I don’t care if my president is pro-life.
January 20, 2008
As we approach the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, I want to make a quick comment. I’m tired of Christians saying they’re praying for a Christian, pro-life person to be elected president. I don’t care if my president is pro-life. Yes, it would be nice if he or she shared my views on everything, but the truth is I want someone elected who will appoint constructionist judges to the Supreme Court. Roe v. Wade is the prime example of the third branch of our government legislating. I simply want to exercise my right to vote on this issue. Both sides think they’re right. So, let’s put it to a vote. States where the majority wants abortions, can vote that way. States where the majority doesn’t want them, can vote their way as well. The bottom line here is not the philosophical or moral fiber of our president, but the election of a person who understands that Roe v. Wade is a bad decision that needs to be overturned. Let the issue be decided by the people.
