Abraham Lincoln recognized that we could not survive as a free land when some men could decide that others were not fit to be free and should therefore be slaves. Likewise, we cannot survive as a free nation when some men decide that others are not fit to live and should be abandoned to abortion or infanticide. My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning.
Never forget.
Good. Now let's hope and pray that President Bush will be able to get some good conservative judges on the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
Never forget.
Contrast that to the "we should change the hearts and minds" claptrap from Bush. Reagan's position on Roe v Wade was absolutely clear. What is Bush's position on Roe v Wade?
I believe he wants to...I have hope and faith in God that it will happen.
Amen.
I pray Bush will accomplish in his second term what millions have prayed and worked for for over thirty years. In the end, I believe the survival of our liberty depends on it getting done soon.
Bush is a career politician. He wants to build his legacy and will not waste any political capital in causes that he doesn't believe in 100%. Sorry, I just don't think abortion is one of his priorities.
We shall see. He has proven a cagey politician and good tactician from a political sense and I believe, being a sincere Christian, and having the right inclinations, that he is open to guidance from above.
I hope and I pray that those things win out in the end...like I said, ultimately, because of the fundamental nature of the issue, our very liberty depends on it.
Then I would seriously urge you to look for a better candidate in 08. Do you know what Bush's position is on Roe v Wade?
Just more proof of his greatness. I so dispise those who cry freedom of choice, when it is really freedom to murder. The baby isn't given a choice, and when you see a life that is in jeapordy, it always struggles to survive. This alone should be proof of choice!! Of course a liberal wouldn't even attempt to agree with that.
I still have a copy of that book on my shelves. Ah.. for another Reagan! or Lincoln for that matter.
The numbers are against us.
O'Connor, Kennedy, Souter, Ginsberg and Stevens are calling the shots right now and only Rehnquist - a truly great American - looks like his departure is imminent.
The liberal branch of the Court will hang in there until 2008 to try and assure these offerings to Moloch continue.
It's important to promote a culture of life. A hospitable society is a society where every being counts and every person matters. The ideal world is one in which every child is protected in law and welcomed to life. I understand there's great differences on this issue of abortion, but I believe reasonable people can come together and put good law in place that will help reduce the number of abortions. Take, for example, the ban on partial birth abortion. It's a brutal practice. People from both political parties came together in the halls of Congress and voted overwhelmingly to ban that practice. - Oct 2004He is 4square against partial birth abortion, he wants no federal money for abortions, he is for parental notification, he wants no federal money for international organizations performing aboprtion, he promotes a culture of life, he believes in exceptions for incest and rape (which I do not...why punish an innocent child with death for the crimes of its parent(s)?), he believes in an exception for the life of the mother (which I agree that the mother and father (wherever possible) should decide with a doctors input).
We're not going to spend taxpayers' money on abortion. This is an issue that divides America, but certainly reasonable people can agree on how to reduce abortions in America. I signed the ban on partial birth abortion. It's a brutal practice. It's one way to help reduce abortions. There ought to be parental notification laws. I signed a bill called the Unborn Victims of Violence Act. If you're a mom and you're pregnant and you get killed, the murderer gets tried for two cases, not just one. These are reasonable ways to help promote a culture of life in America. It's a worthy goal in America to have every child protected by law and welcomed in life. We ought to continue to have good adoption law as an alternative to abortion. We need to promote maternity group homes, which my administration has done. - Oct 2004
I think what the next president ought to do is promote a culture of life in America. As a matter of fact, I think a noble goal for this country is that every child, born and unborn, ought to be protected in law and welcomed into life. - Oct 2000
I believe that life is valuable, even when it is unwanted, even when it is physically imperfect. I believe our society has a responsibility to defend the vulnerable and the weak. And I believe our nation should set a goal: that unborn children should be welcomed in life and protected in law. This is the ideal: a generous society that values every life. I know there are many steps on this road. A democracy is ruled by consensus, not by edict. Laws are changed as minds are persuaded. - June 1999
This is what he has said and consistently done and I support that. Is he perfect? No, he (as I have already stated on this thread) too political at times on this issue. But his inclinations, beliefs and motivations are good and I believe he can be influenced by God in Heaven. I'll take that over anything else currently on the radar scope. Hopefully, before 2008, we shall see marked progress. If not, then 2008 is going to be a time for choosing other candidates in any case..
When they say pro-choice...it means pro-their choice, even if if it takes killing another human being and silencing that heart to get their way.
But they're aging. And some of them have had cancer. Is it possible that they may retire?
Right now, I've noticed, the Court has a balance
3 Conservatives, 3 Moderates, and 3 Liberals. If we could get a couple more consrevatives on there, we could tip the balance in our favor.
If we perservere, if we work hard with faith...God in Heaven will send us one...or influence one we already have to become one.
very very sick people. It really just makes me sick.
