Just out of curiosity; how many states do think would outlaw it, if given the opportunity?

The country is so divided on it, that you're probably never going to get your slam dunk across the board ban on abortion. At least not initially. If that's your goal, fine, great! But wouldn't be better to get say, half the "States" to do it?

So instead of a top down approach (which isn't working), why not a ground up one. At least you could start saving some lives, then you can work on the other states.

Wars are not usually won in one battle. They're usually won by winning many smaller ones. Fred's trying a new tactic, you might want to listen again.

Fred’s not “trying a new tactic.” His position is identical to Jerry Ford’s. Oppose abortion, let the states decide...in other words, let the states decide if the God-given rights to life and liberty are revocable.

The Reagan position prevailed over twenty years ago in the GOP, recognizing the personhood of the unborn, and their inclusion in the protections that are supposed to be afforded by the Fourteenth Amendment, and these Stephen A. Douglas democrats, masquerading as Republicans, are trying to gut the prolife platform he instituted.

If they succeed, the Republican Party is dead. And I for one will say “good riddance.” America already has one prodeath party, it doesn’t need another.
