The Federal Government has no business being in abortion or “marriageâ€� in any form. Either way.

I strongly disagree. The authors and ratifiers of the Constitution's bill of rights intended it to protect the unalienable human rights of the American people. The 9th of those amendments was written to cover the universally recognized rights of man which were not specifically protected by the first 8 amendments. Since the first unalienable right mentioned in the Declaration of Independence is the right to LIFE, it is inconceivable that the authors would not have intended the 9th to protect that right.

Federalism was and still is a great concept and an excellent system for governing a large and diverse nation. But the men who established it by way of the Constitution would never have dreamed that it would someday be improperly used as an excuse to justify allowing the legalized murder of more than 1 million unborn human beings every year in the God-fearing nation they had struggled to create.

If the elected US government does not protect the sanctity of innocent human life, which is the most basic of all human rights, then the people who elected that government with full knowledge of it's policy regarding sanctity of life issues are equally as culpable in the deaths of the legally murdered innocents as the German people who elected and supported Hitler and the Nazis in the 1930s were for the horrors of Auschwitz and Buchenwald. I will never knowingly have any part in electing any member of such a government no matter how bad or even worse the alternative may be, and voting for an unapologetic supporter of legalized abortion such as Rudy would be doing exactly that.

That is because you have a belief that life begins at a certain point that others do not share with you. Abortion should be between a woman and her God. The State has nothing to do with it. The is a “religiously” free country - life begins at conception is not an accepted scientific fact at this time.
