Can you look at endorsement for the presidential candidate and say maybe that endorsement was wasted? Looking at the presidential race one can’t help but wonder. What if instead of endorsing Thomson and Romney, leading pro-life groups of this country would support Hackabee? Could we have McCain trailing behind Hackabee? May be or may be not. But today I would like to look at McCain and his stance on pro-life issues.

Senators McCain’s website states the following:

John McCain believes Roe v. Wade is a flawed decision that must be overturned, and as president he will nominate judges who understand that courts should not be in the business of legislating from the bench. Constitutional balance would be restored by the reversal of Roe v. Wade, returning the abortion question to the individual states. The difficult issue of abortion should not be decided by judicial fiat.

Unfortunately this is not what McCain expressed in the following video:

Repealing Roe v Wade will lead to would make abortion illegal. Amen to that. Will it make more dangerous that it is today. Not anymore dangerous as it is today- leaving behind one dead and many wounded. But that is the slogan of the “pro-choice” movement “Keep Abortions Safe and Legal”. No matter how hard you try, Sen. MacCain, you just can not be on the both side of the fence at the same time.

So what about his stand on embryonic research and cloning?

Evidently McCain believes that both are OK and is guided by a false argument that many frozen embryos are predestined to die, therefore we should get the best out of the situation. While it is true that in the USA way to many embryos are produced than needed for IVF, even if we kill all these frozen embryos, there will not be enough to produce just a few strains of stem cells, never mind to find a cure. In order for embryonic research to to go ahead, creating embryos for the sole purpose of destroying them is necessary.

I still can’t help but wonder what it would be like if Hackabee was ahead. What about you?

“My lawyers were looking for a young, white woman to be a guinea pig for a great new social experiment, somewhat like Adolf Hitler did.I wanted an abortion at the time, but my lawyers did not tell me that I would be killing a human being. My lawyers did not tell me that I would later come to deeply regret that I was partially responsible for killing 40-50 million human beings,” – Norma McCorvey (aka Jane Roe)

I have just come across this quiz, that, if you take it, will show you how much do you really know about Supreme Court’s landmark decision that legalized abortion in the United States.

In January of 2008, it will be 35th anniversary of Roe vs. Wade, so I was curious how much do I know myself. I have answered all but 2 questions correctly. If you take the quiz, you will be given the results indicating which of the questions were answered incorrectly. The correct answers for the tow questions I answered incorrectly surprised me, but I was just trying to be a little lenient. Do you think you know what was at stake in Roe vs. Wade case? Take the quiz and then come back and tell me how you did. I found this quiz via Jill Stanek’s blog- make sure to subscribe to the feed of her blog.
