Roe vs. Wade Anniverary

Well, I forgot to post yesterday, but I will probably just post twice today. Dailykos.com talked about the case of Roe vs. Wade. I did not know this, but apparently it is the thirty fifth anniversary of this case. I am sure we all know about what this case was about, but if not I will give a brief summary of it. It was a United States Supreme Court case that resulted in a final decision regarding abortion. According to the Roe decision, most laws against abortion in the United States violated a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.This was the most controversal cases in the history of the Supreme court. It was also a big political case. They will allow abortion up until the “point at which the fetus becomes viable”.

The Democrat and Republican candidates both commented casting their vote for a Chief Justice. I will quote Hillary Clinton and Mike Huckabee because they are, in my opinion, the most opposite.

Hilary Clinton: "I have an obligation to my constituents to make sure that I cast my vote for Chief Justice of the United States for someone I am convinced will be steadfast in protecting fundamental women's rights, civil rights, privacy rights, and who will respect the appropriate separation of powers among the three branches."

Mike Huckabee: “Sometimes we talk about why we are importing so many people in our work force. It might be because for the last 35 years we have aborted more than 1 million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed of Supreme Court ruling in 1973."

Hillary Clinton is pro-choice and Huckabee is pro-life. Huckabee always tries to tell the voters hoe much of a Christian he is. Sometimes I think he goes a little bit overboard, but on this issue, I agree completely. I will never vote for a pro-choice candidate. Abortion is the issue that I feel the most strongly about. I just feel that there are always other options other than killing an innocent child. Being Christians, I am sure you guys agree, so I will not try to argue the point.
