"My intention was not to say that Roe was sound, but to say that it is permissable for states to allow abortion (i.e., abortion is constitutional)."

Apparently I misinterpreted nothing.

I was merely pointing out to you that your adoption of the position that it is permissable for the states to allow abortion is like saying that all guns should be held in the hands of only the military and the police, and the USA should just say, "To hell with national sovereignty . . " and merge with Mexico and Canada into a North American Union. And so forth and so on.
In a sense, I was paying a compliment to the owner of FR and its Moderators for their tolerance in allowing the expression of positions/opinions here that would be similar to Democratic Underground allowing posters to flog its trollish participants with endless posts featuring a conservative candidate in favor of, say, machine guns for all, controlling our borders and making the evil, sordid & murderous business of abortion illegal (as it should be).

FR allows "devil's advocates" while DU does not. So more power to us, and what say, LtG--wanna do the "superiority strut"? ;^)

Good. I'll be more than happy to have this debate.

This has to be the most ridiculous comparison I've ever seen. The first requires a faithful reading of the Constitution, while the second would require us to jettison the Constitution. I see that you seek to encode your own policy preferences in the Constitution, because the ends justify the means. Well, you're wrong. That's the way the liberal judges thought, and look how that turned out to be.

Machine guns for all? I haven't seen any calls to provide everyone with free machine gunes. As for abortion, most people favor overturning Roe and returning the matter to the states, not imposing conservative judicial activism on the country. So I'm afraid you're out of the mainstream on that one.

Certainly.
