To alienate innocent human life is to show that you have no respect for any natural right of any man.
I agree completely. Steele seems addicted to being in front of a microphone or a TV camera, and like Biden, we get one gaff after another, followed with “what I really meant was...”
The Republicans have a fair chance to recapture the House next year. Steele should be spending his time recruiting strong candidates and raising funds.
Whatever rights aren’t specifically innumerated in the declaration or constitution just like the founders wanted. RVW should be overturned.
I agree with Steele here - legally, Roe v. Wade violates the 10th Amendment of the Constitution. The feds had no standing to make some blanket ruling on Abortion on behalf of the States.
You want to make a cesspool out of MA, then let them abort all the babies they want. However, give the rest of us who think its murder the opportunity to live and work in states that think its murder.
Translation: "Whoops...I said 'individual'.....uh, I meant the STATES....yeah INDIVIDUAL states...that's it!"
Steele is such an utter moron. I said he was an unreliable RINO, soft on guns, and sounded like a dumb jock when we were considering a new GOP head. I was called a racist. Now, unfortunately, I am being proven right on a weekly basis.
It's obvious that you know little about the Constitution, or that you have ever read the Ninth Amendment with comprehension.
The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
You sure are intent on making sure the Left has a poster boy for Republican intolerance. The Demorcats are desperate for us to oust this man. You and all the Steele bashers are dupes.
I like your answer!
Such a position is the death of the United States of America, the dissolution of the Union, and the end of liberty in this country.
That includes your liberty.
Ironic, considering the con job he's running on you.
You just made my point, thanks. RvW should be overturned.
You’re also ignorant of what the Tenth Amendment actually says and means. Like so many who hold your position, you’ve failed to give even passing thought to the first clause.
True. I cannot think of any exercise more useless than for the GOP and conservatives to continue to carp about themselves and each other. We lost in 2006. We lost in 2008. We are in the wilderness, folks. Grab a map and join the expedition to get out of the wilderness or shut up.
Funny how none of these questons or other anal probes were used against Mike Duncan. Carville and Begala will get another GOP scalp courtesy of their brothers on this site.
Steele screwed up. He shouldn’t have gotten all “nuanced” in this interview.
There is nothing to be gained by playing dipsy-doodle with the left. He should have used this as an opportunity to instruct the folks on the reality of abortion and why he is opposed to “this choice”.
Now he is going to spend another month off the issues.
Steele’s position destroys the entire moral, intellectual and legal basis for even overturning Roe. You’re deceived.
“No person shall be… deprived of life, liberty, of property, without due process of law…”
Please tell us where abortion is listed as an "inalienable right"? Certainly not in the Constitution, nor by the Founders, nor by current US law. Five folk in robes foolishly found it as an emanation of a penumbra, but little more.
Secondly, the poster said "MOST things". They did not say ALL things.
Third, the Tenth Amendment is pretty clear. You might try reading it sometime.
Yes, and considering how thoroughly he was clobbered back then it makes one wonder why anyone is listening.
The repubs elected him to this post. Let them smell his stinky ilk and move on with first getting rid of him and second electing a CONSERVATIVE that will move the party forward, not looking for reparation. Obama will take care of that.
