Truer words have never been written. Abortion is a political football. The right to safe, legal abortion is here to stay.

Abortion is not safe to one person in each abortion, and that is the unfortunate baby who loses their life.

Breaking news, Donald Trump will be going to visit the flood victims in Louisiana tomorrow. I was hoping he would do this and it will show Hillary (resting) and Obama (golfing) in a poor light. Trump has to do stuff like this to win the Presidency, to show that he is willing to go anywhere to help Americans in distress.
 
once word gets out Trump is going, Hillary and Obama will try to beat him down there! 😦

Good! There needs to be pressure put on our leaders to do something when crisis hits. I have no problem with the President coming to Louisiana - if he comes at all that is.
 
Maybe he will suggest we built some big walls to keep that Mexican water out of Louisiana.

Seriously, there are many places along the Mississippi River where people have bet their lives there will not be yet another flood. New Orleans has many areas already below sea level and sinking. They have experienced many floods before and surely will have more. A decision will have to be made not to resettle people in areas that cannot be defended from Mother Nature, or spend many, many dollars to build state of the art levies to keep flood waters out.

Bless his pea pickin’ little heart. ❤️ He is a builder by nature and by trade, and if anyone help down there, Mr. Trump can! 👍

Yeah, Pres. Obama certainly was AWOL in this case. Just imagine if a GOP prez had gone golfing while Baton Rouge was underwater.

How is Trump going to help the situation? This is nothing but a political move and photo-op, but to be expected. I would wager the idea came from his new manager.

While I certainly understand and respect your beliefs concerning abortion, they do not negate the fact that abortion will remain safe, legal option for women in our country regardless of who we elect as our next POTUS.

Even Archbishop Chaput, who is hardly a squishy liberal, says that Trump has “astonishing flaws.” He opined that neither candidate is clearly superior to the other, and that Catholics could decide to support either, or neither of them.

Wow. Quite a statement from Chaput considering he has previously been quoted on CAF when it comes to voting and abortion choice. He said in 2012 when asked whether a Catholic could vote for Obama in good faith, “I can only speak in terms of my own personal views. I certainly can’t vote for somebody who’s either pro-choice or pro-abortion.” I guess though this settles the question often debated on CAF about voting at least for this cycle. He says good Catholic people can choose not to vote or vote 3rd party or vote for one or the other of the major party candidates this year.

Interesting. One wonders whether he has considered the Supreme Court appointments each promises to make. Flaws are flaws, but the legal system my children and grandchildren inherit is something else entirely. One remembers that the Bill Clinton appointee was Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who always votes to support abortion, even partial birth abortion, and who has opined that the age of sexual consent should be 12.

I guess I am arch-conservative, even reactionary, in today’s U.S., in thinking the courts should be interpreting and applying the law passed by representatives as well as the constitution as written, rather than instead of inventing novel opinions designed to effect cultural change.

So, for me, there’s no choice to this but Trump. If Abp Chaput feels there is no moral difference between the candidates, that’s his to judge for himself, and perhaps he’s right. But for me, it’s a more practical matter affecting whether my children and grandchildren live under the rule of law or that of executive fiat backed by a radical judiciary.

And as a purely practical, and more selfish, matter, as a sometime investor I dread the near certainty that the winners and losers in the economy will be determined by what giant corporation (or country) gives the most money to Hillary Clinton. I would rather see the markets determine those outcomes.

But probably those practical (and to a degree selfish) considerations are not the kinds of things Abp Chaput is concerned with.

Just because justices interpret the Constitution and see things differently than someone else might, doesn’t necessarily mean they are inventing novels.

You think it’s in the bag for Hillary Clinton? Is that correct? Because if that’s what you think, I suspect the Republicans are hoping there are a lot of Hillary Clinton supporters that think the way you do, because you may vote, but if some Hillary Clinton supporters think it’s in the bag for her, they may not vote for their candidate because they just think it’s going to be a safe Hillary Clinton win regardless of if they personally vote or not, and that could in turn result in a Trump win.

I imagine the Clinton camp will have a sound get out the vote ground game going and will make efforts to guard against complacency.

I agree, to a point. He certainly did us no favors when he made the prolife movement out to be a punish-women movement. On the other hand, in some ways he’d surely be better than Hillary (if he can beat her, which I strongly doubt).

He is not “better than Hillary”.

The thought of him having access to our nuclear weapons arsenal is chilling. Absolutely chilling.

As the saying goes: a man who can be baited with a tweet shouldn’t be let near our nuclear weapons.

And as this article states, this guy described Hillary in this way:

In these critically important meetings, I found her to be prepared, detail-oriented, thoughtful, inquisitive and willing to change her mind if presented with a compelling argument.
nytimes.com/2016/08/05/opinion/campaign-stops/i-ran-the-cia-now-im-endorsing-hillary-clinton.html?_r=0

More from the above article:

In sharp contrast to Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Trump has no experience on national security. Even more important, the character traits he has exhibited during the primary season suggest he would be a poor, even dangerous, commander in chief.

These traits include his obvious need for self-aggrandizement, his overreaction to perceived slights, his tendency to make decisions based on intuition, his refusal to change his views based on new information, his routine carelessness with the facts, his unwillingness to listen to others and his lack of respect for the rule of law.

But hey, he had golf scheduled with Larry David, so what can you do. 🤷:rolleyes:

This really doesn’t look good for President Obama.

For Trump/Pence to go to Louisiana, it is a good move for them from a campaign level and hopefully their visit will bring more attention to what has happened in Lousiana and in turn help the people there.

Sadly, I disagree. If there is anything I know about Hilary Clinton, she is rotten to the core and isn’t willing to change her mind…unless it is for an increased immoral stance on an issue. Seems to me she was quick to blame a YouTube video about some critically important event (Benghazi). If that’s an example of being “prepared”, I don’t want anything to do with her.
