Gosh, last I knew, conservatives wanted states to make these decisions instead of having the feds make all the decisions.

Except that states are quite limited in making decisions about abortion as long as Roe is around.

Rudy has said he would appoint strict constructionists. Here is his current definition of strict constructionism:

http://www.cnn.com/2007/POLITICS/04/04/giuliani.interview/

Giuliani told Bash that "a strict constructionist judge can come to either conclusion about Roe against Wade. They can look at it and say, 'Wrongly decided. ... We will overturn it.' They can look at it and say, 'It has been the law for this period of time, therefore we are going to respect the precedent.'

---

So in other words, to Rudy, strict constructionism HAS NO MEANING. Throw in his return to past form regarding abortion rights, and Roe would be safe during a Rudy presidency.

Oh brother. You know, ignorance really must be bliss. Somehow the old state of SC found a way to greatly reduce and limit abortions. Heck if we can do it, anybody can do it.

Justice Roberts said during his confirmation hearing that Roe v Wade was settled law. It’s called Stare Decisis or something.

Now Rudy is saying he doesn’t know how SCOTUS would rule and you’re upset????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
