It's a baby, not a choice

I believe that it's a baby and not a choice. In fact, I believe that the billion-dollar-a-year industry of abortion is an abomination and further that Planned Parenthood should not receive $300,000,000 + tax dollars each year.

I believe that appointed judges should be those who believe the United States Constitution is the greatest document ever derived by man and is not a "living, breathing" instrument which changes to suit the times in which we live.
