Would Donald Trump Be a Pro-Abortion President?

I’ve had that reality for decades.

Although, there were a couple of hick-ups.

Dang, ain’t thought about the differences, in a long time.

[roamer_1]

Make a list of “absolute” issues

Got that. It's called Principled Conservatism... Odd that people on this forum don't know that.

[EternalVigilance]

The chances that abortion on demand would do anything but continue unabated under Trump are zero. His stated positions guarantee it.

Which means that by the end of one term, another 6 million or more innocent children will be slaughtered in this country. As many as there were Jews killed in the Nazi holocaust.

People just aren’t thinking these things through, at all.

Because they don’t want to.

[RedHeeler]

Who is your primary choice?

[EternalVigilance]

None of them. The stated positions of the whole bunch guarantee the continuation of abortion on demand, because they are regulationists, not abolitionists. Every single one of them surrenders the only moral, constitutional, and legal principles that argue against abortion, right up front.

[EternalVigilance]

Equal protection under the law for the supreme individual, God-given, unalienable right is not negotiable.

[RedHeeler]

Well, have you ever stopped the murder of innocents?

[RedHeeler]

I fully agree.

[EternalVigilance]

No. But at least I’ve stopped supporting the immoral, unconstitutional, failed strategy that allows the killing to continue.

[RedHeeler]

How?

[EternalVigilance]

Those who violate equal protection for the supreme right no longer get my support or vote.

And the entire GOP field supports legislation that is called “pro-life,” but surrenders equal protection, thereby guaranteeing the continuation of abortion on demand.

So, they’re just going to have to get by without me, and the folks I associate with.

[RedHeeler]

EV, I’ve reading you for awhile.

I will stand anywhere, at anytime with you, to stop these murders.

Please tell me how, you have uninvolved yourself.

[EternalVigilance]

It’s very late here. I have to hit the sack. But I’ll be happy to answer any other questions you have on the subject tomorrow.

Good night.

[RedHeeler]

Take care.

[EternalVigilance]

I’m working to build an alternative to the corrupt, unprincipled, failed formerly grand old party. Been at that task for quite some time, and our efforts are beginning to bear some good fruit.

Good night.

-— Although I hope for the best (President Cruz), I’m resigned to the worst (trump wins the election) and the subsequent death of the Republic. -—

We still have a long way to go in the primary. Super Tuesday will tell us a lot more than NH and SC. But yes, if Trump wins the primary, things don’t look good for the Republic.

The more I learn about him the worse he looks. He’s dropped from my #2 to #7, below Carson, Rubio, Santorum, Fiorina and Huck.

[MarDav]

Yes, but wasn’t the place known as Camelot ( 8 > }

[sitetest]

He’s dropped to my #7,000,000,000.

The fact that Trump supporters will get what they deserve is no consolation.

Conservatives better wake up quick.

You would be surprised. When I was a child, I was walking past a Congregationalist Church on my way home from Catholic parochial school when, the doors being wide open, curiosity got the best of me and I looked inside. The church building was immaculate, very old but in perfect condition. OTOH, no stained glass windows. No statues. No altar. Just gleaming pews and a pulpit. I remembered myself and was immediately concerned that God might strike me dead for even looking into a non-Catholic church. He didn't. We have come a long way since then. So have the Congregationalists since that particular church now has a lesbian "married" couple as its "ministers." They are sooooooo inclusive!!!!! I am soooooo nauseous. If New England is dumped into the Atlantic Ocean by an earthquake, that will be the late great Rev. Mr. Jonathan Edwards rolling over in his grave at supersonic speed. In fairness, I am also no fan of predators in the priesthood or their enablers.

Serious Christians of whatever denomination are my brothers and sisters in Christ. Really bad "Catholics" are not. For my daily penance and to keep up with the mischief of bad Catholics, I read the National "Catholic" Reporter but I can assure you and everyone else that such festering heresies as are loved there are not reflective of the actual Catholic Church. As the late Archbishop Fulton Sheen used to say: If I believed all of the anti-Catholic stuff out there, I would not be a Catholic either.

Some of my fellow Catholics seem to believe that only Catholics in communion with the Holy See can reach heaven. This is attributed to the Biblical passage: Extra Ecclesiam, Nulla Salus or Outside the Church, there is no salvation. I am no theologian but to read into that the notion that only Catholics go to heaven is simply counterintuitive to this Catholic. My Savior and yours knew that His sheep would be divided into numerous flocks and He loves each and every sheep far more than we can love ourselves.

I have always regarded that narrow interpretation as nonsense since many of the very best Christians I have known (and represented in the pro-life movement) have been very non-Catholic Christians. Heaven would be a lonelier place without them. Very often, we grow up to believe as our families have believed (at least in my now aged generation) and I find it difficult to believe that any of us will be eternally punished for that.

God bless you and yours!
