Cool.

People can be pro-whatever they want whenever they want. And they are also free to change their minds.

As I told you previously, it doesn’t matter what anyone thinks about it. The issue was decided for us. The SCOTUS effectively made us all pro-choice, and the representatives that we elected as recently as a year ago are making us all pay for it.

I really don’t think anyone who is going to vote for Trump is going to do that because they expect him to ban abortion and gay marriage.

I don’t think your Tim Russert video is going to matter a hill of beans.

The question is will Ted Cruz’s insult to a large number of people who live in many places, including New York, hurt him?

My guess is that it will.

Time will tell.

I'm really not in this discussion but your insistence that "the Supreme Court decided it for us.....making us all pro-choice...." shows just how much our schools fail to teach, especially American History, especially civics.

African-American slaves and freedmen, were once held to a "settled (7 to 2 Supreme Court) case law and thus the law of the land, according to your definition, called Dred Scott v. Stanford.

Dred Scott was a slave owned by a man who moved him from a slave state to a free state. Dred, trying first to purchase freedom for both himself and his family, ultimately sued his owner for his freedom, claiming that living in a non-slave state, made him a free man, Seven Supreme Court justices voted against Dred Scott, including the Chief Justice himself, determining that African-Americans, whether slave or free didn't have citizenship, so had no standing in court to sue!

In your mind and unfortunately in the minds of many ill-educated Americans today, this almost landslide decision (unlike the lopsided 5 to 4 homosexual and Roe v. Wade decisions) law would be settled law forever!

Not so for many Christian abolitionists and fair-minded Americans.

Dred Scott v. Stanford was decidedly overturned but not until American fought a Civil War.

My advice to you sir or madam, before you start thinking that any decision no matter how decisively determined, is "the law of the land or settled law" and must accepted by everyone, especially laws that not only go against humanity and against God's laws and have been honored since the beginning of time, will not be overturned, don't believe it!
