So it'll be a states rights deal.

First of all, THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS "STATES RIGHTS". ONLY PEOPLE HAVE RIGHTS, states have enumerated powers granted by we the People.

Secondly, the 14th Amendment forever ended any notion that states should be allowed to decide if babies can be murdered there or not. If a baby is a person, and that is an undeniable truth, he or she is a person regardless of geographical location.

There is PRECISELY ONE WAY to end the American Holocaust, and that is for either Congress to pass legislation or the President to sign an executive order recognizing the inherent personhood of the preborn. There is no reason to involve any court and Blackmun made this clear in the Roe v. Wade opinion.

For over four decades the self-proclaimed "pro-life movement" has done little more than work to keep abortion "SAFE AND LEGAL AND RARE." ALL of the laws they put forth are done so with the full knowledge that they won't prevent a single abortion.

A truly pro-life president will sign an executive order immediately after being sworn in that recognizes personhood and order the immediate closing of all abortuaries. This authority exists and there is clear precedent for it.

All of this sophistry about rape, incest and the life of the mother is nothing more than pandering by the self-proclaimed "pro-life movement" to satisfy their base with yet another "and then you can kill the baby" law. The notion of executing a child for the crimes of its parents is one that is typically espoused by despotic regimes like North Korea, so why would we suggest it for the children of rapists? As far as "life of the mother" goes, it's been established that childbirth itself sometimes leads to death and an abortionist can use that claim to justify anything.
