It is you that do not understand federalism.
I do not think the killing of the unborn should be legal. But it has nothing to do with federalism.
You have mixed and blurred Fred Thompson’s federalist position on abortion.
I’m not sure where there is room for dispute.
One more time. The states are united. For what?
They are united under the agreement of the Preamble, for the purpose of establishing justice and ensuring the blessings of liberty to ourselves and posterity.
Federalism holds all states to this agreement, so none of them have the right to take life. Abortion is therefore a federal issue.
Fred disagrees.
Perhaps he could be persuaded otherwise, but only if we put the argument to him. He needs to feel the pressure of our demand for leadership to outlaw abortion. That’s all I’m attempting to do with this argument.
