No, no, and no! This discussion is **NOT** a waste of time!
My point is not that we ought to vote for Obama or for a third-party candidate. My point is that anyone voting for Romney needs to do so with eyes wide open and understand that we have to somehow figure out a way to keep his obviously problematic views under control.
I'd say the same about Romney's waffling on gun control and homosexuality, though both are lower priorities to me than killing babies. That is as bad as it can get.
The economy is important, but killing defenseless babies is much worse. Prior to the 1960s, virtually everyone in the United States would have agreed, including Democrats. The fact that some conservatives today think the economy takes priority over people who wants to dissolve babies with chemical burns or hack them into tiny pieces just shows us how far America has fallen.
Ronald Reagan found out what happened in California when anything other than “life of the mother” was allowed as a ground for abortion.
I recognize that Mitt Romney, unlike traditional Roman Catholics or evangelical Protestants, has a different religious view of when abortion is allowed. I can respect that.
But if he wants votes from conservatives who are evangelical or Catholic, he'd better tell us what kind of judges he will appoint. Unfortunately, I'm afraid he just did.
