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

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.

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.

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?

Yes! You’re proving my point. Those ARE ignorant statements, but they’re precisely what the government you want to empower is thinking.

If conservatives use the power of the federal government to ban abortion in every state, liberals will be lining up for miles to use that precedent to also federally ban guns in homes, ban secondhand smoke, mandate federal health insurance, etc. After all, most voters agree all those kill children, too.

End abortion, but do it in a way that at least leaves behind a free country. Don’t go the liberal route
