Fred, in the old videos, was specifically talking about laws at the federal level. He said it should be left up to the states.

Like it or not, Fred's plan to reduce the number of abortions is a helluva lot more effective than the pipe-dream plan of getting a Constitutional amendment passed.

And when I say pipe dream, I'm specifically referring to crack. It ain't happening ANYTIME soon in this country.

If you overturn Roe, which he supports, you automatically will reduce the number of abortions.

I was talking about the video in the OP of this thread. Whether intentional or not, Fred mentioned two of the three legs of the Reagan Coalition, omitting the third leg, that of the Christians. A rather awkward mistake when beating up the Christian's candidate, wouldn't you say?

Unlike others, I am willing to see Roe v. Wade overturned. That would be a major victory, no doubt, even though it would not stop abortion altogether. But Fred's outright opposition to the RTL Amendment did not endear him to the Christian masses.

I am against Fred on the Marriage amendment however. His solution is not workable, and I don't see how states can be protected from the marriages made in other states, nor do I admire exclusions from the reciprocity clause, which might open another can of worms.
