Abortion is murder. Do you think states should have the right, under the 10th amendment, to legalize murder of those already born? Or just those not born yet?

Actually, it's the Fed that doesn't have that authority under the 10th Amendment. The Constitution is silent on abortion, and so should be the Federal Government.

Don't like the Constitution??? Change it.

Abortion is murder. But as evidenced by my previous post, I don't think that conservatives in Congress are serious about the bill, incumbents just using it to win votes for 2014 imo. If it passes the Senate then please send me a note.

Regarding the murder of those already born, and with all due respect to family and supporters of the late Terry Schiavo, the Supreme Court properly regarded her euthenasia as a state power issue imo. But as a consequence of probably not understanding 10th Amendment protected state sovereignty, I would be surprized if Florida voters have worked with their state's lawmakers to make Florida's life & death laws more compassionate for people like Terri.

Again, one of the main reasons that we are having problems with tyrannical federal and state governments is because low-information voters are not aware of the Founding States' division of federal and state government powers evidenced by the Constitution's Section 8 of Article I, Article V and the 10th Amendment.
