The Wednesday Read: State of the Union
This is the time to re-ignite the American imagination. This is the time to search for the tallest summit, and set our sights on the brightest star. This is the time to rekindle the bonds of love and loyalty and memory that link us together as citizens, as neighbors, as patriots. – President Donald J. Trump 02/05/19
President Donald J. Trump gave his State of the Union (SOTU) address last night. The speech lasted 1:22:25 making it the third-longest SOTU speech in history.
Here are some of my thoughts about his speech.
The Sunday Message
I’m against abortion. On the other hand, I believe in a woman’s choice. – Nancy Reagan
Many people felt that Nancy Reagan was trying to be on both sides of the abortion issue by what she said in that quote.
That seems to be the answer some people have these days – it’s kind of like “walk a mile in her shoes” before you judge.
One of the quotes that I like most that deals with abortion came from former U.S. Senator Alan Simpson of Wyoming:
I consider abortion to be a deeply personal and intimate issue for women and I don’t believe male legislators should even vote on the issue.
With the process of appointing a new member to the U.S. Supreme Court beginning this week, Gallup Polling released the results of a poll about Roe v. Wade:
As the U.S. Senate prepares to hold confirmation hearings for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh, the public is strongly opposed to any attempts to overturn Roe v. Wade, the landmark 1973 ruling that made abortion legal nationwide. Currently, 64% of Americans believe Roe v. Wade should stand, while 28% would like to see it overturned.
It’s not like the Justices of the Supreme Court check the polls before deciding a case.
