I've been as prolife as anyone here, and I've paid my dues, and unfortunately Perry is right-- the overthrow of Roe would mean that each state will determine its own position on abortion. Some will outlaw it completely, some will retain the unfettered Roe position. Some will fall in between. That's life in a democratic republic.

Yes, and that what Federalism is all about. It's what the founders intended for the Country. If each state is in essence a laboratory, then we have a chance to see what works and what does not. States like New York and California can pass all the wacky legislation and suffer the consequences. That's what's happening today. Texas is "eating California's Lunch". Companies are leaving California and moving to Texas in substantial numbers. This is driving Jerry Brown nuts (yes, I know he's already nuts and needs not to be driven). But if California persists in it's stupidity, it will ultimately collapse. That's a good thing. California should collapse. It wouldn't be the end of the world. The other states can learn what not to do.

People would start to move to states where the state government is sane. I've got a prediction, Wisconsin will soon begin to reap benefits from what's going on there. Businesses will find it a more attractive place to locate or expand now that they have a first rate governor and a seemingly sane legislature. Let's hope they can keep it up and not regress.

Yes, I know there are problems here with Federalism. Not the least of which is the same type of people who destroyed New York and California will move to Texas and Wisconsin and begin the process of destroying those places.

So we should just accept Free and Slave states again?

I respectfully disagree with slavery and believe the unborn are due the full protections accorded under the 14th amendement.

Yes, the 10th is important, but a child in NY is no less valuable than one in TX.

I agree...and I said so last night at a GOP meeting, as did many others.....
