Abortion Will Remain Legal for Generations
 
Unless a miracle takes place, BO will be able to nominate probably at least 2 Supreme Court Justices during his presidency. This will insure that Roe v. Wade will remain protected by law for generations. If young enough the liberal justices he nominates will be able to serve 20-30 years. John Paul Stevens, a very liberal justice and the oldest will retire soon I am sure. Ruth Bader Ginsburg another liberal is the next eldest and may also retire during BO's presidency.

It's a sad day for abortion foes. How so many Americans and Christians can cloe their eyes to the 70 million babies slaughtered over the past 26 years is perplexing. Its so engrained into our culture we act as though it is no big deal.

We had a chance to finally get a conservative majority and we lost it with the election of BO. My only hope is he nominates someone he thinks is liberal and pro abortion only to find out they are not. It has happened to several GOP presidents only vice versa.

If I believed that changing the law would change anything in regard to abortion, it'd bother me more. Since I don't think it will, it really doesn't bother me. The law is the wrong side of this stack to start digging on.

Changing the law, if nothing else, removes the blessings of our contry from the destruction of millions of innocent children.

Outlawing murder doesn't stop murder either, but can you imagine if we tossed laws against murder because people will murder anyway?

It changes a lot. For instance no one would be taking children from a public school where they can't be given an asprine but can be given an abortion without the parents consent.

If it were left up to the states, which is all the SC can do at this point, some states would outlaw it others would celebrate it. Abortion isn't going away but making it difficult to get, reducing the number of people willing to go to jail for performing them, and allowing states to make their own laws would go a long way.

Unfortunately, I think the legality of abortion in the U.S. has passed the point of no return. As they say, "you can't put the toothpaste back into the tube".

This is over. Abortion has gotten so entrenched into the fabric of American society that I can't see it ever being outlawed again.

Abortion will remain legal until Jesus comes.

But as for these abortion doctors, I'd hate to be in their shoes on Judgment Day. Their judgment might seem to be slow in coming, but it's coming.

Exactly.

I am confused as to where this comes from. We recognize that despite all the talk, the GOP has been appointing Justices that upheld Roe v. Wade. I've heard every justification in the book for this. We then get a candidate who is more liberal than the average GOP candidate. When directly asked about Roe v. Wade, he says in plain English that he does not feel compelled to appoint Justices who would overturn it. He said that it would not be a factor....yet we still somehow cling to this notion that if we keep voting Republican, it will magically change.
I heard a Republican governor say something yesterday that I've been saying for a while. He said the problem is that the GOP talks one way and governs another. The only way that is ever going to change is when people take the blinders off and hold them accountable for what they actually do and not what we desperately hope and pray they do.

TS, I'm just confused about this as well. The black community has been voting Dem since I've been alive.

Stew I know voting for a Repulican doesn't guarantee an overturning of R v. W, but the chances of Obama nominating Clarence Thomas, Alito, Roberts, Scalia type justices is nearly guaranteed not to happen. The SC has not been able to overturn R v. W b/c some of the justices appointed by GOP Presidents have proven to be less conservative than originally thought. ALL of the recent Democrat appointees are solidly in favor of abortion.

If I can get 70 percent chance of a conservative justice who will help overturn R v W I'll take it over a ZERO chance.
