So is Hunter Duncan going to come out and promise that if elected he will end abortion? How about Fred Thompson, will he come out and promise to end abortion if elected?

I thought I asked you not to post to me anymore.

However, the answer is that no president has the power in and of himself to end an abortion. Only two methods would be available to end abortion:
1. A pro-life Amendment to the Constitution. This would take a large pro-life majority in Congress and is probably a long shot.
2. The Supreme Court would need to overturn Roe v. Wade. To do this, we need as many pro-life justices as possible AND the right case to rule on. Right now, we probably have four and Anthony Kennedy MIGHT vote to overturn on the RIGHT case.

But, let me ask you this. Why should we expect ANY PRESIDENT to knowingly appoint any judge who has views that are totally opposite of his own? And if we're honest, the answer is that we can't. Therefore, if we want to have any chance of Roe v. Wade being overturned, we need a president who is pro-life and Hunter and Thompson both are.
