Wrong. The President hand picks those on SCOTUS, and then Congress approves them.Dodo_David said:Uh, there are pro-life Democrats, and the legality of abortion in the USA isn't something that President Obama is responsible for.
If you are going to complain about the legality of abortion in the USA, then you are going to have to aim your complaint at the SCOTUS Justices who were involved in the Roe v. Wade decision, and those people weren't elected.
Let me put this another way, if they were Nazis whom embraced genocide, could you vote for them no matter if everything else you liked about them?tom55 said:For me it is difficult to vote for or against a politician based on one issue. It is impossible to find a politician that agrees with everything I believe. As a Christian it is very difficult to vote for any politician that supports abortion, however, I am not a one issue voter but I am strongly pro-life.
What if said politician is pro-life but adamantly supports planned parenthood and would give them more of our tax money? Should I vote for them?
Indeed. At the time the GOP embraced the decision.Dodo_David said:The legality of abortion in the USA is the result of the Roe v. Wade decision of January 1973, and President Obama was still a kid at the time of that SCOTUS decision. Of the current SCOTUS members, five were appointed by Republican Presidents.
You painted a very strong picture in my head with your Nazi analogy. Good job! As far as I know I have never voted for a politician that supports abortion (and never will) and I would never vote for a politician that supports genocide. However, I have probably voted for a politician that supports Planned Parenthood, which supports abortions. So I guess if the only politicians I had to choose from all supported abortion, I wouldn't vote. However, one of them will get into office so maybe I should vote for the one that I agree with on MOST issues? The lesser of two evils?iticus said:Let me put this another way, if they were Nazis whom embraced genocide, could you vote for them no matter if everything else you liked about them?
These types of responses tell me that Christians really don't believe abortion is murder.
Wouldn't you still be voting for and supporting evil?tom55 said:You painted a very strong picture in my head with your Nazi analogy. Good job!

it really upsets me to know there are only two on the supreme court who are not catholic and the supreme court could stop it any time they wanted to.. Catholics are suppose to stand up for little children and they easly have the majority in the supreme court .. why are they allowed to have communion when the priest's all know they could stop these murders any time they wanted to. the supreme court catholic majority all know the commandment says though shall not murder. yet they allow it. year after year proving they are unrepentant and they still allowed to
have the lord supper? both them and their priests should have been x communicated .

I'm in the camp the voting system is corrupt, so it doesn't really matter.
What we're doing in America isn't working anymore, a revamp would be helpful, but that isn't going to happen. I do believe the US is in a downward spiral with no hopes of an upward swing. I believe there will be a one world gov't and Obama is a puppet in its advancement, just as all major world leaders.
