Geez. What makes anyone on the Right think Miers is pro-choice? You'd think W nominated Hillary for the SCOTUS! Take a breath. Or a pill.
one can only hope.....
The time has come for pro-life and pro-family groups to hold this administration to a higher standard, instead of assuming a cheerleader position that keeps their backs to the action.
And I voted Constitution Party.
The only evidence we have is that she once said she was pro-life in an interview, and she argued that the ABA board should not go on record as supporting abortion until it had polled the membership. We also have the inferential evidence that she belongs to an Evangelical Church.
That's not enough to be certain by any means. What we need, at a minimum, is someone willing to overturn Roe v. Wade. That was tried, once, and instead we got the Casey decision, which contains some of the most rebarbative language ever issued by SCOTUS.
For all we know, maybe she's "personally opposed, but."
So, what did you gain by that vote?
Souter in drag
I don't vote to "gain" anything. I vote according to biblical and constitutional principles - in that order. Voting to gain something or for some future result or to avoid a future result - is called pragmatism. Pragmatism is not a Christian methodology.
Well I vote to gain something. I want to get the person elected who most represents the actions I want taken.
Hey, you could just vote for yourself and feel really good.
It's not about feeling good. There are real practical consequences for not voting to preserve our moral principles. If there is a transcendant moral authority over our nation -- which our founders clearly believed in, to whom our founders attributed unalienable rights such as the right to life -- then we will surely GAIN by honoring the moral laws of that lawgiver, but we will surely LOSE and will not survive as a Republic if we don't.
I don't know what "GAIN" you voted for, but there is no greater good or gain than to honor the God who established this Repbulic.
Dignity and self-respect, both of which I lost some of by letting down my guard and voting for a back-stabbing liar.
What does it matter if she is pro choice or pro life? We don't want an activist judge. We want an originalist.
Those fixated on overturning Roe really miss the big picture. I don't think any jurisdiction in the USA would outlaw 1st trimester abortions outright, after Roe is overturned. Overturning Roe doesn't make abortion illegal.
Those fixated on the supreme court declaring abortion itself is unconstitutional and illegal just want their own brand of activist. Why not consider sending a donation to the Taliban - that's more their speed.
Gosh is ol' Stephen Peroutka a brother or something to that 3rd party candidate for President Michael Pereoutka who abandoned his step children to the State of Maryland. Tlak about family values
The lesser of two evils is...Evil.
Read the thread....I didn't vote Republican, so they can thank me for nothing.
Second, being from Texas as you are (I live in Texas also), you should no better than to support a big more-power-to-the-central government party such as the GOP has become lately. Did you learn nothing from Texas' history in the Civil War?
Comparing pro-Life/anti-murder Christians to the Taliban is a belief and tactic of the fanatical left.
Whatever you are, you care nothing for the Constitution.
