The most important question for both newly elected Republican governors that neither has answered…but should!
Republicans Chris Christie defeated billionaire incumbant John Corzine for governor of New Jersey and Bob McDonnel looks as though he will beat Democrat Clare Deeds for governor of Virginia. Both states went strongly last year for Obama.
Almost without exception, every Republican and conservative pundit I have heard on TV tonight has credited these Republican victories to voters widespread opposition to Obama’s and the Democrat’s tax-and-spend socialist policies (ObamaCare, The “Stimulus,” TARP, Cap-and-Trade etc…). And while these Republicans who were elected to govern their states tonight may improve the economies in both states (a good thing), the real question that nobody in the entire conservative media has asked is:
While both Christie and McDonnell both claim to be pro-life (although neither even mentions the sanctity of human life on their web site’s “issues page”), will either Republican governor who was elected uphold their constitutional oath to protect and defend the inalienable right to life for every human being in the womb and enforce the right to life for every human being in the states of Virginia and New Jersey by immediately closing down every abortion mill in each state?

To: Gregg JacksonNo one is asking that question because it’s a stupid question in light of how and why these people won. And to seriously call on these governors to close down every abortion provider immediately is absurd.
I’m pro-life. It’s a serious issue. Your analysis isn’t.
To which I responded:
Really Kit?
Asking a governor to uphold his sworn oath to protect and defend the constitution, which is the Supreme Law of the Land, and enforce the inalienable right to life, is “stupid?”
Why do you believe, as a self-styled “pro-lifer,” Kit, that governors don’t have the obligation to enforce the right to life from conception to natural death they have sworn an oath in front of God Almighty to enforce?
And, if killing babies is a violation of their inalienable right to life (which I am assuming you, as a pro-lifer, believe) which they possess once they become human beings (at the very moment of conception), why is it “stupid” for me to expect that the chief executive officer of the state responsible for upholding the state and federal constitution, actually close down the abortion mills where those babies are daily being murdered?
Still waiting for Kit to reply. Something tells me not to hold my breath…
