Some argue that the POTUS's view on abortion doesn't matter because the President has little influence over it. This is not true. The president can use the bully pulpit to influence public opinion, curb abortion through executive orders, sign legislation, and nominate pro-life justices to the federal courts.
During the recent GOP presidential debate, candidates made excuses for their unwillingness to act on abortion by stating that the issue is now in the hands of the states to decide. This is a cop-out!
The fact is the US Constitution already protects preborn children.
The 14th Amendment reads:
No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
States have recognized pre-born children as "persons" at all stages of pregnancy. Protection for preborn children was rooted in British Common Law. The authors of the amendment included the preborn as persons.
Despite the battle being mostly in the states currently, that doesn't absolve candidates for president from stating clearly that the federal government has a role to play in outlawing abortion.
