This will be the second time to point out your repeated, ignorant statements on this.
Oh, really?
Since when does the President get to appoint 9 brand new S.C. justices? Neither party controls the judicial branch, because judges are appointed for life, so we always have a mixture of liberal and conservative judges. Your ignorant statement makes it sound like Bush got to appoint brand new judges throughout the entire federal judicial system. But then again, I wouldn't expect a liberal to know anything about the Constitution.
You have completely (perhaps purposely) misrepresented what I have written.
Go back and read what I wrote. I
SPECIFICALLY stated that the
GOP controlled all three branches of government. Of the current Justices on the Supreme Court, the overwhelming majority of them have been appointed by a GOP President. In fact, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was recommended to then-President Clinton by Senator Orrin Hatch.
Despite all the promises, all the claims of being the pro-life party, the GOP hasn't done
anything to turn back the clock with respect to the decision handed down in
Roe v. Wade. That is a fact. A case could be brought before the SCOTUS to reverse the decision, and the liberal Justices on the bench could not stop it. Yet, despite this, nothing has been done.
Shouldn't the pro-life hold these candidates accountable for their promises?
Yet, exactly who is the member of Congress who introduced this? None other than the true Maverick, Ron Paul. Who are the co-sponsors? Garrett of New Jersey and Bartlett of Maryland.

Where are all the tough-talking Congressmen who extol the sanctity of life?
By the way, an interesting point about this bill is that "
human life shall be deemed to exist from conception." I wonder if this will be used as a proverbial jumping point to go after birth control should abortion be outlawed.
Either way, the GOP will not do anything - they will simply talk about it until the election.
