Abortion & the election.John Garvey makes abortion out to be the central issue of the current presidential election. Yet should Bush or Kerry be elected president in November, abortion will, unfortunately, still be legal in America; the Supreme Court has ruled it to be so. The president cannot change that. This election is not a referendum on abortion. This election is a referendum on the policies of the Bush administration--policies which have been virulently antilife. During each year of the Bush presidency, the number of Americans living below the poverty line has increased; so has the number Americans without health insurance. Bush's tax cuts for the wealthiest Americans have resulted in the severe under-funding of programs targeted at helping the poor and the vulnerable. And now, because of those tax cuts, America is running an enormous deficit. Of course the most damning aspect of the Bush presidency is the unjust UNJUST. That which is done against the perfect rights of another; that which is against the established law; that which is opposed to a law which is the test of right and wrong. 1 Toull. tit. prel. n. 5; Aust.
