It would be naive to imagine that the President would even think about appointing a person to the Supreme Court that would respect the dignity of life from conception to death. So this article from California Catholic Daily is hardly surprising."...“Elena Kagan has no judicial record from which to determine her position on Roe v.

ReplyDeleteWe have 984 days until this man leaves office. Considering the amount of damage that has already been inflicted, I can only sigh and pray about the remaining days.
