I think most pro-life people now think the best shot is simply to get the 'right' to an abortion removed and let each individual state pass its own law, which is what the situation was prior to Roe. A constitutional amendment that strengthens the 10th amendment and specificaly mentions abortion as one of the issues the federal government cannot regulate is probably the best approach at this point in time.
Gibberish.
No one has a right to an abortion, one has a right to privacy, and in that context banning abortion is un-Constitutional. And one can not ‘strengthen’ an amendment with another amendment, the 10th Amendment would have to be repealed, rewritten, then the Constitution amended with the ‘28th Amendment.’ Last, it is not ‘Federal regulation,’ it’s the upholding of the Constitution with regard to the rule of law, the cornerstone of our Constitutional Republic.
And the right to privacy isnÂ’t an isolated issue addressing abortion alone, the right to privacy is interwoven throughout the entire fabric of the Constitution, it ensures our liberty and freedom from government overreach and religious zealotry; efforts to destroy the right to privacy, therefore, will succeed only in jeopardizing that liberty and freedom.
Yes i fully support States' Rights and do believe they should decide the issue for themselves. And States' Rights are not an 'Opinion.' They're fact & reality. And again,it's not so simple. Romney has mixed emotions on Abortion like most other Americans do. So i can cut him some slack.
There’s no such thing as ‘states’ rights’ as you understand it; the Supremacy Clause and numerous Supreme Court rulings have confirmed the fact that Federal law trumps state, and the 14th Amendment applies the Bill of Rights to the state where incorporated. Consequently, one doesn’t forfeit his civil rights simply because of his state of residence, that the majority of a given state may wish to ban abortion is irrelevant, as the very purpose of the Constitution is to protect the rights of the minority and prevent the tyranny of the majority.
Therefore only two questions remain: are Paul and his supporters merely ignorant of these facts or are they aware of them but hold them in contempt because they donÂ’t conform with the myth theyÂ’ve contrived with regard to the Constitution and its meaning.
