It's not something that the voting population is worked up about, so you'd think as a pro-life politician he'd go our way, not theirs.<BR/><BR/>The big question, though, is what happens with the supreme court in replacing O'Connor and (probably before too long) Renquist. Even two strong pro-life appointments wouldn't quite set us up for a Roe v. Wade overturn, but it would get us to 4 to 5. <BR/><BR/>If, on the other hand, Bush gives us a "middle of the road" justice on life issues, I have the feeling there would finally be a melt-down between pro-lifers and the GOP.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589378.post-1121382386231544512005-07-14T19:06:00.000-04:002005-07-14T19:06:00.000-04:00My grandmother-in-law was indeed a registered Demo...My grandmother-in-law was indeed a registered Democrat -- she was a Nixon-era liberal, and her politics stayed fixed while the party moved on. She retained her Democratic registration so she could vote in the primaries for the candidate she considered the wackiest and most unlikely to win. Her husband died several years before she did, but she kept right on voting for him! Making up for all those dead voters in Chicago, I guess...mrsdarwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03446744635277205867noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3589378.post-1121297574520196872005-07-13T19:32:00.000-04:002005-07-13T19:32:00.000-04:00Pro-life. One of my convictions is that we respect...Pro-life. One of my convictions is that we respect life as the most precious gift we have.<BR/>This is NOT an advertisement,but if you go to my web site: www.netscrapes.com & check out the editorial I wrote there titled: Rights of Mammals Vs. Humans, you'll see how I feel on this topic.<BR/>And, if you don't want to travel there, just remember that all life is precious, but there's absolutely no negotiating on human life.

The problem is that in most elections, at best, you are left with a choice between the lesser of two evils.<BR/><BR/>Morally, when I have a choice, I must weigh the records and statements of the candidates and vote for the candidate who is the most pro-life. I cannot get into all kinds of calculations as to how this will affect the overall makeup of a legislative body, etc. Much of this is pure speculation. I am responsible for my vote, not the collective votes of the electorate.<BR/><BR/>Once the person is in office, you must do what you can to persuade the person to actually govern or legislate in a pro-life manner. <BR/><BR/>The fact is that the government is only one way to change the culture of death. I think most pro-life folks know that it is the grassroots efforts that directly affect people's lives that are changing people's hearts and minds to a culture of life perspective.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
