may be the world's worst husband but too bad.

Abortion is here to stay so get over it and move on to important issues like the survival of western civilization.

Wise words there; and yet here we have a whole group of people on this web site with one agenda -- stopping abortion -- and their answer is to turn power over to the very people who will GUARANTEE that there is abortion on demand for the foreseeable future.

I just don't get it.

Unbelievable is the self-contradiction within that statement. The unanesthetized slaughter of 49,000,000 innocent Americans is something you can just live with, be comfortable with? You're okay that over four thousand little people, on average, are going be dismembered for the crime of merely existing? And you see ZERO connection between the massive-scale execution of our future generations and our future survival? I would suggest you re-read your statement and look at the irony.

As far as I am concerned, there IS no other issue to address until we end abortion. A society that no longer cares about something this brutal and this unjust on this scale is a society not worth saving IMO.

Consistently - incl. after the latest election - polls show 52%-54% of Americans oppose most abortion - and present policy does NOT reflect the will of the people. So while my views are quite strong on this, I believe I speak to some degree for a great many on this point.

The legal and wanton killing of innocent human life is no more "settled law" than was the legal ownership of slaves 150 years ago.
