I'd gladly, enthusiastically go for a "garden variety" Protestant, Evangelical, Fundamentalist, Methodist, Mormon or Martian if they understand the fundamental nature of the right to life.

It's not that that's the "single" issue or the "only" issue, it's that it's the fundamental issue. The basis for all the others.

If you don't even know that every human being is endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, you literally have no foundation on which to build or defend a Constitution.

Give me a candidate from whatever faith community who has a strong grasp on the basics, and I will come out for them with a bass drum, a megaphone, and an 8-column headline in All-caps.

Power to the Protestant Prolifers!

While I agree completely with you, My concern is that the current confirmation process goes successfully to conclusion. It would be a simple matter if ALL of the Republican Senators shared our views on the right to life. Unfortunately. they do not! And separately, it calls to question just what are the “core values” of the GOP today? And why do we allow those who do not subscribe to ALl OF THEM, get to claim membership? But the cold hard fact of the matter is that there are far too many “republicans” today who do not understand or adhere to what I always thought were incontrovertible core beliefs. But that is where we are today, sad as it is. So, some short-term pragmatism is in order in my view. Because if we make this nomination solely on Roe v. Wade, we may end up with craps. If we are able to weather the mid terms, and add some former RAT seats to the Senate, finding Ruthie’s and the other old a$$hole’s replacements becomes a better place where we can make sure we have right to life adherents and Murky and Collins won’t have a deciding no vote. FWIW.
And I might add that for me a perfect SCOTUS is one where the only Leftists left, will be the Fat Yenta, Kagan. And approaching 78, I want to live to see that view become a reality.
