The next step after that would be to try to pass a constitutional amendment against abortion in all states. But that would be a much, much tougher and longer and less likely thing to pull off. The first step, which realistically could be done in the foreseeable future with the right SC appointments, is to overturn Roe v. Wade. Let's start there. Baby steps (pun intended).
The Tenth Amendment does not in any way allow the killing of innocent persons, or exclude any officer of government, at any level or in any branch, from their first duty, which is to equally protect the God-given, unalienable rights of the people, starting with the supreme right, the right to live. The Amendment only deals with the legitimate powers of the national and state governments and the people. It does not confer illegitimate powers.
There is no legitimate power to destroy innocent human life. Never has been, never will be.
This principle is the foundation of our form of government and our national claim to liberty.
Ron Paul, echoing Stephen A. Douglass and Gerald R. Ford, has filled millions of Americans’ heads with this nonsense, but it simply isn’t true.
