“The way I look at it, it’s kind of a power issue,” Weld said. “And who wants a lot of big, fat, white guys who live in Washington 700 miles away making the decision about what’s going to happen about a family pregnancy where the family has basis for some views and maybe wants to terminate the pregnancy any issue in society.”
Wouldn't we all be better off if the federal government did less and let us make decisions locally? And wouldn't his logic imply state regulation of abortion is better than federal level control via law or court cases?
That is absolutely not the point Weld intended to make. Never mind the fact that it was the Supreme Court in DC who forced abortion on the whole union, and also never mind the fact that the fight against that is occurring at state level against usurped power in DC.
Even worse, he puts it in the context of “family”. Families do not seek to abort babies, which is an anti-family practice.
