Except the way it works, is one step forward and two steps back, for conservatives.
Persons are persons Mojave. No matter how much dirt you throw up in the air, God still says “Thou shall not murder.” The Declaration’s assertion of self-evident truth has not changed. The Constitution’s purpose is still to secure the Blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity. The Bill of Rights still forbids the killing of persons without a conviction on a capital offense after a fair trial. And the Fourteenth says what it says. It’s the Supreme Law of the Land, even if you don’t like it.
Those however define core beliefs, without them, why bother? You have became them.
Yeah, you posted some more after my post to your post, and I see where you are coming from now, har har.
I reckon my point is that “voting with your feet” as regards to pro baby butchery states doesn’t seem to do much for those stuck there in the womb. And the national argument at least needs to be talked about now, and just getting rid of roe isn’t the be all end all that lotsa folks think it is. And all levels of gubberment must never infringe or allow the infringement of the inalienable rights of folks.
Freegards
When will Steele get tired of making an ass of himself and get around to DOING HIS FREAKING JOB?!?! It must be fun to be getting all of this attention, maybe he believes there really is no such thing as bad press. But how is that fundraising going, Mr. Steele? How bad will the press look when the Republican party has to *fire* their first African American RNC head?
When Keyes endorsed a “type” of “reparations” for descendants of slaves, he forfeited his whole philosophy.
Hogwash.
Under their robes, the judges were emanating from their own penumbras.
I well remember my first reaction to the announcement of Roe. "The old people are next," and sure enough, we are getting there just in time for me.
What we have compromised ourselves into, is unforgivable.
Next. Bring on J.C. Watts, or Lynn Swann.
Do you believe abortion is an unalienable right?
Of course not.
The right to life is God-given and therefore unalienable. The defense of innocent human life is the very purpose of human government. These are the cornerstone principles of this free republic.
True insight. Keyes is his own worst enemy and Steele is proving the Peter Principle true.
And state laws protected the rights of the unborn for centuries, while the 14th Amendment in the hands of the federal judiciary erased those protections and killed millions.
You stand with Blackmun and the enemies of orginal intent; I'll take Rehnquist.
"The only conclusion possible from this history is that the drafters did not intend to have the Fourteenth Amendment withdraw from the States the power to legislate with respect to this matter."--William Rehnquist, Roe v. Wade: Dissent
The states created this problem. If they hadn’t begun to allow the killing of innocents, in abrogation of the most important principles that make America America, in defiance of the clear provisions of our Declaration and Constitution, the Supreme Law of the Land, and in complete discord with their own constitutions, this wouldn’t have become an issue.
Like most Americans now, you’re very confused.
Pure BS.
Backwards. The leftists on the Supreme Court blocked the state protections of the lives of the unborn (the ONLY legal protections there ever were), your infatuation with an unlimited 14th Amendment transfer of police powers to the state notwithstanding.
“The only conclusion possible from this history is that the drafters did not intend to have the Fourteenth Amendment withdraw from the States the power to legislate with respect to this matter.”—William Rehnquist, Roe v. Wade: Dissent
You’re describing round two, when the Supreme Court failed in their sworn duty to protect innocent human life, as per the Constitution. As I said, you’re very confused.
