Every state is required to provide a republican form of government.
No state has a right to legalize murder, any more than they have a right to take away the right to free speech, free assembly, the right to petition government, the right to keep and bear arms, etc.
It amazes me that people can not discern the difference between keeping the federal government within its enumerated powers and all government’s, including the federal government’s, primary duty to protect and uphold unalienable rights.
This sort of willful ignorance holds to potential for the final death of this free republic.
The states all held these rights prior to Roe-v-Wade.
The constitution says nothing about abortion. The powers are not specifically granted to the federal government ergo they are reserved to the states.
In fact what Fred is saying with his federalist answer is he thinks we should roll things back to where they were before Roe.
And at the end of the day that is what we want.
The problem is the courts are ignoring the constitution entirely, not that we simply disagree with which way they are inventing eminating pneumbras.
Have some faith in the voters of each state. Thats what the founders did.
Even in CA when the voters get to vote they don’t do too bad. Its the liberal courts that ignore the constitution that cause the problems.
