Why wont he just be honest?... I dont know. And frankly, I dont really care. Besides, what difference does it make anyway? They need to die either way. Well, up until that final foolish sentence, your answer was perfectly correct and proper for a Presidential candidate (although probably phrased poorly). The President does not make legislation, the President does not interpret the Constitution, the President does not reverse earlier SCOTUS decisions, the President does not determine whether a state law ought to come under federal jurisdiction... and a President SHOULDN'T use litmus tests (other than jurisprudential competence and insightful decision-writing) to nominate Supreme Court justices (the one area where they MIGHT have some influence on the abortion debate). Of all the federal-level positions, the office of the President of the United States is the one where the abortion question is the least important. Our MSM just uses it as a way to damage presidential candidates, especially GOP candidates.

Are you kidding me? People are being murdered by the millions in this country under the protection of "law". The people of this "self-governing" nation have been precluded from ending this massacre. And you would balk at formalities of government conspicuously and with regularity ignored?
The office of President is charged with upholding the Constitution. And this man tells us he doesn't even know who warrants its protections??
Above his pay grade? The question of whose life merits protection is in the "pay grade" of every rational human being.
There is a law above the murderous Court: the Constitution. And there is a law above it: the Declaration. And there is a law above that: the natural law written by the Creator.
Don't tell me the president has no power he can wield in an effort to turn this nation back to that "natural affection" which shudders and is outraged at the butchery of its young. His duty is to execute the laws of this nation - of which the Declaration is the first.
If he's not man enough to do so, if he's so much a coward as to not only build his political career on the dismembered corpses of innocent babies, but then try to weasel his way out of admitting it...well, what more can you say about such a person?
