To some extent, I agree with her.
The federal government should have no role in abortion, pro or con. Roe v. Wade was decided incorrectly, as there is no such right in the Constitution, but a nationwide ban on abortion would also be constitutionally incorrect. It is the proper role of the states to make any decisions on abortion’s legality.
The moral decision is to ban abortion, or not to have one even if it’s legal, but that’s not a national decision in any case.
Sooooo what you’re saying is the government should have no role in banning or outlawing murder? Gotcha.
Wow.
"...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." (Amendment XIV)
"...nor be deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law" (Amendment V)
Pretty clear, I think. This constitutes a Federal abortion ban.
You mean like slavery.
“The moral decision is to ban abortion, or not to have one even if it’s legal, but that’s not a national decision in any case.”
So would you use the same logic in regard to slavery? Meaning that the moral decision is to ban slavery, or not to have a slave if it’s legal, but that it is not a national decision in any case?
I think it is sad when a national government has to do what people should choose to do in the first place on their own, but if those people, or their states, can’t choose to not murder babies, then the national government MUST act for it is otherwise a complete sham.
It's not a "ban on abortion" it is defending the principle that "we are endowed by the Creator with inalienable rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
Murder is already "banned." . .is that "constitutionally incorrect?"
Why do you believe that “a nationwide ban on abortion would also be constitutionally incorrect?”
Abortion is MURDER!
Where is MURDER legal/constitutional in America?
One of the primary purposes of the federal government is to protect innocent human life. Abortion is murder.
So murder is ok? States should decide if murder is acceptable?
If your position were correct, then a federal ban on slavery is also Constitutionally incorrect.
The federal government is charged with requiring that each state remain a republic. A state in which people are allowed to murder their children is not a republic.
Yeah, worked great for slavery when they "sent it back to the states to decide". Things went just peachy in Bleeding Kansas. The 13th amendment was out of line!
