“States can fight against the abortion drug, but the abortion drug is promoted by the United States Postal Service—that is under federal jurisdiction,” he added. “That is why the federal government needs to get involved.”

Point being some things other than roe need the federal government to get involved when it comes to abortion.

I’d still rather fight RINOs than Democrats.

No federal law is needed to solve that. Executive action alone has allowed it an executive action can end it.

Where were these pro-lifers in 2022 when the red wave fizzled? Why didn’t they vote for the Republicans?

Thank you for referencing that article Morgana.

"RNC’s New Abortion Stance Betrays GOP’s Founding, Pro-Life Activist Says’"


But why isn't constitutionally undefined RNC pointing out the following constitutional problems with politically correct federal taxing, spending and dictates for vote-winning abortion?

First, the Supreme Court probably wouldn't have tried to get away with it's scandalous, state power-stealing legalization of abortion if parents had been making sure that their children were being taught the Constitution's division of state and federal government powers as constitutional drafters had intended for those powers to be understood.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

In fact, using inappropriate (imo) terms like "concept" and "implicit," here is what was left of 10th Amendment (10A)-protected state powers after FDR's state sovereignty-ignoring justices had previously effectively “repealed” it, unique state power to prohibit abortion for example, when they wrongly decided Wickard v. Filburn in Congress's favor imo.

"In discussion and decision, the point of reference, instead of being what was "necessary and proper" to the exercise by Congress of its granted power, was often some concept [??? all emphases added] of sovereignty thought to be implicit [???] in the status of statehood. Certain activities such as "production," manufacturing, and "mining" were occasionally said to be within the province of state governments and beyond the power of Congress under the Commerce Clause." —Wickard v. Filburn, 1942.

Post-17th Amendment ratification elite Democrats and RINOs eventually seized the opportunity provided by Supreme's politically correct repeal of 10A and embraced abortion as a politically correct "constitutional right" to win votes to stay in power.

More specifically, Roe provided another excuse to justify the federal government's abuse of its 16th Amendment powers (direct taxes) to steal even more from citizens' wallets with unconstitutional, unaccountable federal taxing and spending to stay in power by winning the votes of misguided, constitutionally low-information voters.

Also, a MAJOR shortcoming (imo) of Rep. John Bingham's Section 1 of the 14th Amendment (14A) in the context of abortion is the noted below.

Excerpted from 14A:

The several instances of person(s) used in 14A don't reasonably include the embryo without stretching the common usage of that word imo.

By surrendering state power to prohibit abortion back to the states, including stopping 16A-based federal unconstitutional taxing and spending for abortion, hopeful Trump 47 is at last taking a constitutionally justifiable, 10A-restoring step to limit abortion imo.

NO “GOP conention platform has ever alarmed me, no matter what it says. Why? NO ONE in the Presidency or Congress has ever said as a matter of policy or legislative intent, that “we should do thus and so” because the party platform says so.

The pro-life Congressional reps will remain so and will continue to work for pro-Life policies, part platform or no party platform. I know it, you know and it everyone knows it.

Meanwhile, in the general election, some moderate and independent voters may be swayed to vote for Trump because what the RBC platform says. That’s fine. Meanwhile that platform is not going to be material when it comes to the seats in Congress. So, I worry not.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

In addition to promoting the Big Pharma abortion drug, the federal government also promoted the experimental Big Pharma CV19 jab. How did the jab turn out by the way? /super sarc

"“That is why the federal government needs to get involved.”"


I cannot believe the casual statement above about federal government needing to get involved. It reflects a complete lack of understanding of the federal government's constitutionally limited powers imo.

"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.

Since Congress has repeatedly proven that it is an enemy of the people imo, it is now up to Democratic and Republican Trump supporters to effectively "impeach and remove" ALL (exceptions?) state and federal lawmakers and executives in November. Patriots need to support hopeful Trump 47 with a new, Constitution-respecting Congress, state lawmakers too, not only so that he will not be a lame duck president from the first day of his second term, but will support him to quickly finish draining the swamp.

"It appears that there is little courage or appetite among our national leaders to try to protect unborn Americans with new federal laws,”...from the article

Of course not, unborn children can't vote.

I’m a life long prolifer as were parents. We worked to return the issue back to States. Reversing RvW, returned the issue back to the States. Pro Life orgs still pump out the same stale msgs from the 70s n 80s. Why? I’m confident it’s because of the 6 figure executive salaries.

Pro Life starts in the home tho controlled by the State. Those of you who push for a fed NO abortion bill will cause this to backfire. The pro aborts stair stepped abortion at will, we need to regulate PP at the State level not Fed
