"A strict constructionist view would have issues like abortion dealt with by the states."

Probably.

But personally would support a global ban on abortions (including for rape and incest) except when life-threatening, so if the option of ending abortion nationally is available, would readily take that option.

Its a fascinating issue of how to deal with things like abortion, whether the federal government should intervene or it should be left to the states.

Those who oppose federal intervention like Huckabee supports, should be honest and say the Civil Rights laws of the 1964, 1965 were wrong, too.

Goldwater had the gonads to oppose that stuff in 1964.

But can you imagine the big radio talk show hosts saying that on the radio.

Martin Luther King’s birthday is here and its time to pretend he was a “conservative” to get black votes for the GOP.

So do we intervene because of the horrors of abortion or just stand aside and “leave it to the states?”

A debate no one wants to have as far as I can see.
