Abortion
The Republican Party will never nominate a pro-choice candidate for president. The Democratic Party will most likely nominate a pro-choice candidate, who believes that abortion must be safe, legal, and rare, which is the mainstream values in this country.
South Dakota’s Republican Governor Mike Rounds, said: "I've indicated I'm pro-life, and I do believe abortion is wrong and that we should do everything we can to save lives," He signed into law a bill that passed his state’s House and Senate, which would make performing an abortion a felony punishable by four years in prison.
Gov. Rounds believes that a gradual approach, with measures like parental and spousal notification laws and waiting periods, would probably be more successful at preventing abortions. He understands that there are others in the "pro-life camp" who believe the wisest strategy is a direct challenge to the 1973 Supreme Court decision that made abortion legal.
Leaders at Planned Parenthood Federation of America, which operates the only abortion clinic in the state have pledged to file suit immediately. They will seek an injunction to block the law from being implemented and it’s anticipated the court battle will last for last years.
Abortion rights advocates said they were disappointed that Gov. Rounds supports a measure, which allows exceptions only for cases in which a pregnant woman's life is in jeopardy. No exceptions for rape or incest are in the bill.
Unfortunately, the only issue that matter to many evangelical Christians and papistical Catholics is that abortion be banned. Because of this religious view no other issues seem to matter, and they are unwilling to recognize that they’re imposing their religious dogma on Americans, that do not share their faith. Some of these Christians and Catholics accept the devastation in Iraq as inevitable because of their faith in Bush. To them voting is a matter of religion not politics. In this situation, Karl Marx's famous quote: ''Religion is the opiate of the people." has validity.
