So who is this Princeton Professor?
Although I live close to his place of employment I will have use other's point of view.
From the Christian Post article written July 26, 2013 by Tyler O'Neil
Conservative Princeton Law Prof. Robert P. George Is New USCIRF Chair; Democrat Predecessor Praises Successor
"The United States Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF) announced earlier this week its new chair, Princeton Professor of Jurisprudence Robert P. George, a conservative intellectual who even Democrats laud as a good pick.
"I really think he's a remarkable person," Katrina Lantos Swett, former USCIRF chair and president and CEO of the Lantos Foundation for Human Rights and Justice, told The Christian Post in an interview Thursday. "It's really hard to imagine someone who is more respectful and more earnest and sincere in engaging people with whom he may disagree."

Sounds like a very honorable man. So, why doesn't he trust DDT? Extreme portrayal of his own standards. "I would never do that" comes to mind. God has a way of making us eat our words.
Read Prof. George's opinion of DDT's claims to being pro-life with so many exceptions.
"The Republican base is pro-life—solidly, fervently so. To win the Party's nomination, Trump—a life-long abortion supporter and Planned Parenthood enthusiast—therefore had to pretend to have experienced a Pauline conversion to the pro-life cause. To make sure everyone knew how deep and sincere his conversion was, he yesterday stated that women who have abortions should be punished. But in saying this, he gave himself away, just as Mitt Romney had done [when he said he was a "severe conservative"].https://www.firstthings.com/web-exclusives/2016/03/trump-is-no-pro-lifer
Another commentary on DDT's wooing of the "evangelical" republican base was made by Michael Farris who is Chancellor of Patrick Henry College.
"Trump has been all over the map on the biggest political issues of the day, including those most important to evangelical voters. His views on the sanctity of life, the definition of marriage, policies related to transgender individuals, limited government and religious freedom appear to have been written on an Etch A Sketch. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews a few months ago, he took at least three conflicting positions on abortion in a 24-hour period. It’s hard to know where he stood on the issue of gay marriage prior to 2000. I defy anyone to define exactly where he stands on the issue of transgender use of public restrooms. Maybe his fluctuations help him avoid getting pinned down to firm positions on sensitive issues, but it also makes it easy to conclude that he’s not a man of principle — and that at his core he’s a salesman who will say whatever it takes to close the deal."
Amen, Brother! That quote is an exerpt. Again, as you should do when reading Scripture, read the whole chapter or book, in this case the whole article.
