Following the trend that the opposite of what the polls says is usually the outcome, it seems that imo we will soon have anti-abortion judge and abortion will soon be illegal.


Poll: Americans Want Roe V. Wade Upheld
WASHINGTON -- A majority of Americans say President Bush's next choice for an opening on the Supreme Court should be willing to uphold the landmark court decision protecting abortion rights, an Associated Press poll found.

The poll found that 59 percent say Bush should choose a nominee who would uphold the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion. About three in 10, 31 percent, said they want a nominee who would overturn the decision, according to the poll conducted for the AP by Ipsos-Public Affairs.

"While I don't have a strong feeling about abortions personally, I wouldn't want the law overturned and return to the days of backdoor abortions," said Colleen Dunn, 40, a Republican and community college teacher who lives outside Philadelphia.

The preference for Supreme Court nominees who would uphold Roe v. Wade could be found among both men and women, most age groups, most income groups and people living in urban, suburban and rural areas. Fewer than half of Republicans, evangelicals and those over 65 said they favored a nominee who would uphold the abortion ruling.

Bush has sidestepped questions about whom he would name to an opening, but has indicated he would pick judges like those he picked in his first term -- often young and conservative.


Based on the above article and poll, the majority will most likely get exactly what they don't want.

Why put a child to life if you don't want it and have nothing to feed it...
Abortion is not murder, it's the choice to do what you want with your body...

but we in Quebec, have abortion for years! Are we bad for that?


1 - I'm a girl, not a guy.

2 - When women commit abortion they do not abort themselves,
they abort a living, breathing, thumbsucking, eye opening, heart beating
BABY HUMAN. So no, abortion is not doing something to your own body.
It's killing a human being. Women don't abort their own bodies, they
abort someone elses. BTW - when babies in the womb are operated
on, they get pain killing drugs. Why? Because they are alive and
FEEL PAIN.

3 - Why bring a child to life if you have nothing to feed it? You don't
kill the child, you allow him or her to be adopted. There is a HUGE
waiting list to adopt. (I know, I have adopted!). There is a very good
screening process about adoption as well. ALSO - if a person can't afford
to bring a child into the world, then they shouldn't be having unprotected
unmarried sex. It's that simple. And don't say RAPE. The last stats I saw
on abortion was that abortion due to rape was for less than 5% of
abortions AND why on earth would someone take a rape victim and further
tramatize them by telling them to murder their own child? That's sick.

4 - Quebec has had abortion for years, are you bad for that? YES. So is
America and so is any other country that murders it's own children. It is
definately bad. However, the fact that people don't understand what
happens in an abortion may mitigate your, and your country's, blame
somewhat. God will be the final judge on just how bad Quebec and
those who support abortion are. Pray and ask him. I'm sure he'll let
you know just how bad abortion is. Pray and keep your eyes and heart
open to His answer.
