I am not at all incapable of addressing or understanding your argument. You make the false assumption that your argument is the only relevant one, and that I should somehow cower before it.

You also make the false assumption that you somehow think like Reagan. All you know is what history reports. You have no way of knowing what he actually felt or actually believed or what his actual motives were. You wish to be on the same page with what you think was Reagan to justify your support of abortion.

I find your argument to be outdated and cowardly. You may be able to justify your support of abortion by using carefully turned words put in a just-so exact order, but you are still accomplishing only one thing...

You are justifying murder of innocent humans.

But you do correctly recognize that you have gotten no where with me, and likewise, I recognize, that you seem to close your mind to truth— absolute truth, not man-crafted truth to suit a purpose.

I am comforted in the knowledge that you are indeed wrong. And one day you will know it for certain.

Regarding the Office of the President, I expect from that branch of government, the same thing that I expect from all branches, and that is that they all recognize the importance of our founding documents and the rational government which was created on the basis of a clear understanding of what Natural Law means to a truly civil and modern society.

We have become a well-trained, entertained, mildly-literate nation of barbarians, simply because we have abandoned those original thoughts.

“Despite the formidable obstacles before us, we must not lose heart. This is not the first time our country has been divided by a Supreme Court decision that denied the value of certain human lives. The “Dred Scott” decision of 1857 was not overturned in a day, or a year, or even a decade. At first, only a minority of Americans recognized and deplored the moral crisis brought about by denying the full humanity of our black brothers and sisters; but that minority persisted in their vision and finally prevailed. They did it by appealing to the hearts and minds of their countrymen, to the truth of human dignity under God. From their example, we know that respect for the sacred value of human life is too deeply ingrained in the hearts of our people to remain suppressed.” Ronald Reagan

One need not have to be a mindreader (although you have certainly attempted your best Karnak impression on me) to know why Reagan didn't outlaw abortion during his eight years in office. He didn't “need to get his mind right”. It wasn't a matter of what was in his mind - but what was the power of the office he was elected to.

Our founders made for us a Constitutional government of limited and defined powers - they did not give the President an unlimited mandate to do whatever they felt was in accord with natural law. We elect a President not a Priest-King.

I know that is disappointing to fanatics. Sorry.
