>>So now the Dems are on the States-rights bandwagon. So do they now support a state's right to outlaw abortion, thus making a federal Roe v. Wade decision irrelevant?<<

Good question - how mny states had a law on the books against abortion at the time of Roe v. Wade? 38? Over 40?

Too many courts have become agents for the most radical forces in our society. By now everyone should understand why Sen. Chuck Schumer & Co. have been fighting so viciously to block Bush's judicial nominees-the Courts are the one place where the Left has been consistently winning. -Laura Ingraham

Millions of middle-of-the-road Democrats believe the party line that judicial nominees like Priscilla Owen are rabid right-wingers. It would be great if half of those millions withdrew their support for Democrat candidates until the national party pulled back their obstruction.

More than 30 states allowed some form of legal abortion at the time of Roe v. Wade.

I'm listening to George Will on the Laura Ingraham Show right now, and he just pointed out that the most reckless SCOTUS justices of the last 40 years were appointed by Republicans: Warren, Brennan, Stevens, and Souter.

Scary.

Excellent Point!!!

I hope that W uses this exact analogy in the campaign. If you think this is a States Rights issue, than you cant pick and choose which issues belong to the States and which issues you believe the Federal Government decrees. Why pick the gay marriage issue as a State Right but not abortion, the Right to Carry, etc. Hammer the RAT with this point and it will result in additional votes for W.
