Uh, it’s called Federalism. Roe v Wade took away the rights of the states to decide. Meanwhile, at this time a constitutional amendment is unattainable. But if it goes back to the states, local politics can hone in on changes for the good of the unborn. Fred wants to nominate judges who will overturn Roe v Wade.

Neither federalism nor incrementalism are adequate excuses for being against a Human Life Amendment and a Protection of Marriage Amendment.

There is a constitutional (thus, federalist) way of such a thing, just as there was, to guarantee freedom from slavery -- in each and every state and territory.

People who do not understand that our Constitution rests upon our founding declaration of the Right to Life have a flawed political stance -- likely tragically so.

All or nothing huh?

Good luck with that.

I’m a lot happier with a lot of small steps. Sure works well for the left. Ten thousand left wing Lilliputian steps have tied our country into knots. We need to do the same, in reverse. Plus, it is in step with our Founding Fathers vision.

Even if you were correct in each and every one of your statements, you have still reached an incorrect, self-defeating, and ultimately assinine all-or-nothing conclusion. A journey of one thousand miles begins with a single step but you apparently want to stay in the killing grounds until you can magically make the journey in a single leap.

The rest of us in the real world encourage you to join us in making a REAL difference. In the REAL world.

Please tell us how your candidate will trump Roe vs. Wade and outlaw abortion in all 50 states. We’re all ears...

Ah...

That explains why there is a single national murder law...

Oh wait...

You tout the Founding Fathers on your home page. Maybe it is time you actually read their work. You will find you are half right.

“When I began entering into the give and take of legislative bargaining in Sacramento, a lot of the most radical conservatives who had supported me during the election didn’t like it. “Compromise” was a dirty word to them and they wouldn’t face the fact that we couldn’t get all of what we wanted today. They wanted all or nothing and they wanted it all at once. If you don’t get it all, some said, don’t take anything. I’d learned while negotiating union contracts that you seldom got everything you asked for. And I agreed with FDR, who said in 1933: ‘I have no expectations of making a hit every time I come to bat. What I seek is the highest possible batting average.’ If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that’s what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it.” - Ronald Reagan, An American Life (autobiography)
