If Ronald Reagan were alive today, I'm confident he too would be supporting the SCOTUS striking down Roe and returning the abortion issue to the states. As Reagan said:
"Our nation-wide policy of abortion on demand through all nine months of pregnancy was neither voted for by our people, nor enacted by our legislators--not a single state had such unrestricted abortion before the Supreme Court decreed it to be national policy in 1973. [It was] an act of raw judicial power"...
"Make no mistake, abortion-on-demand is not a right granted by the Constitution. Nowhere do the plain words of the Constitution even hint at a "right" so sweeping as to permit abortion up to the time the child is ready to be born."
Just raising the argument as it pertains to a right to life amendment, is fine for debate purposes. Its doesn't work in any practical sense. Lets take one bit out of abortion on demand and keep working on building support for a Human Rights amendement. Just as Reagan called for.
"My Administration is dedicated to the preservation of America as a free land, and there is no cause more important for preserving that freedom than affirming the transcendent right to life of all human beings, the right without which no other rights have any meaning."
I’m not arguing for an Amendment. If you want to pass one, I’ll support it, if it guarantees the right to life of all of the innocent unborn. After all, you obviously can’t make things too clear for the stupid left.
But, I will continue to argue against those who make the false claim that under our Constitution any state or individual has the right to affect or allow the child, the person, in the womb, or any other uncharged, untried, unconvicted, innocent individual to be killed.
It’s a complete misunderstanding of what federalism is and means. And its a dangerous one.
