Is it moral to have an abortion?? I can't answer that for you. You will need to make that decision yourself. But if any of the anti-abortion activists can answer one question for me I would like to hear the answer. How does an unborn fetus have more rights than a living human being? Any judge that would strike down Roe v Wade is a hack and an activist judge. From what I have read this man would use the gavel to force his moral beliefs on to other people completely abandoning the US constitution. This is text book unAmerican.

The problem is how Dan appears to not want to make judgments based on the constitutions of the state and country, but on a particular religious text. We don't live in a theocracy. And whatever feeble arguments anyone wants to make about this being a 'Christian Nation', we have a secular constitution. We are not, for example, forbidden from working on any particular day of the week. Or from eating shellfish. Or wearing mixed cloth. Or swearing at our parents. We are NOT however, permitted to keep slaves. These are all positions in which our constitution and the bible differ. The problem isn’t Dan’s religion.

I never saw it before today. You found a reference that I believe in God and attend a church and that made me a, "stealth religious right candidate?" WHAT WERE YOU TALKING ABOUT? If you want to know about me and why I ran please call me and look at my website www.griffithforjudge.com. You have a right to free speech, not false speech. Don't be afraid. Give me a call. I strongly believe that our public servants need to be accountable to the people. That judges should APPLY the law, not rewrite it. I hope to hear from you. Dan Andy Birkey,
