There is no abortion crisis. States and their voters can decide what they as a electorate want to fund and allow. Making angry a large number of your voter’s is not a good way to win an election. Since there is no laws defining federal power on this issue the tenth amendment means it’s a state right issue. The feds can fund or not fund what they choose the states can take the money or not that’s again their choice.
Federalism is designed to have 50 different sovereign states one size fits no one and local control is always better than people 2000 miles away. A good portion of pro choice people also want secure borders, ending the fiscal madness , and sane energy policies. Broadening the base how to get to the big house. Alienating two generations of people who dont have the same moral issues as the boomers do is a recipe for failure. <<< this is the core of the issue. Like it or not GenX,GenY,GenZ do not have the same religious beliefs as the olders and never .
There is not enough right wing puritans to put Trump in the White House there just is not. Trump knows this and is willing to let go of some of the far right and gain much needed in the middle in states he needs to win. Losing people in Florida that are already in a deep red state to gain delegates in Michigan or Pennsylvania is a winning play. The zealots don’t like it but it is the right political move to make.
Once again I call atention to this from the article.
Abortion is not just a state issue, as the RNC platform suggests, McClusky said, because the federal government is not neutral on it. More than $1 billion a year goes to the abortion industry nationally and internationally to help promote, subsidize, and perform abortions, he said.
To corroborate that claim I found it may be closer to 2 Billion. And that abortion is costing our economy 6.9 TRILLION Dollars.
Ask yourself - if Trump and the RNC are sincere about removing abortion from a national issue - then will they do anything at all regarding the massive federal burden abortions bring on us? Or will they somehow leave this to the states also?
States Rights is a "bury your head in the sand" approach. It didn't work to resolve the slavery issue. It won't work now regarding abortion.
