You offered: "Since Roe V Wade became law, we've had more Republican presidents than Dem ones, and Roe is still the law of the land. Abortion is also a topic that most Americans have way down on the list of what's of major importance." Do you not see a significant effect in having a Subpreme Court fiat ruling that legalizes the killing of alive unborn children at the simple request of the woman, and the reality that most Americans have lost the ability to comprehend the heinous nature and effects of abortion on demand? How will nominating and then electing a man who has already sold out to the horror as useful actually change directions of this nation?
It seems to me that the point of nopardons' post was that the election of more Republican presidents than Democrat presidents still hasn't moved the ball forward in the abortion struggle.
IOW, how much have presidents actually impacted the issue? Bush did much by making his two Supreme Court appointments. But even if Roe v. Wade were overturned (and I pray it will be), there will still be a huge mountain to climb to restrict abortion in state or federal law.
