You are exactly right, “12.3 children were murdered by abortion.”

Abortion is murder. Murder of innocents, to be exact. But the Constitution doesn’t give the federal government authority to legislate laws against murder.

Let’s save babies without sacrificing the principles we were founded on. Send the issue back to the states.

Really??? It seems the 10th Amendment states that if something isn't specifically outlined in the Constitution, the right is granted to the States and to the people.. so if the people decide through their Representatives (ie, Congress) they want this addressed at the federal level, why is that Unconstitutional? We are a Republic after all.

This reminds me of a joke I read today. Ron Paul is against supporting Israel because the word Jew isn't in the Constitution.
