It is absolutely a phony "state's rights" issue just like slavery was. Killing the innocent is never a right that be can granted or exercised objectively speaking.
The STATES handle laws concerning murder, homicide, manslaughter, etc.
Why not abortion?
Yes, the Feds have their claws in every aspect of our lives, but State medical licences, etc., are still under the control of the various states. Sanctions which impact those licenses should, likewise, be handled at the State level.
If we are to outlaw abortion, do we allow for exceptions?
What if NO exceptions means that no law can pass?
Do not forget that, should one member of a jury think that a 14 year old who was raped by her brother, is in the 1st Trimester, and has been diagnosed with cervical tumors, thinks an abortion SHOULD be allowed, that jury member has the absolute right to refuse to convict the prosecutor, the doctor or the mother and family involved.
Get off of your moral high-horses.
I am prolife.
However, I realize that any laws we pass MUST have political support, or those laws will be ignored.
Alan Keyes is a crack-pot kook who does not want progress on the prolife issue.
Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton are race hustlers, who do not want real progress on race relations.
Alan Keyes is a prolife hustler, taking advantage of the naive in order to keep his face in the spotlight.
Yeah, it was the problem with Fred as well. Exact same issue.
I sure hope Palin isn’t listening to these folks. They are completely and utterly wrong!
