So much for "State's Rights", as Roe V. Wade has pretty much demonstrated.

Well perhaps with S. Dakota passing a ban on abortion,
States Rights will be revisited again real soon

Re your #15 -

"... States Rights will be revisited again real soon"

Looks like it, for sure.

Let's just hope that it turns out a lot better than it did from 1861-5!

Make no mistake about it; Abortion is every bit as divisive an issue in America today as slavery was in 1860.

Isn't it interesting that both institutions essentially "dehumanize" people?

One by the color of a person's skin; the other by their state of prenatal development.

The Negro slave was considered "property", and the featus only a mass of "tissue".

Those are not the only forms of dehumanization, of course, but may represent two of the most significant in recent History.

That part of American History between 1861 - 5 might be fun to "reenact" (which I occasionally still do) as long as only blanks are being fired at one another - but we'd best learn from it, as we sure as Hades don't want to go repeating it!

Well, perhaps with Californias passing a ban on 'assault weapons', States Rights will be revisited again real soon?

Don't hold your breath.

A state exercising its 'right to prohibit' is a problem in a free republic, not a solution.
