[...] posts here months ago focusing on Hillary Clinton. I wondered who pro-life voters should prefer: Rudy Giuliani or Hillary Clinton. Seems silly now, [...]

Precisely what measures do each of them support?Precisely what do each of them oppose?

Mike,

It all depends on who they are talking to and what time of day it is – both want to be all things to all people, therefore, say whatever is needed at the time to gain support or an endorsement and then go on to the next venue or group of people.

While I would like to see abortion regulated like other dangerous medical treatments, I remain dismayed at the tendency of pro-lifers to wallow in unsubstantiated smears.

No one in this discussion has documented the past actions of either Clinton or Giuliani in regard to specific abortion-related legislation.

abortion is a sacrament

I’ve never hear Hillary, or anyone who supports her, say or suggest anything close to this. You do her a disservice by misrepresenting her in this inflammatory way.

In this election, I may be wrong, but I don’t think abortion issues are going to swing many votes when there are other very serious problems in this nation that also need addressing and also effect a broader spectrum of society – war, energy resources, national debt (btw – all compiled by our current admin), health care for an aging baby boom population, etc…

Now, for further comment, now that I have time, Randall Terry is nuts—but that’s nothing new. Rudy would be a tiny bit better; he might nominate constructionist judges to the Court, whereas Hillary under no circumstances would. She is, as Kengor states, the perfect storm of pro-death candidates. Abortion is a sacrament in her religion.

That said, and I understand before I say this what the ramifications could be, I can’t vote for either. If it comes to Hillary or Rudy, I’m going third-party, likely Libertarian. Not voting, by the way, isn’t an option, and I’m disappointed that Dobson would even mention it. People died for that right, and I won’t dishonor their memory by sitting out a major election.

Interesting fodder for discussion: a pro-choice Libertarian would more likely see Roe overturned as President (pipe dream, I know!) than would a pro-life Republican who was wishy-washy on judges, because Libertarians, as I understand them, actually believe that the Constitution is the law of the land.

Novel concept, eh?

Allow me to suggest, as a side point, that according Randall Terry any credibility whatever is a mistake.
