Agreed, but we on this website should also be taking a hard look at our presidential candidates right now. The so-called "Republican Establishment" has been afraid of getting into this issue because they believe it might scare away some women voters.
They are probably right, but for the first time in a generation more Americans describe themselves as pro-life than pro-choice. Meanwhile, four Supreme Court justices are over 70 years of age, including 3 appointed by Republicans.
To me, immigration is extremely important, but it is not the key issue to this election. That would be ensuring that Hillary Clinton does not have the chance to stock the court for the next 20-30 years. Luckily, all of the Republican frontrunners, with the asterisk exception of Ben Carson, can beat her.
However, it is clear that some of the candidates are more committed to the pro-life cause than others, and I would prefer to have all of them on the record on this issue before any ballots are cast.
When I think back over the past 10 years, a lot of things have come to pass that we on FR thought could never happen. It is certainly in the realm of possibility that we could see a country that guarantees the right of every woman to abort her baby at any time, right up to delivery (or later), and for any reason. If that happens, I for one will not be consoled by the possibility that "At least there are fewer Mexicans living in this country than there were four years ago."
Granny’s got the coveted murderer endorsement locked up; that’s it. Trump might as well fold up and make room for Yeb right now; he’s the nation’s only hope.
