[QUOTE="seeking.IAM, post: 74431853, member: 27709"] Reality is POTUS, whoever she or he may be, faces limitations in ability to affect abortion law. POTUS does not make legistlation. On the Federal level, POTUS may sign or veto legislation that makes it through the legislature. Abortion laws may be made by State government. The best POTUS can do is wait for a vacancy on the Supreme Court to present itself during his/her administration - if it does at all - and appoint justices perceived to have an anti-abortion bent to act when and if a case comes before the Supremes for review. The rub is Supremes are appointed for life so they can be totally independent upon appointment, and vote the way they want irrespective of how POTUS thought they were going to vote at the time of their appointment. And at that, Supremes make decisions based upon the Constitution, not moral preference. So even though POTUS Trump's role in abortion law is fairly limited, some are willing to ignore all the other stuff about him and elect him anyway. [/QUOTE]
