This election is America's last hope to reverse Roe v. Wade. Upon its outcome will rest the life, or death, of millions of unborn children. The great social cause of the Catholic Church and the Knights of Columbus, of the Evangelical and Pentecostal churches, of the entire right-to-life movement, hangs today in the balance.Read his article here.
Why? It is not just that Obama is a pro-choice absolutist who defends the grisly procedure known as partial-birth abortion, who backs a Freedom of Choice Act to abolish every restriction in every state, who even opposed a born-alive infant protection act.
Nor is it because Joe Biden is a NARAL Catholic who has...supported a women's "right" to abortion, the exercise of which right has ended the lives of 45 million unborn.
Nor is it even because McCain professes to be pro-life, or Gov. Palin is a woman who not only talks the talk but walks the walk of life.
No. The reason this election is the last chance for life is the Supreme Court. For it alone -- given the cowardice of a Congress that refuses to restrict its authority -- has the power to reverse Roe, and because that court may be within a single vote of doing so.
Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, Sam Alito and Chief Justice John Roberts appear steeled to overturn Roe and return this most divisive issue since slavery to the states, where it resided until January 1973....
If Roe goes, all things are possible. If Roe remains, all is lost....
Buchanan's points must be taken seriously if we are to begin to return to that period of our history when we were a nation in which "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness" were more than just words. The most abominable crimes of genocide and infanticide against the most innocent and defenseless little ones among us will be our continued curse if our actions or inactions allow B. Hussein Obama to occupy the Oval Office.

This article overstates the issue.
The government is not Our Lord. Whether or not Roe v. Wade is overturned or is not overturned, it will do nothing to end or support abortion. I believe Roe v. Wade should be overturned. However, I also realize that a mere Government ban on a thing does not make that thing disappear. It only pushes that thing into an illegal status. So Roe vs. Wade could be overturned. And even state governments could make abortion illegal. However, that will not make abortion vanish. Abortion will continue, but will be done under illegal, unregulated status.
Christians must focus on making abortion NOT HAPPEN. Do not simply pass a ban, and assume that therefore abortion will vanish. It will not. Abortion will continue, but it will be performed under unregulated circumstances.
