I don't like abortion but you can't legislate morality.

What the he** does this mean? Anybody?

It's a parrot squawk. One parrot squawked it in the distant past and now the whole gas bag flock is squawking it. Not one of them has examined it to discover what it really means let alone whether it makes sense.

Legislate morality? In the timeless words of Judge Robert Bork: "We legislate little else!"

You might just as well say we can't pass laws against pedophilia or murder because one person might find these things morally acceptable.

Put Rudy in the White House and you'll see a whole lot of morality being legislated and enforced--morality of the social liberal variety: hate crimes, environmental crimes, gun crimes etc.

Yes, we indeed legislate morality. But let it be morality in consonance with natural law and good sense. In short, let it be pro-family, pro-life, socially conservative morality.

Rudy is not up to the task.

Good point and something for me to consider. My point always was, if someone considers choosing abortion, I think they must first be required to view an ultrasound. If they then still thinks it's ok, would one be up for a murder charge?

Still, I think it's something to be considered as a state choice subject to the 14th amendment, this is not stated in the Constitution.
