http://www.csmonitor.com/2007/1022/p01s02-uspo.htmlThe Religious Right is having a tough time this year deciding on what 2008 Presidential candidate they should back- the good news is that most GOP candidates show support for the two major issues in the movement, opposition to abortion rights and support for traditional marriage. The bad news, as they put it, is that the leading Republican in the polls, Rudy Giuliani, is not behind either of those issues- Giuliani supports abortion rights, and although he does not want to legalize same-sex marriage he supports rights for same-sex couples. "With the next president likely to replace two or more Supreme Court justices, including some who support abortion rights, the opportunity of a generation to overturn the nationwide right to abortion, established in Roe v. Wade, could be lost." This is the main issue of this election, and a dilemma is forming among Evangelical Christians- if they do not vote for Giuliani, that would give more votes to Clinton, and it would be worse for them if Clinton won than Giuliani. Maybe if Evangelical Christians looked at other issues besides these couple social ones they would find other reasons to vote for a Presidential candidate. Maybe the focus should be taken away from abortion and gay marriage and realise that there are other things our nation has to worry about as well.
