Since Sarah is a ‘state’s rights’ advocate, would returning power back to the states not be a good first step?

States have no legitimate power to alienate unalienable rights. If they did, those rights would hardly be unalienable, would they?

And the Fourteenth Amendment makes it clear that every state has an imperative obligation to protect the right to life of every single person, and to provide for the equal protection of the laws to all. Mrs. Palin seems not to understand that fact.

Her position is also one hundred and eighty degrees out of phase with her own party’s personhood prolife Fourteenth Amendment plank, which was put there by Reagan 26 years ago.

"State's rights" do not trump the unalienable rights of the people.
