**Many Catholics, myself included, were dismayed that these respected Catholic intellectuals drew upon the sort of language they disapprove of in the candidate Trump. **

I apologize for them too.

Trump does not approve of abortion, and he needs to be educated a little bit more about how deceitful Planned Parenthood really is. It will happen.

Guess you have NOT read Life News lately, because you missed a LOT, including THIS, dated March 14, 2016:

“Attention Donald Trump: Killing 330,000 Babies Outweighs Any Good Planned Parenthood Does

National Steven Ertelt Mar 14, 2016 (snip)

For most people it’s not ok to kill kids so long as you have a good marketing program, powerful political connections, or do a few “cancer screenings” that most can get from a local community center which isn’t tainted with the blood of the abortion industry.....’”

If you want to give DONALD TRUMP the benefit of the doubt, I have no problem with that, but at least admit a candidate this CLUELESS would not be capable of selecting the best judges.

Unfortunately, she can’t force RINO Review to publish this ‘rebuttal’.

What is CLUELESS is the assumption of single-issue voters that the most experienced executive running for the office of Chief Executive does not know how to be an executive. Trump has promised to side with conservative values, but also to work to unify people. So he would try to craft an approach that would start moving the issue forward incrementally without starting an all-out war, like the Clintons did when they first entered office.

An excellent executive sets the direction in which his people should go, gathers teams of excellent people to study various issues, propose solutions and present him with the research and options he wants to fulfill his promises to the American people. He does not act alone, and Trump knows this: he has decried the "phone and pen" methods of Obama.

No matter who is elected, any president will have to get a bill passed by Congress or a piece of legislation worked through the courts to the Supreme Court in order to overturn Roe v. Wade. That requires a team, and Trump is great at building teams with focused objectives. However, even a President Cruz would meet the same determined opposition from Democrats, liberals, progressives, activists with deep pockets, the ACLU, and many other of the usual suspects. So don't get your hopes up for one man to be able to turn aside a large and intertwined body of law stemming from the early 1960s in which the distribution of birth control to the unmarried was legalized by the SCOTUS, leading to literally thousands of lower-court decisions on every aspect of sexual behavior, undoing Christian moral standards one decision at a time.

The best hope for an extinguishing of abortion practices is a three-pronged approach: gradual wearing away though support from the next Administration's DOJ for an end to the most heinous practices, as well as new legislation through Congress and good selection of SCOTUS and appellate justices.

So that you don't get your hopes up too high, the problem of judge selection will confound ANY person elected to the presidency, because the law schools themselves have been corrupted politically and turned into hotbeds of marxist activism since the 1970s. That is nearly 50 years of marxist indoctrination in the law schools, including even those at ostensibly Catholic universities like Georgetown. Hell, the Pope himself has been steeped in marxist "liberation theology" over the past 50 years, and speaks moral confusion on all issues of sexuality every time he opens his mouth on the subject. Therefore the selection of reliable conservatives is very, very limited.

So, do not expect a miracle to come from ANY president, especially if Obama and our feckless GOP go ahead and seat another liberal on the SCOTUS before November, placing conservatives on the court in a numerical minority of 3 out of nine.

“..single-issue voters..”

I’m a 50 million PLUS issues voter - that’s how many unborn babies were murdered since Roe v. Wade.

I don’t trust a clueless man, like Trump, to pick pro-life, Constitutional judges. No on-the-job training for POTUS. The job is too important!

During “40 Days for Life” I stood next to a woman who held a sign which said: “I regret my aboritio.” Later a young man stood by us, who had a sign saying he supported Planned Parenthood. The woman engaged in conversation with him, and told him that she didn’t want anyone to have to go through what she had to go through. He told her PP also does healthcare. The young man used the same talking point that PP uses, and SO DOES DONALD TRUMP!

Then the woman told the young man how LITTLE PP does, as far as healthcare goes, such as PP doesn’t do mammos, etc.. This woman knew more about it than Donald Trump.

Obvously Donald Trump would not pick good advisors, if he ever became president, because he now has campaign advisors, but Trump is STILL as CLUELESS as he ever was!

I know! I’ll pick on a word, CLUELESS, and I’ll use that word over and over to try to convince others that it is true, even though it is logically untrue and unprovable. But if I keep saying it, I will feel good about my virtuous character and my own righteousness in my eyes, and I will use voodoo math like 50 million votes to throw shade on someone else, and I’ll feel good! I have not reasoned with my debate opponent, nor answered any of their points with respect, and I have no plan for converting all the heathen who would have an abortion in the first place, nor do I do any positive evangelization — I just demean people who don’t believe as I do, and that’s good enough for me!
