OK, mccain has made it loud and clear, he will insure Roe V Wade is overturned

[still_one]

Are there any pro-choice women who would actually vote for him?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

1. PUMAs?

[Diane R]

2. Yet Hillary's supporters will vote for him just to let everyone know they're still pouting.

[isentropic]

4. I think you are grossly mistaken there.

:shrug:

[still_one]

7. I agree /nt

[Skittles]

11. stop with the broadbush

you sound like a stupid fucking repuke

[cynatnite]

15. Oh, really? n/t

[isentropic]

3. And he's depending on the fact that a lot of knuckledraggers won't realize he couldn't do it

even if he got to live in our WH.

[Flying Dream Blues]

18. Wrong...he'll likely be able to appoint 2-3 Supreme Court justices, so

Roe v. Wade could certainly be overturned if McCain is elected.

[dkf]

5. Which justices would he not have appointed...he picks all the pro-choice judges.

Yup, he's going after Roe v Wade

[DesertFlower]

12. i knew he would start with ginsberg. nt

[Tangerine LaBamba]

6. Prehistoric whore

Any pro-choice woman - or man - who votes for him --- naw, it can't happen. It just can't.

Can it?

[still_one]

8. He supported the South Dakota bill to ban abortions, even in cases of rape, incest

and the life of the Mother

mccain is a radical SOB

[Tangerine LaBamba]

13. He supported that POS?

I know he's a whore of the first order, but I can never quite get my head around how perfect he is.

How come the evangelicals aren't holding him to their collective, insane bosoms?

[still_one]

14. Yeah, 2 years ago, or whenever that came out, he supported it /nt

[Forkboy]

9. I take him at his word.

“I do not support Roe versus Wade. It should be overturned.”

[psychmommy]

21. nice work forkboy.

thanks for encouraging me that day. i really needed it.

[Forkboy]

24. Thank you.

And you're welcome. :)

[Canuckistanian]

10. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've seen this movie before

Threatening Roe v. Wade is their meal-ticket.

They'd never actually DO it or it would have been DONE BEFORE.

With a majority in the House and Senate and a STACKED USSC, they chose to do.........Nothing.

[still_one]

16. They will do it, and the same Congressional Democrats will insure that it will happen

just like their approval of alito and roberts

[Canuckistanian]

22. We'll see what the next crop will do.

When they realize that serving their GOP masters instead of their leadership will actually cost them power and prestige.

[still_one]

25. That is why it is so important that a Democrat be in the White House

because we cannot depend on Congress

[cali]

17. uh, wrong. really wrong and sadly stupid.

All it would take is 2 Thomas/Scalia/Roberts/Alito clones, and Roe would be history. And if you think nothing has been done over the past decade to cripple Roe, you know nothing.

[Canuckistanian]

20. If you put it that way

Yes, Roe v. Wade MIGHT be threatened in such a scenario.

HOWEVER, it would take a MAJOR upheaval in the court to overturn R v. W. The Supreme Court has always been loathe to overturn such specific decisions.

And yes, Roe is crippled, but the fundamentals still stand.

[cali]

23. The SC has indeed overturned specific decisions

Furthermore, if you don't think that Scalia, Thomas, Alito and Roberts would overturn Roe, you are sadly mistaken.

[DemBones DemBones]

19. Every Republican has to say that, just as every Democrat has to

promise to preserve Roe. Don't pay any attention.

It's a wedge issue used by both parties to get their base to vote.

Some suckers on both sides were sure Reagan would overturn Roe and it was absolutely essential to vote for or against him, depending.

Same for Bush I and Bush II. Roe still stands, despite them appointing justices to SCOTUS.

Only SCOTUS can overturn Roe, and they have turned down abortion cases they might have used to do so.
