So Congress should legislate secondhand smoke! After all, it deprives some people of life without due process of law.

Sorry, just showing you the mile that liberals will take with that inch you just gave them. Conservative lust for federal power always gives birth to a liberal bastard.

Are you dim? First you demonstrate an ignorance of the US Constitution and then justify that by demonstrating an ignorance of the peer reviewed science.

Here, let me help. The right to life is an individual right, not a collective right that the state (be it the feds or the states) can give or take away as they please. The constitution requires both the feds and the states to protect the rights of the individual.

You are out there where the birds can't fly because of a lack of O2 amigo.

Your views are butt ignorant whether they come from a leftist or a rightist, the constitution says what it says, the right to life is about as absolute as a right gets. Yes, the state has the power to deprive you of that right after due process but the state also has the duty to protect that right. What the hell is the matter with you that you think states can countenance murder?

If the federal government can override states and make abortion a federal issue, based on the premise it robs innocents nationwide of life, let’s take a look at what else also kills innocents in every state, according to the government you just handed power to:

* A gun in the home
* Secondhand smoke
* Lack of universal health care
* Parents who don’t take a government-mandated parenting course

Do we really want guys from California and Massachusetts taking your “federalize abortion” argument and telling Texans they now can’t smoke within 50 feet of a child? I guarantee you they’ll be fighting with each other to see who sponsors that bill. Liberals LOOOOVE taking conservative legislation and using it against them.

I contribute to pro-life causes, wear my Precious Feet and drop off diapers to crisis preganancy centers. I want abortion ended, but I don’t want to create a new host of horrors. Just call it what it is — murder — give it back to the states and prosecute it as murder.
