He is a one issue candidate, EV - in spite of a much broader record - because he’s allowed himself to be defined that way.

He hasn't "allowed" anything of the sort. It is folks like yourself who go along with the media and the political elites who have done so. In fact, if you'll just stop and think about it, you'll realize that you're doing it right now.

Thing is, most people believe that the Constitution and the SCOTUS should be silent on the issue, that it should be a States’ Rights issue. No Amendment to ban, and overturn Roe v. Wade so the states can decide.

I don't care if "most people" believe that the moon is made of green cheese, I'm not going to go along with them.

The notion that states can alienate unalienable rights is one of the most ludicrous ideas extant in the country today. It is destructive of the foundations of our form of government and our liberty.

And the Constitution is not silent on this, sir. The document states its own purposes, and the crowning purpose, as stated, is to "secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity."

It repeatedly forbids the taking of the life of any innocent person.

It also requires, as an imperative duty, that the states provide for the equal protection of the laws for ALL PERSONS.

Let me ask you: Is the fetus a PERSON from its creation, its first moment of biological inception?

Because, even Blackmun, the author of the majority opinion in Roe, admitted in the decision that if it is a person, it is "OF COURSE" protected by the clear provisions of our Constitution.

Sarah Palin, and Ron Paul, and John McCain, et al, admit it is a person, and then say that the states can allow the killing if they want.

In a very real sense, their position is WORSE than Blackmuns. He dehumanized the child and then said "kill it if you want." They admit the child's humanity and then say "kill it if you want."

They act as if the Constitution they all swore to uphold and defend does not even exist.

“Let me ask you: Is the fetus a PERSON from its creation, its first moment of biological inception?”

As surely as our Lord was fully God and fully man from the instant the Spirit overtook the Theotokos.

My brother, you won’t change this issue with laws. This will only be done by truly changing the hearts of others. That has to be done one heart and mind at a time.

I’ve said all I’m going to say to you. Please don’t address me again.
