ORIGINAL: Lizahana I will only say this one more time - since, as expected you did not post all of my post: I really don't think it matters whom you vote for on a presidential level when it comes to abortion. Republicans, the supposed champions of the pro-life movement: 1) have members that are more pro-choice than some of the Democrats, 2) Republicans have appointed the majority of the SCJ in the last 3 decades and STILL RVW has not been overturned - in fact the highly lauded (by conservatives) SCJ was appointed by Reagan, had the deciding vote to overturn RVW in 92 in Casey v PP, and he did not; 3) Republicans had control of both the executive and legislative branches from 2000-2006 to do what Ron Paul is trying to do right now with HR 2597 (sanctity of life) and they did NOT do anything congressionally to return jurisdiction back to the states on the matter of sanctity of life; something that should be done by the reigning princes of the pro-life movement since going through the judicial arm is PLAINLY NOT working. Do you understand what I am saying here? I do not believe that it makes a difference whom you vote for at a presidential level especially since McCain STILL has not promise he'd use an anti-abortion litmus test on SCJ nominees. And, John, I consider the war in Iraq wrong - that 4,000+ of our best and brightest are dead and 84,000-91,000 civilians are dead - Obama wants us out right away and McCain does not. You know, as an independent voter, I said I was leaning towards Obama. Your posts only reenforced this. The above doesn't answer the following... Ok... Do you have any support for one to support things the bible cleary calls evil.... That being murder and homosexuality... How does a Christian evade sinning by supporting what is sinful with clear forethought? Btw... Can't blame me for your vote... John Well, yes, John, the above does answer that question. McCain has NOT promised he'd use an anti-abortion litmus test on SCJ nominees; so there is absolutely no promise of RVW being overturned while he is in office. In fact, even when conservative justices like SCJ Kennedy was appointed, he had the deciding vote to overturn RVW in 1992, and did NOT. In fact the majority of the SCJ were appointed by Republican presidents in the last 3 decades; and has RVW been overturned? NO. What makes you think that I am going to waste my vote on the only issue that I agree with Republicans on - that of being pro-life (in the same way GWB considers himself pro-life: that it should be legal ONLY in cases of rape, incest or when the mother's life is endangerd) - when the Republicans as presidents, do not appoint SCJ that overturn RVW through the judicial arm; when McCain has not promised he'd use an anti-abortion litmus test on SCJ? How would this be different than a Democrat president on the matter of oveturning RVW? Which, by the way, would NOT eliminate abortions - just so you know... Peace and God bless,
