That's pretty much what I will do if Rudy is nominated. I promised myself long ago that I would never, ever, under any circumstances vote for a candidate with a character so despicable and lacking in basic humanity that he or she would approve and support the abomination known as partial birth abortion.
Some on this forum try to tell us that a president has no role to play in either overturning Roe v Wade or confirming it's validity. That is simply not true. While it may be true that a pro-life president has only the power to appoint pro-life judicial nominees, he or she also has the "bully pulpit" to campaign against such outrages as legalized abortion and homosexual "marriage". If GHW Bush had not been there to appoint Justice Thomas, and if his son had not been there to appoint Chief Justice Roberts and Justice Alito, today there would not be even a glimmer of hope that the USSC will someday reverse Roe v Wade and allow the states to enact laws concerning abortion either pro or con.
The court must now decide regarding the partial birth abortion ban. The facts of that grisly procedure are, one second a baby in the birthing process is legally a fetus and therefore fair game for an abortionist to kill by stabbing it in the back of it's head and vacuuming out it's brains. A few more seconds and an inch or two of movement and the fetus would legally have been a live human child with all the rights that any other American has, and killing him or her would have been murder. Can someone please explain how that outrageous travesty makes anything even remotely akin to common sense? Abortion at any stage of human life is a crime against the laws of God and nature, and has been recognized as such for thousands of years by Christians and Jews alike.
Hitler only managed to slaughter 6 million Jews and other "undesirables", but America's abortionists and the judges and politicians who enable them have so far slaughtered almost 8 times that many unborn and partially born baby humans since 1973. If politicians such as Rudy and Justices such as the 5 pro-abortion USSC Justices now on the court have their way, the death count will continue to rise until I believe the God of heaven and earth will have had enough and brings the USA down to the place where nazi Germany was in the summer of 1945. IOW, defeated and in ruins with it's people in despair and disbelief that it could all have happened so fast.
I agree. But Rudy has far more problems with the voters than just one issue. His views on abortion, queers, and guns is a hill no Republican can climb in the Red states that elect Republicans.
Deuteronomy 12:31: You must not worship the LORD your God in their way, because in worshiping their gods, they do all kinds of detestable things the LORD hates. They even burn their sons and daughters in the fire as sacrifices to their gods.
I agree with you, epow. How is our modern, abortion-loving society any better than the Israelites who were condemned for child sacrifice in the Old Testament? You know, we aren't going to escape punishment forever. Our's is LONG overdue IMHO.
As for Rudy, I will never vote for anyone who supports the abomination known as abortion. For me, that's just the way it is, and I bet a large percentage of other conservatives feel the same. If he can't get that fundamental issue right, I really don't care what else he believes in.
