Re: What Republicans Have done to stop Abortion

regardless of mistakes of the past (and as Baron points out, its been 20 years since the last one), in just 4 years, we could go from a 4-5 minority on abortion to a near bullet proof 8-2 majority...


I am reminded of an old sports analogy "LETS KEEP OUR EYES ON THE BALL PEOPLE!"

I'm just saying that if abortion is a very important issue, we need to know exactly what the promises and expectations are so that in four years we can evaluate it and not be on the same carousel.

One of the things we have done is a much better job of court appointees, which is why the liberals have done everything in their power to block them. Also we have been working on the back end, once Roe v. Wade goes down the states will have to pick it up and pass their own laws, many states already have the supports in place for such legislation.

Did you watch McCain during the Saddleback interview with Rick Warren?

If not, you need to see it. McCain answered that question in no uncertain terms. Alito-Roberts-Scalia mold. Abortion is wrong. "I am pro-life"

no caviats, no loopholes to extracate himself with.


If Stevens goes off and we get Ginsburg, it would be unpardonable.

They all know to say that.
If the courts do not overturn abortion after the next appointments, will you continue to allow the GOP to pander to you with this issue?

Do you beleieve that if the moral majority had flexed their muscles and voted and demanded action on every level, that the Senate would be governing from a pro-life position years ago?

the Senate? well, when the republicans controled the house and senate, they did pass legislation that was pro life. democrats have done their best to reverse that course. So no, I dont believe that this moral majority thing could have done more than what has been done.

As for your question, if Stevens/Kennedy/Ginsburg are replaced by a republican and turn out to not be Originalists, then I will be really upset.


but not so upset that i would vote for someone who will garentee another Ruth Bader Ginsburg gets put on the court.
