I know just about all FReepers are pro-life. Would I prefer a strong pro-life ticket? Yes.
You know what I would like more? A winning ticket.
What I mean by that is Trump has the best chance to win.
Trump has already laid out the SCOTUS judges he would appoint, all vetted by the Federalist Society - a very conservative group. He even asked Ted Cruz for help in identifying more conservative judges when they met this week. So Trump’s doing well enough for me on the judge issue.
Getting a strong military person as VP (also strong on RADICAL ISLAMIC TERRORISM) is not a bad move.
With regard to abortion:
Step 1 - Get Trump in the White House
Step 2 - Trump appoints conservative judges from his list to wind up with 6 or more conservative justices. (Can’t rely on Kennedy for anything other than stupidity)
Step 3 - Roe v. Wade is revisited.
Step 4 - Abortion is determined to be a states’ issue to decide on a state-by-state basis.
Then we can get the progress we desire one state at a time.
Whining about whether a particular VP candidate is 100% conservative on every issue gets us nowhere, imo.
"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
-- The U.S. Constitution
Sorry, it's not optional. All human governments exist, before anything else, to provide equal protection for the God-given, unalienable, individual right to life.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are CREATED EQUAL, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men..."
Trivializing genocide.
How low the GOP has sunk.
We never win if we let the GOP elite scare us with social issues every election, then contrive ways so they're never solved in our favor.
