Kalifornistan can be pro-choice if its voters decide this is what they want. But by the same token liberals should keep hands off states that wish to restrict or ban abortion. Fair is only fair.

[nickcarraway]

No state was allowed to have a law that slavery was legal after the Supreme Court decided it was unconstitutional. Oops, the Supreme Court never decided that- they just decided it was legal in 1857.

Before Roe every state set its own policy in respect to abortion. That's how it should be under our federal system. I strongly object to liberals imposing a one size fits all abortion on demand policy on every state regardless of how it wants to handle abortion under its laws. The people of California are certainly within their rights as a state to have abortion on demand but it doesn't give them leave to dictate what arrangements people in Kansas or Georgia may have about the matter. If Roe were overturned by the U.S Supreme Court tomorow, we would simply revert to the pre 1973 situation in which each state had its own policy on the subject. Its hardly the end of the world scenario the pro-choice lobby has averred for about for years but the idea that some Americans would think differently from them is intolerable and must be stopped. The irony of how this is exactly far from respecting "choice" in the law keeps eluding them.

It's amazing, the lengths some people will go to so they can be free to murder babies...
Just how sick is this scumbag, Sheila Kuehl?
And how sick is the California legislature?
And how sick is Calif...

Oh. Nevermind.

Isn't California where lots of missing children are?

Before Roe every state set its own policy in respect to abortion.

While I agree 100% with your statement, how can the California Assembly and Senate pass a law on any matter that would prevent a future legislature from passing legislation that would repeal the previous legislature's law? I would think that it would actually require a constitutional ammendment to the California Contitution not an ordinary bill.

[Paleo Conservative]

I wonder how many Freepers know the year California passed legislation legalizing some abortions and who was the governor who signed it. I know the answers.

[punkit]

That would be Reagan.

[punkit]

1967.

[Paleo Conservative]

Punkit is correct on both answers. Posts 10 and 11.

A Republican friend forwards a press release dated June 13, 1967, and signed by then-Gov. Reagan's press secretary Lyn Nofziger. It began, "Governor Ronald Reagan announced today that he will sign a bill liberalizing California's abortion laws ..."

Reagan was quoted as saying. "I am fully sympathetic with attempts to liberalize the outdated abortion law now on the law books of California." He described the goals of the liberalized law as "humanitarian."

Abortion issue looms as real trouble for Republican Party in 2000

"California has some of the worst laws on abortion in the country," says Dorka Keehn, West Coast director for Voters for Choice. "Most people would be shocked by what would happen here if there were a turnaround of Roe."

..............

Right now, the prevailing abortion law in California is the Therapeutic Abortion Act, signed in 1967 by then-Gov. Ronald Reagan. The law legalized abortion in the state under limited conditions only: It requires the procedure to take place in a hospital, within the first 20 weeks of pregnancy, and only in cases of rape, incest, or if the life or mental health of the mother is at risk.

The Senate, meanwhile, passed a bill requiring California medical schools to offer abortion training in order to keep their accreditation.
