Abortion and contraception have been with us since pre-history.

Thinking logically, just what is a president going to do about abortion? Do you think he could pack the Supreme Court? Then, the issue still has to come up to the court -- they cannot just make a ruling on how they fee.. Plus, the Supremes are very resistant to overturning a precedent a mere 35 years old.

Who could be for abortion? Who could be for people being executed? Under our constitutional system, both are allowed. It don't matter who the president is, those facts will remain true.

Which is why I don't know why this push-botton issue remains in the news down to the city aldermanic level. Abortion is not birth control but it is a right guaranteed to women under our constitution. So folks really ought to move on.

Does it matter? God said pretty clear you touch my children and you pay.

I'll tell you when you tell me why so many white evangelical Christians support a candidate who is all for war and conquest.

Honestly I am burnt out on teh abortion issue myself. It is like banging your head against a wall. However, I think regarding your highlighted statement above, abortion has become a form of birth control and that is one of the scariest things about it.

Number of abortions per year: 1.37 Million (1996)
Number of abortions per day: Approximately 3,700

Why women have abortions
1% of all abortions occur because of rape or incest; 6% of abortions occur because of potential health problems regarding either the mother or child, and 93% of all abortions occur for social reasons (i.e. the child is unwanted or inconvenient).

There are a lot of statistics and a video that you may not be able to stomach at ....

Which is something you obviously don't understand....making a statement you don't understand has a real clear definition.

Wow, why would blacks follow him when his wife kicks out poor blacks from even getting looked at in her emergency room.
Her hospital denies care for blacks who do not have insurance and or government cards.
And they think they care for them, not so.
