I'd like to clarify, I don't think you can across the board call these murdered children "unwanted". They are unwanted by the people who gave them life. There are many many people who would like to be given the opportunity to adopt. If that is true, then why are there so many unwanted children already born, who have not been adopted? If a childless couple or even persons with children already, want to adopt so bad, there are many parentless children waiting to be adopted. The adoption process in this country sort of sucks. It's really really expensive. Waiting lists are very long, and there is a lengthy background checking process (not that there shouldn't be, just pointing out its there).

What I do not understand is why the Republicans are still choosing presidential candidates on the litmus test of abortion rights and gay marriage when those are now settled law (in once case, for over 40 years). Does anyone really think the SC is going to go back and overturn those decisions just because there's a Republican in the White House? Even when Scalia was alive they showed no signs of doing so. These things are the law of the land. The rights to abortion and to same-sex marriage have been deemed constitutional. Why, then, are GOP voters still insisting on candidates who do not support the established law of the land? How is that helpful? How does that move forward the business of our nation? I am just so frustrated with the party of "we didn't get what we wanted/didn't get to impose our religious views on the population any longer, so we're going to keep fighting that battle over and over in the hopes that the outcome might change." Definition of insanity, anyone? Good gravy, get over it and move on. We have other fish to fry. Agreed.

I wonder why it took so long for many to see Trump for what he is. Had people watched and listened, the man revealed his character very early in the race by insulting Carly Fiorina's looks, making fun of a reporter with disabilities, attacking Muslims and Hispanics, but that didn't reveal his character until he talked about grabbing white women's pussies?
From his announcement to run, I saw him as a joke. The GOP has lost excellent presidential candidates that would not have made us look like a laughing stock to the rest of the world. I have voted Republican since I could vote, and I am greatly grieved.
My morality has always been there and tied to my faith. I see people I have respected, good people, fall for this horrible candidate. They post things in Facebook justifying his words and actions to vote for the party platform. It's horrible.
