“People come into society with certain God given rights and among those is the right to life,” he said. “It is our solemn duty as officials in elected office to protect tight rights -- the first and foremost the right to life.”

Perfect!

It says so right in the Declaration of Independence!

Perfect indeed! Ah, Fred. If only.

Still, I give thanks that he is still working for our country.

Had Fred gotten into the Presidential race earlier and ran a more energized and spirited campaign, he’d be our nominee.

And of course we ended up with McCain instead of this staunch conservative as a candidate. My views on anyone who gets an abortion except when the mother’s life is in immediate danger, is that they are murderers. Roe VS Wade should be overturned and abortion turned back to the states. I am sure there are some states that will keep abortion legal, but most of them won’t.

We're lucky to have him in any capacity.

It certainly wasn’t all Fred’s fault. Once he entered the race, the mainstream media worked overtime, sweating bullets, to ignore him.

If it does get turned back to the states, while it be morally proper in the states that elect to keep it?

I know I’m dreaming, but I would love for him to get McCaine’s veep spot.

Are you really stupid or can’t you read? I said abortion is murder except in cases where the mother’s life is in danger. It doesn’t matter who has the call, feds or state, it is still murder. I said that in my original post, I guess you are not too bright. Abortion, like almost all issues, is a states rights, or powers if you will, issue and should be left to the states. If a state grants abortion rights I can always move to one that doesn’t. The fact is, most states won’t grant the right to an abortion, they won’t condone murder. Now, if you are finished questioning my integrity I will tell you quite politely to f*** off.

Sadly when the Sanctity of Life Act of 2007 was introduced there were only 4 GOP co-sponsors. So much for being the “party of life”.

Your dream is a nightmare. Two old men, that have or had cancer.

Fred was one of my senator’s for 8 years. No thanks.

You make a lot of assumptions that aren't warranted. First, my remarks were rhetorical, meant to stimulate discussion; they weren't an assault on your "integrity," if that's what you want to call it. Second, we live in a Republic comprised of states whose laws are expected to conform to the written Constitution of that Republic. If the laws of any state run counter to those enumerated in that document, particularly those pertaining to the right of each individual to his own life, it is both right and proper that the federal authority should restrain the encroachment of any state upon that right. Perhaps you believe that slavery ought to be a matter of states' rights?

BS, you were questioning my comment about states having the right to determine the legality of abortion and questioning whether I would still consider it murder if the states had that rights they should have. My original post made it plain I considered it murder, so you must have a problem with states rights and my integrity as you seem to assume that I would think it ok if states legalized it. So, your second comment to me is BS. Own up to your remarks or simply don’t make them in the future if you don’t want to stand behind them.

Fred was the most conservative candidate running that had a snowballs chance and the “moderate wing” won out.

And what does having cancer have to do with it? Does that preclude someone from being Pres? Creepy comments for sure.

I didn't ask whether you would consider it murder, but whether you considered it morally proper. And since you admittedly consider it murder, and don't seem to have any qualms about it, vis-a-vis the United States Constitution and Bill of Rights, one can only assume that your vaunted "integrity" leaves much to be desired. Either that, or you're one very confused individual. You're not a neo-Confederate, are you?
