Here are the words describing the convictions of this Free Republic board:
“As a conservative site, Free Republic is pro-God, pro-life, pro-family, pro-Constitution, pro-Bill of Rights, pro-gun, pro-limited government, pro-private property rights, pro-limited taxes, pro-capitalism, pro-national defense, pro-freedom, and-pro America. We oppose all forms of liberalism, socialism, fascism, pacifism, totalitarianism, anarchism, government enforced atheism, abortionism, feminism, homosexuals. . .”
I am still not seeing it folks.
There is not one damn thing that any politician can do, even the president, to overturn R v W..........
I’m OK with that.
I really enjoyed this thread and read it all. Thank you for posting. I especially enjoyed the comments of mrsmel and lonestar67. I, too, became sick of the “St. Cruz” remarks.
Is this satire, ma’am? ;)
And if nor, color me not shocked.
And Trump decides like his advisors have said. He really doesn’t want to be president. He rode his wave of popularity to fill his ego and now he’s done. I still think Cruz is a slimey scumbag but now Trump wants to be a liberal except for closing the borders? I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop in 5..4..3..2..1 shocking he decides that he doesn’t want to build a wall.
This is not new information. He has said this all along.
I supported him, and now I think he’s inevitable, but I disagree with him on the exceptions, except life (even then, I don’t believe in directly killing the baby). I knew that was his position, but I do not agree with changing the platform. Romney believed in exceptions when they had that platform and didn’t try to change it. He has concerned me like in his interview with CBS where he was asked several times before he conceded that, yes, abortion is murder and seemed to indicate the laws we have now are okay. Hope Hicks then hurried and put out a statement that he would appoint judges to overturn Roe vs. Wade and the laws would then change. He has to be held to that.
It’s obvious that abortion is not his wheelhouse, and he’s not well versed on the pro-life “talking points” so to speak. My sincere hope is that he could sit down with pro-life groups, some of whom obviously didn’t like him this primary season, and talk about the issue.
It would be a freaking brutal situation. A situation that the government has NO right to be involved in.
My wife had complications during a birth of one of my sons and I had never been so scared in my life. And I was a combat infantryman.
Anyone out there that would deny a woman an abortion that has an Ectopic Pregnancy? Respond if that would be you.
In this case it really is about the life of the mother. And there are about 200,000 a year in the United States. It dwarfs the the handful of pregnancy’s from rape or incest, BTW.
That's the only abortion related question that matters in the real world. Until Roe is reversed there's no stopping legal abortion in the United States. If it is reversed we have a chance to save real lives.
I'm always willing to accept a compromise that improves the situation. Making these exceptions reduces opposition to the pro-life position. If you want absolute consistency stick with theology or philosophy. Politics always requires compromise.

Surprised? After all, he advocates a man showing his dick to a little girl in a bathroom, so why not this, too. New York values. I’ll never vote for him, ever, including November.
"But but but he tells it like it is and talks tough"
He's a liberal. He's Rick Snyder pt 2 with a bigger mouth. Good riddance.
Will Phyllis Schlafly now change her mind about Trump?
