"My position is consistent. I support states making the decision."

So I guess she's for people in each state deciding abortion, too? /s

Actually, she wants activist judges to make the decisions for us dolts.

Exactly!

By her logic, abortion should be decided by the states, without question or discussion. Unlike marriage, abortion is not a "right" (ahem) that potentially can be enforced through the reciprocity clause.

IOW, one of the only constitutional arguments for determining the legal definition of marriage at the federal level, as opposed to the states, is that if one state recognizes a critical legal status such as marriage, it then becomes incumbant upon other states---which otherwise would not desire to do so---to recognize that status as well.

No one can try to force one state to recognize their "right" to an abortion in another state. Yet MRS BILL CLINTON panders that marriage, a legal status that is without practicality if it can't be recognized throughout the union, should be decided by the states, but abortion--which is nowhere near something that concerns the reciprocity clause---according to MRS BILL CLINTON must be decided not only by the feds, but by the Supreme Court.

Ugh.
