Pro-Life or Pro-Constitution

The Republican party proclaims itself the Pro-Life party, which would be fine if their candidates for office were running for jobs in their churches, synagogues or mosques. But they are running for offices in a multi-religious nation and their anti abortion and anti gay marriage positions come not from science and logic but from their interpretations of the Bible. And although the country was founded on Judeo-Christian principles, we are supposed to be a nation that welcomes all views and separates church and state. Either you are for the tenets of the Constitution or you are not. You can't have it both ways.

Besides, how does being Pro-Life or Pro-Choice create jobs, build roads, correct what ever needs to be corrected with  Health Care, Medicare, Social Security, Medicaid, the regulation of Wall Street, the banking and housing crisis and all the other problems that are holding America back from being as great as it can be.

Pro Life does create jobs....in the Vatican and consequently in the church. It also gathers votes by instilling fear in the congregation. If these church goers vote, the candidates who win get nice jobs.
Also, the more babies, the more profit for the formula and diaper guys and all the things that babies need. Jobs,jobs, jobs.
