GOP Candidates and President Obama Comment on Roe v. Wade Anniversary

GOP Candidates and President Obama Comment on Roe v Wade Anniversary

Sunday marked the 39th anniversary of Roe v Wade, the landmark Supreme Court decision on abortion. In a presidential election year and the midst of a heated Republican primary, President Obama and several GOP candidates weighed in on the decision which has sparked arguably the biggest wedge issue in American politics.

“We must remember that this Supreme Court decision not only protects a woman’s health and reproductive freedom, but also affirms a broader principle: that government should not intrude on private family matters,” the President said in a statement. ”I remain committed to protecting a woman’s right to choose and this fundamental constitutional right. ”

Republican presidential candidate and outspoken pro-life advocate Rick Santorum has a different opinion. In a Sunday editorial within the Wall Street Journal, the former Pennsylvania senator wrote that the only way to overturn the now four decade old decision is to elect a president committed to defending life and appointing originalist judges.

“I believe that all life is precious. I know life begins at conception. I know that every person, every child conceived in the womb, has a right to life. I know that life is a right endowed by our Creator, that it is inalienable, laid down in the Declaration of Independence, and should be guaranteed under the Constitution. The right to life is the first right. Without its protection, no other rights matter.

This anniversary is both a day of sadness for the more than 40 million babies who have been killed since Roe v. Wade and a day of hope as more and more Americans embrace a culture of life and as more and more young people march in Washington and around the country in support of life.

The 14th Amendment states explicitly: ‘No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.’

The Constitution is clear. The meaning is inconvenient.”

Santorum went on to outline his role in fighting partial-birth abortion, and criticized the President’s “radical and extreme ” pro-choice record as well as his opponents lack of enthusiasm on pro-life issues.

“My opponents whisper that they are pro-life, but I fight the battle in the trenches and will continue to do so until every innocent human life in this country is protected.”

Former Massachusetts Governor Mitt Romney made a statement on the anniversary of “one of the darkest moments in Supreme Court history,” writing that the decision has resulted in millions of lives “tragically silenced.”

“Since that day, the pro-life movement has been working tirelessly in an effort to change hearts and minds and protect the weakest and most vulnerable among us. Today, we recommit ourselves to reversing that decision, for in the quiet of conscience, people of both political parties know that more than a million abortions a year cannot be squared with the good heart of America.”

Romney’s pro-life record has been scrutinized by both opponents and general bystanders.

All four remaining Republican presidential candidates describe themselves as pro-life, but the former Massachusetts governor is yet to sign the Personhood USA pledge and was the only candidate to not attend a forum on the issue in South Carolina Wednesday night.

In a recent interview with the Catholic News Agency , Texas Rep.Ron Paul said he believes that America’s “love for liberty” can be measured by how “the most innocent” members of society are treated.

“And the pro-life movement has played an extremely important role in fighting to make sure innocent life is protected,” he told CNA/EWTN News.

The Hill notes that when the Republican-led House passed bills in 2011 that would restrict federal subsidies for abortion, the issue nearly sparked a government shutdown in April after a last minute dust-up. A report released last week by the pro-abortion group NARAL Pro-Choice America revealed that states enacted 67 measures restricting abortion in 2011.

Hundreds of pro-life activists gathered in Washington’s Lafayette Park on Sunday for a 90-minute event with featured speakers, music and a quick march along the White House’s north gate. CNN reports that former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee told the crowd the reason he got into politics is because he is “pro-life,“ and believes ”if we get this issue wrong, we will inevitably get all the other issues wrong, too.”

Thousands are expected to attend the annual March for Life rally against the Roe v. Wade decision in Washington Monday. NBC reports that the event has been deemed the largest and longest-running peaceful human rights demonstration for the unborn, with more than 100,000 expected to attend.

Speaker of the House John Boehner will make the event’s opening remarks, and released a statement earlier in the week on his position in regards to the issue.

“Respect for life has never been a political position for me: it’s who I am, and it’s who we are as a people,” Speaker Boehner said.  “The cause of life endures in large part due to the vigilance of the American people, especially those who, led by Nellie Gray, march and pray in our nation’s capital each year at this time.  It will be a great honor to address the March for Life as Speaker of the House and leader of its bipartisan pro-life majority.”

    Who isn’t pro life …..I mean really? Isn’t the issue really about whether or not the government should be funding the killing of unborn children called fetuses?Every woman who has an abortion except in the cases of Rape and threat to her life will account for their choices.

      Obviously those women who would murder their babies have nothing to do with the God the Imageless Spirit of Life even if they claim they do. Maybe they were not as innocent in these so called rape cases as they seemed? If a woman is capable of killings her child then I would say there is not much she is not capable of as far as deviousness goes?

      Are you a man or a woman? If a woman that I can accept your point of view as valid. It you are a man though, then I say that you cannot (having never experienced nor had the threat of getting raped) tell me that you know what is best for a woman that has been raped. You are really saying that you would force a woman to have a child that was forced on her, possibly causing her more pain and suffering? You cannot judge ones actions, especially if you have not been in their shoes. Also, you are saying that a woman should not get an abortion if her life is in danger even though in most cases the mother and the child would die? So you would risk your wife (if your a man) and your unborn child for the slight chance of having the child live? Or you would force your other children to grow up without their mother to possibly (no assurance) save an unborn child? I do not agree with most abortions but there are situations that I believe they are acceptable and necessary.

      Congratulations, you just proved that there are idiots both onthe liberal and conservative side of the spectrum. Are you really saying that if a woman decides to get an abortion of a baby forced upon them through rape that they may have somehow deserved what happened to them? I am sure if you have, or ever have a daughter and something that terrible happened to her you would think the same thing, no? It is people like you who give us real conservatives a bad name. Just pathetic.

      @NASAD or whatever. It is always a baby when people choose to deliver the baby and a fetus when they made up their mind to kill the baby. I have never heard a woman ask her children or her husband to come over and feel the fetus kick or move. It is always a baby. Now that we have that settled, when someone is raped and you decide not to carry the baby to term you are killing an innocent baby. It is total selfishness not to deliver the baby when there are so many loving people who would be more than willing to adopt that child if the woman carries it to term. There is NO excuse, including rape, not to deliver the baby you would be praised by most moral thinking people. Have you ever met a handicapped individual that wished his parents had aborted him/her? We should all learn from the handicapped, they have a lot to teach us. Go to Youtube and type in Eclipse of Reason by Dr. Bernard Nathanson (now deceased). Watch all 30 minutes, you will never utter the words Pro-Choice again without feeling foolish.

    1) Ask any doctor if he’s treating one patient or two when a woman is pregnant; the answer is two.

    2) If a doctor does anything to harm a fetus, that is a punishable offense.

    3) I was pro-choice back when the thought of getting pregnant was an inconvenience (God forgive me).

    4) I saw what others went through and it’s horrific and damaging – long term for the would-have-been mother and permanently for the would-have-been child.

    5) Go see “The Body” exhibit where they show fetus’ at all stages. This is scientific proof to me that abortion is murder.

      You don’t need to amend the constitution. This whole ordeal is to keep republicans and Democrats separate. It is sick and disgusting.

      The Supreme Court States in Roe v. Wade 410, U.S. 113, 158, “All this, together with our observation, supra, that throughout the major portion of the 19th century prevailing legal abortion practices were far freer than they are today, persuades us that the word ‘person,’ as used in the Fourteenth Amendment, does not include the unborn”

      All congress has to do is pass simple legislation declaring personhood and the abortion issue ends. A “person” would not become a citizen until born. However, the “person” would still be protected by the bill of rights and other laws protecting a “person” from violence.

      The only reason it hasn’t happened is because abortion is the clearest dividing line between republican and democrat.

      Here is some simple legislation easily passed in a republican house, republican senate, and a republican president, but they chose not to do it.

    Conservapedia says “Over his career, Santorum may have campaigned harder to help pro-abortion candidates than Planned Parenthood has! ”
    Santorum also voted yes on funding for Planned Parenthood and (prior to marrying Santorum) his wife shacked up with an abortion doctor who was 44 years her senior (in fact he delivered her).

    Ron Paul is correct in saying that abortion is an act of violence and like any other act of violence (e.g. murder, assault, etc…) should be legislated at the state level, meaning the immediate repeal of Roe v. Wade.

      I also agree with you that there are three people involved in any abortion decision, Mom, Dad, and child. I think a unanimous decision by all three should be required.

      How do you have the audacity to think you (being male) should be able to force a woman to have a child when it was concieved through rape? You who will never understand what a woman goes through when they are raped? What right do you have to force the possibility of more pain and suffering on someone who has suffered so much already? i am male too but I do not assume that I have any idea what it must be like to get raped or what would be best for the woman. I do not agree with abortion when the pregnancy is through the stupidity of the woman and man but there is no way I could make a woman have a forced child. You are as bad as the Repub. senator in some northern state that compared getting raped to getting a flat tire. That women should just be prepared for it. I am a conservative but I felt like punching him in the face for that comment. Until you know what it is a woman goes thorugh, which you never will, do not presume to be all knowing and know what is best for them. They should make the choice through much prayer and counciling.

      He exists FOR YOU, therefore he is responsible for abortions according to your beliefs.

      If you tell me you believe in fairies, and describe their qualities and characteristics, I can then give a response about those qualities and characteristics without actually believing in fairies.

      People do it all the time when they call Santa Claus “Jolly” and “Merry.” They are giving descriptions of him based on people’s beliefs….even though he doesn’t exist.

      Therefore, according to YOUR belief in a God, he would be responsible for those abortions. Since I don’t think there is a God, obviously I can’t hold him accountable for abortions.

      The fact is, IF there is a God, he would then be responsible for abortions because he is giving babies to women he knows will get an abortion.

    The last time I checked, the percentage of abortions perfomed due to rape, incest or to save the life of the mother is under 1 percent. If women want reproductive freedom they can use birth control or keep their knees together. The right to murder your own child is not a God given right or a right granted by the constitution. What fundamental constitutional right is Obama committed to protecting? Privacy regarding family matters maybe? Maybe thats why the administration wants start weighing our kids.

      Most of us do not hate welfare. We just want to make sure there are other more positive options, like the opportunity for success.

      13TH GEN-How about adoption instead of murder? Maybe the infertile couples in the U.S could adopt American babies instead of going overseas..

      God didn’t make us robots. He gave us the free will to make right AND wrong choices. Deep down I think we all know abortion is wrong. P.S. Like it or not, He’s your God too. I hope you will embrace that fact before you meet Him face to face.

      I think those who believe in god and those who don‘t should stop all the argue’ing..Niether can prove if there is or not a god. Because someone believes in god what do you care? Same goes for the otherside. It’s called freedom. Killing an unborn child is murder. Has nothing to do with god or no god.Sometimes it’s just common sense.

      “Tell your God to stop giving babies to women he knows will get an abortion!

      Easy as that.”

      Perhaps, rather than blaming God, we should concentrate more on those actually responsible for the problem at hand, namely those participating in the behavior that is the cause of abortion. Pregnancy should be no surprise to anyone engaging in sexual activity, as the sole biological purpose of that activity IS pregnancy. Even though skydiving has become much safer over the years, are we even minutely surprised when someone is hurt or killed when participating in that activity.
      I consider myself strongly pro-choice, in that by choosing to engage in sexual activity with another person, regardless of the equipment or technique involved to mitigate the risk, we have both tacitly agreed to have a child together, whether that happens or not in that encounter. If you are not willing to take the responsibility for that possibility, then you’re just not ready to be sexually active.
      MY god is logic, I think he would approve of my position, and I hope Moderationisbest could learn to worship him as well.

    Legalized abortion on demand is the most vile decision ever handed down by the Supreme Court.

    Abortion is anti-life and a sin against God who gives us life
    Now abortion on demand is used as birth control and is a multi billion dollar industry.
    Tax dollars should never be used to support this evil industry.

    The pro-death abortion crowd have now convinced thousands of women and young girls that destroying an unborn child is no more wrong than having a cancer removed. Those advocates
    of death will answer to God for the evil they have inspired.

    When a woman has had unprotected sex, she has made her choice. There can be no exceptions! Roe v Wade prove that. If there is an exception Lawyers will lie to get a woman an abortion. Jane Roe lied to get her abortion and her Lawyer knew it was a lie. Was the Lawyer disbarred? No, she was honored and applauded. The decision should be thrown out because of the lying witness. How many murders have been freed because someone lied in the trial? But, all these babies are still murdered and no one has the case over ruled.

    Just what is Barry’s Position??

    Uh,, Eh,,, My position is ,, that,,, no one ,, should be burdened with, uh ,, a eh,, baby. Partial Birth Abortion’s are specially needed as burdens are expensive,, even when someone else is paying the bill. And MY Barrycare will make sure that everyone will have to pay to murder burdens, , from day one till partial birth day. And Infanticide can swell my and the DEMOCRAT coffers, cause we can funnel some of those Killing funds to my reelection fund. We can kill two birds with one stone.

Everything else is fair game to the dempcraps and our clueless hypocrite president.

    Ron Paul is pro-life much more than any other contender. He will actually do something about it. He will force congress to repeal Roe V Wade with a constitutional amendment. No one else will get that job job. And he will do it while not occupying our minds with yet another senseless war and the costs that go with it.

    It would be a great day to enjoy prosperity and peace for a change, in a country that honors life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

      Ron Paul doesn’t need to get a Constitutional amendment to outlaw abortion, contrary to what the Republican establishment has told us for decades. We can repeal Roe v. Wade by legislatively removing abortion from the jurisdiction from the federal courts. Republicans wouldn’t do it 10 years ago when they had the chance. He would certainly push for it as president. However, I believe people like Santorum would let perfect be the enemy of good and wouldn’t go for something like this because they demand that the big federal government outlaws abortion in one fell swoop. Which is better, to fight for a blanket outlawing of abortion and losing or getting the issue back to the states so individual states can gradually outlaw it until it’s just entrenched in our culture that abortion is murder? I also question whether Republicans would oppose Ron Paul‘s idea because it keeps abortion a hot button issue in national elections and it’s a surefire way of getting pro-life people to turn out and vote Republican. I’m tired of voting for pro-life Republicans my entire life and seeing no progress on getting rid of Roe v. Wade. It’s all a game to these people.

      In this divided country, does anyone really believe a constitutional amendment is even possible anymore? Even if it is, it would take years. Meanwhile, babies are murdered every stinking day. So yeah Dr. Paul, I think your answer kind of sucks.
