In response to these comments, no matter the number of Supreme court judges appointed, it is unlikely that Roe v Wade will be overturned, the precedent has been set, in what some might call an iron clad written opinion, there is really no room to overturn it. With that in mind, the thought is that it is better to vote for a candidate based on the whole of their policy than to vote on a cadidate on their view of whether or not they claim to want to overturn a legal precident which won’t ever be overturned. George Bush had two supreme court appointes (Alito, and Roberts) who did very little in terms of overturning Roe v. Wade, McCain has already said he will not use his supreme court appointes to try and overturn Roe v. Wade. McCain doesn’t even want to end abortion, he wants to make it a state’s rights issue, which if you read your legal history, the fact that it was originally a states rights issue, is why we have Roe v. Wade in the first place.

Wow!! Wow! That is all I can say. Bowled over? You betcha’. I’m probably the last person you’d expect to comment. Just so you know – we prayed for you in our staff prayer time this morning. Remember that Jacob most likely walked with a limp the rest of his life as a reminder of that struggle he had with God. May there always be something to remind us of any commitments we make to our Lord. Now, as to the political thing. We must spend time in prayer before we vote and then vote our conscience. I can’t say that I agree with the “not living through his term” but I understand how you as a college student would see McCain as Old. The Bible does teach us to have great respect for the wisdom of those who have experienced so much life before us. ‘Nough said about that. This is running several postings together, so I’m sorry that I am not that savvy but wanted to let you know the joy your message brought to me.

Hi
You are wrong that taking a position on one stance and that effecting
your judgment on a candidate. A proven direction by one group of people
to make sure something is never over turned will be enacted if the Democrats
gain as many seats as some say.
They will appoint judges that will stiffall al debate about moral issues
for the next 8 years. Two Supreme Court appointments will kill all hope
for the choice for Life. If you believe something it must sway your
decision in elections
