Ideological preferences of yours aside (as in ‘due process’ which is abandoned by abortion in your view) it is STILL a STATE issue (just like most murders, crime, etc.).

Many abortion opponents talk about “the right to life, liberty and pursuit of happiness.” I agree. But that phrase is ONLY in the Declaration of Independence. It, particularly the right-to-life part, is NOT in the US Constitution anywhere.

You try the highest level crime first and then, if you’re like this sniveling government and want to punish what you can’t get under state laws, go for ‘infringements of civil rights,’ ‘due process’ and other made up ‘rights-to’-(take your pick.)

I just want to make the point that The Declaration is our founding document and came before the Constitution which expanded upon the tenets, ideas and beliefs of the signers. Who, if caught, would have hung for treason. There was much more at stake by signing the Declaration than the Constitution.

That being said even though I believe this to be a human right - Life - at this time in this nation and culture's existence, we need to focus on a state by state reversal of abortion by changing hearts, minds and laws one state at a time.
