Thanks for the satire.

I notice that you post quite often about Cruz so I would like to ask you about Cruz saying that Congress could pass a law giving 14th Amendment protections to fetuses and zygotes, which would bypass a constitutional amendment to overthrow Roe v. Wade.

Do you believe he is correct? Thanks

Trump will still be pro-life in the general election. He’ll just redefine “pro-life” to whatever suits him.

That might work.

As a consistent conservative, and kmowing the courts well, Cruz would be far superior.

The thing is, other than appoint SC judges, there’s really not much that a president can actually do about it. And, as the article points out, that’s hit or miss.

Personally, I believe that it’s up to US. WE have to take responsibility for the morality of this nation and stop trying to shove it onto our elected officials. We must work the issue - if it’s really that important to us.

All the big-name GOP candidates support legislation which codifies the killing of some babies. Example: there's a bill that says it's ok to kill babies as long as you do it before they reach 20 weeks of gestational age. Some of the candidates who support these types of bills also say that it is clear that these unborn children are indeed persons. So, these candidates are willing to support legislation that allows some persons to be deprived of their life without due process. That's a step in the wrong direction. We don't need new laws. We don't need to change the Constitution. We need to elect folks who will take their oath of office seriously and support the Constitution by refusing to defer to those who think it's ok to deprive persons of their lives without due process. There's one announced candidate for President (his handle is EternalVigilance here on FreeRepublic) who would follow the Constitution in this matter. Tom Hoefling is seeking the nomination of America's Party (nationally) and will be on the primary ballot in California for the American Independent Party. Tom understands that we need only elect executives who recognize that these littlest persons are persons, and who will act to secure their unalienable right to life.

All of good will are welcome to join in real town hall-style discussion about this and other matters on
Tuesday and Thursday night conference calls starting at 9pm ET --
America's Summit: Restore the Republic

Thank you for the information on Mr Hoefling. I would like to hear what he has to say.

You're very welcome. At the end of last night's conference call, I asked Tom to describe what he would do, as President, to support the Constitution's guarantee that no person shall be deprived of their life without due process. He said that the first thing he'd do upon taking office is to issue a Presidential Finding which recognizes that all human beings are persons from the earliest stage of their biological development, and pledge that employees of the executive branch would be expected to ensure that these persons are provided equal protection. The second thing he'd do is announce that every executive branch employee who could not fulfil their oath to support the Constitution, including in the personhood matter, would be expected to resign by the end of the day. He would then contact the Governors of all the states and tell them that if they don't shut down abortion in their state, the federal government soon will.

Tom mentioned that he's going to be interviewed on the Bob Enyart radio show today. That show airs starting at 5pm ET, and folks can listen live at http://kgov.com. This morning, I tweeted to the host @BobEnyart - Looking forward to interview of @TomHoefling today. Please ask him how he will, if elected, suppt Constitution re abortion
