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.
I'm just confused as to the lack of response when McCain can outright say that how someone would vote on Roe v. Wade will not influence his decision to appoint him or her. We either care about 40 million murders or we don't. I know that we can debate the benefits of overturning Roe v. Wade and whether it will help anything...but what is not debatable is what the majority of McCains supporters strongly feel should happen. I am also of the opinion that if Obama or any other liberal promised to do something that was contrary to what the vast majority of their constituents passionately felt to the same extent that the right feels about abortion, the fallout would be immediate and fatal. We have placed ourselves in a bad position.
