Easy to see where they stand on abortion

Posted November 04, 2016 1:00 am

For those voters for whom a candidate's position on abortion would make a significant impact on whether or not you would vote for them, I humbly point out to those who may not yet be aware that both Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump made their positions very clear on this issue within the first 10 minutes of their most recent debate.

Hillary Clinton stated that she strongly supports Roe v. Wade and that it is important to her that it not be reversed, indicating she is very much in favor of abortion remaining legal in this country. On the other hand, Donald Trump stated that he is pro-life and would appoint new Justices to the Supreme Court who are pro-life.

Faced with the choice between these two candidates for president, it becomes an easy choice for those of us who recognize abortion as an intrinsic evil because snuffs out the lives of the most defenseless human beings, making it a much more important issue than the economy or immigration.
