Keep whining, maybe McCain will get it into his thick skull that there is absolutely NO reason to have A pro-choice veep.....none at all, and one HUGE reason to have a pro-life veep, even if the veep has no influence on the abortion issue.....and that reason is.....:ABORTION IS MURDER!
Also the author’s premise is wrong, you can’t convince people that abortion is wrong as long as it is legal. Legislation IS the answer, and the ONLY answer.
There lies the rub...NO abortion legislation; local state or federal; in light of Roe v Wade will be upheld in court as long as the SCOTUS is in the hands of mushy justices as it is now. Unless there is a Constitutional amendment or unless the courts come to their senses (fat chance of that) abortion rights will remain the law of the land. I agree with your sentiment but the author has a point that 2 seats on the SCOTUS are key and the last time I looked the VP has no say in that choice.
To me the choice of a pro life candidate speaks to the heart of conservatism. I spit of the legalities, th issue speaks to our very cores views of basic decency. We value life and the right to life. And we abhor those who would tread on such rights for the sake of expediency. We would like if McCain would be true to our value and to his by picking a VP who values life as much as his mother did.
He hasn’t announced his choice yet, and if he chooses a pro-life veep, than all this worry is for nothing.
I think that some of the pro-abort names who have been paraded have been a ruse to play the press, not serious possibilities.
