I can say I'm Bono, so does that make me him? No. So, if Bush says he pro life, does that make him pro-life? No. Provide me with soild evidence that he is, neocons. Some of you coted for him on this issue only,so what has he done for your cause since the beginning of 2005 besides saying " I support the sacnrity of Life, I support the sanctity of life, I support the sanctity of life......."

Actually, President Bush's stance on abortion is one of the fairest out there. Yes, he believes it's wrong; however, other than attempting to illegalize partial-birth abortions, he has done nothing about it. The question is why, right?
It's quite simple really. He understands that it's been legal for thirty years, and that to illegalize it completely would be utterly unfair. Women would have to resort to other, less safe, methods of terminating a pregnancy. It would bring back the days when women would use coat-hangers to terminate their pregnancy.
Therefore, unless it's ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court, it's going to remain legal. President Bush knows that. Even appointing two "pro-life" members to the Supreme Court means nothing. They are in the minority, and there's nothing they can do about it.
Come on, don't you remember civics? There's really nothing the president can do, one way or another. Congress and the Senate write the laws, and vote on them, the president can either sign it into effect or veto, and then the Supreme Court decides whether it's constitutional or not. Remember?

He has done the most important thing to fight abortion: nominate judges that will throw out Roe v Wade. What should have happened in the decision is the matter of abortion should be reserved for the states. Since abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution, it is reserved for the states. See the 10th Amendment. The Court made up a fictitous right to privacy to force abortion legal on the country.
This is the legal argument that makes Roe unconstitutional. We have 4 judges that will likely overrule it. We have 1 more to go. We will probably get at least 1 more Supreme Court judge to retire. Stevens is in his 90's.

Because a persons Health and medical care are not in the government realm.
The fact of when a person becomes a actual person ie: Conception or birth is a matter of debate, and a religious issue, which brings us to separation of church and state.
And I lay money on it that if men were the ones getting pregnant abortion would be a amendment to the constitution.

you're being very conventional, and not pondering the circumstances of each and every subject you reported. Advocating conflict would not make you professional-dying (considering professional-dying could be the different of expert-existence.) In too many cases conflict is the end results of countries scuffling with to end mindless KILLING. (think of concentration camps and the style of human beings dying on a daily foundation. The conflict ended that!) So mutually because it is unlucky that there are casualties of conflict, it would not make you professional-dying to help it. eating meat sustains existence, so i would not evaluate non-vegetarians professional-dying, the two. And in case you had to be literal approximately this one, in case you eat something that became as quickly as alive, then even salad eaters are certainly professional-dying. I do, in spite of the undeniable fact that, agree that folk who say abortion is okay "purely in relation to incest and rape" are actual professional-determination, not professional-existence. i don't understand who categorized the two facets of the abortion subject "professional-existence" and "professional-determination," in spite of the undeniable fact that it quite is only the common and understood words for this subject. yet in my view it does properly describe the two viewpoints in that distinctive subject. professional-choicers think of determination is extra significant than an unborn infant's existence, and professional-lifers think of that existence is extra significant than yet somebody else's determination.

He's smart not to get too vocal about it. Abortion should not be a political issue. It's none of the Government's business.

He nominated Harriet Meyers to the Supreme Court.
But the bastard liberals (and the saintly conservatives) wouldn't confirm her.
IsQuad.... he's not doing everything he could do. He could press for a Constitutional Amendment to protect the fetus.

Sorry to tell you...
that was one of Bush baby's numerous boldfaced lies.
He told you, and your type, that nonsense to appeal to the Christian Right base.
Like fascism - the marriage of Corporations with the State - the so-called Christians in the USA have married the Republican pultocrats in a satanic wedding leading to some of the most horrid and immoral attricities this planet has ver faced. The injustice of this satanic wedlock is making devotion to Jesus Christ our Lord a suspect faith.
Christians, true Christians, do not support Bush.
