Since the Nixon administration, this nation has murdered 48 million babies! How is that for hatred! It doesn't make me want to "moderate"!

It's fairly sad that a British person has to point this out to you, but there are several obstacles to overturning Roe vs. Wade. Firstly, the Supreme Court hasn't overturned it yet; note, it's the Supreme Court, not the President, who does that. Second, even if it is overturned, the Constitution is specific - the powers not enumerated in it are reserved for the states or the people, namely, it would come down to a state by state vote on the subject, unless, of course, you could get an anti-abortion amendment to the constitution.

Unless a Supreme Court justice dies, Rudy has no effect on the first item - he has already said he would appoint judges like Roberts and Alito. The second item, he has no effect on at all.

The President is not a King. But then again, strange a British person has to remind you of that...but obviously the spleen is not an organ for thinking.

And whomever you support is NOT going to put an end to that.
