[FairfieldLife] Re: Lynda Carter (Wonder Woman) on Sarah Palin
Lynda Carter is hardly a non-partisan. Her husband was a long-time associate of Clark Clifford who was the top adviser to Democrat presidents and the Democrat Party for decades. Indeed, they were so close that they were indicted and tried together in a sensational bank fraud case a number of years back (both were acquited if I remember correctly). --- In FairfieldLife@yahoogroups.com, do.rflex [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Interview for Philly Magazine: Excerpt: VICTOR FIORILLO: Okay, last question.

One ignoramus being judgmental about another ignoramus.

[snip] ...and I would presume that, even then, her position on abortion would be to overturn Roe v. Wade. But what overturning Roe v. Wade would do is simply turn it over to the individual 50 states to decide, which is where many experts feel it should have been left in the first place. Before the case was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1973 there were numerous states that allowed abortions. Interestingly, if memory serves me correctly, liberal New York State wasn't one of them; New York had had a pro-choice law but the state legislature overturned it at some point before Roe v. Wade was handed down. But I think that the whole emphasis on questioning candidates for president and VP stand on this issue and who they would therefore appoint to the Supreme Court is way overblown in terms of importance. Why? Because since Roe v Wade became law in 1973, 22 of those 35 years has seen a pro-life Republican president in office; of the 12 years held by Democrats, four of those years were administered by Jimmy Carter who is more pro-life than any of those Republicans. So 26 of the 35 years since Roe v. Wade were overseen by pro-life, anti-abortion presidents. 7 of the 9 current sitting Justices on the Supremme Court were appointed by those pro-life, anti-abortion Republican presidents. Yet in the 35 years since Roe V. Wade, of the 45 million abortions that has occured in the United States not one of those babies has been denied the pleasure of being sucked out of its mother's womb...DESPITE who was president. As George Will once observed: the president is not as powerful as people think he is...
