The abortion issue was settled 40 years ago by the courts.
Before that it was a state issue not a presidential one.
Authority to issue marriage licenses to gay people rests with
the states and not Obama. The President is a family man who does
not promote or celebrate promiscuilty. We have lower
unemployment than most of our major trading partners and 143
million Americans are working. It's true that we used to have
fewer divorces and unwed mothers than we do now, but that's
mainly because the strong social stigmas evaporated voluntarity
not by a presidential executive order or Congressional act. I
think it's better to indoctrinate children to reason clearly
rather than promote the bias of their ancestors. Freedom, if it
means anything, is the freedom to choose.
