I guess a fair question would be does the Federal government have laws against any other type of murder? If they leave the traditional crime of murder to be adjucated by the states, it would make sense for murder by abortion to be handled by them as well.
BTW, I'm a Duncan Hunter supporter too, but Senator Thompson does have a point.
if a state decided to legalize, say the murder of jews or blacks, you better believe the federal govt will get involved.
That is not a good analogy, IMO.
A better analogy would be if the Supremes ruled that retarded children are not afforded constitutional protections, and that states could not prosecute those who committed the executions of those kids.
How one would respond to that scenario is how we should be responding to this ongoing infantacide called abortion. IOTW, re-establish their constitutional right to life.
