Well, I’m not using it as a wedge. I prefer candidates who support the HLA (as Reagan did) and Marriage Amendments, even if the HLA will be long time coming.
While a president does not have a magic wand that can stop all abortions overnight, certainly having someone in the Oval Office who will use the bully pulpit to further the cause is preferable to someone who will not (same goes for the Federal Marriage Amendment too).
