Now personally I consider myself to be pretty solidly pro choice, but regardless of where you stand, do you think Americans are wasting time by debating abortion?
There has been a lot of talk about whether you should vote for Barak Obama or Mitt Romney based on their stance on abortion. But is it even relevant?
No President can outlaw abortion. Abortion was legalized in America thanks to Roe V. Wade, and that was a supreme court decision. Congress can't trump the supreme court, and nor can the president.
I doubt Bush (either of them), Reagan, or any other conservatives that were president after Roe V. Wade liked abortion, but they couldn't outlaw it anyway. Because again, it's a supreme court decision, the president can't do anything about it.
So I hear religious groups trying to get abortion outlawed, even though it's obviously never going to happen (unless the supreme court magically changes their mind one day) meanwhile women's rights groups fiercely defending abortion, as if its legality is actually in any danger. It's not.
