That makes absolutely no sense. The Tenth Amendment says that anything not prohibited by the Constitution to the states is reserved to the states and TO THE PEOPLE RESPECTIVELY. The right to life is an individual right, one which is unalienable, according to the founders of the United States of America.
The right to life was given by God, not any man or any constitution anyway. The founders knew this, and asserted it as self-evident truth, stating that the protection of it is the purpose of government, all government.
Including state governments.
But, just to make it easy for simpletons who have never given a thought to God’s law, or the natural law, or God-given unalienable rights, the Fourteenth Amendment makes it clear that all states must protect the life of all innocent persons and provide for the equal protection of the laws.
Even Blackmun, the author of Roe vs Wade, admitted as much in the decision itself. He said that if the “fetus” is a person, they are “of course” protected by the Fourteenth Amendment.
By the way, the Republican platform has asserted this exact thing since Ronald Reagan put it there 25 years ago.
With all do respect to you and God, who I also believe is the ultimate authority the constitution does not specifically mention things such as:
1) the death penalty
2) abortion
They both end life and neither are specifically mentioned and therefore fall under the 10 amendment.
The states do have the right to choose whether to have the death penalty or not.
Abortion should fall under that same guidline, if the constitution allows one, (or not) must allow the other (or not.)
I still say, Constitutionally, Sarah Palin is correct.
