VERY CONFUSED.
“If they’re protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, as the Republican platform asserts, they are protected on every square inch of American territory. Why can’t you understand this simple fact? Even “Justice” Blackmun, the author of Roe, understood this.”
The Republican platform changed under George Bush SENIOR.
George Bush SENIOR allowed for abortion in the situation of rape and incest. Why do you keep IGNORING THAT?
I really don't understand your “logic” ... which isn't logical to say the least ... .
If you really believe the 14th Amendment protects human life than WHY was the outcome of ROE/WADE to ALLOW abortion?
You get it coming and going. A persons’ THOUGHTS on this are fine but the LAW is that ABORTION IS LEGAL when it NEVER should have been made LEGAL. You need to also explain about why Bush SENIOR allowed for abortion in his platform. You have things all jumbled up and confused.
Find a good Republican website.
Read what core Republican ideology is.
Look up what a Republican platform and plank is.
Look up what George BUSH SENIOR did on abortion.
Look up Roe/Wade.
Look up what the 14th Amendment IS and WHAT it means.
Maybe you'll have answered your own questions.
I don't have time for you circular logic and changing subjects when you're being cornered as WRONG.
Would those of you whom I would describe as ‘purists’ prefer to elect (in this election cycle, in which there are now only two viable candidates):
(1) A President who will not necessarily seek to appoint judges who will outlaw abortion, and who wants judges who will allow the voters of each state to set their own abortion policy.
(2) A President who will appoint judges who will not allow the voters to decide to ban any type of abortion, including partial birth abortion – who voted NO on prohibiting minors to cross state lines for abortions, who voted NO on notifying parents of such abortions, and who voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.
To my mind, (2) represents a wickedness that is not definable or comprehensible.
The bottom line is that this election may prove to be the most watershed election in our history – stacking the Court with life-term judges who will determine the nature of the abortion issue for decades to come.
In spite of your fervent desire to support the innocent unborn, and your crusade to see to it that we have leadership that shares your passion in that regard, YOU ARE GOING TO GET ONE OR THE OTHER – (1) or (2). By refusing to support (1) your are ensuring (2), and by doing so you are most certainly not doing any favors for millions of future innocent murder victims. In fact, you are ensuring a dramatic increase in their numbers.
