The SCOTUS should never have heard Roe vs. Wade because of the states rights clause. 10th Amendment and all that. The feds had no right to meddle in the issue to begin with.
Sorry, you can't have it both ways.

Roe vs. Wade was a flawed decision based on outright LIES and you know it.
What Mike is stating makes perfect sense, in regard to abortion and comparing it to slavery. By the way, have you ever read the Consitution and the Bill of Rights? Ever?

Was it FD Thompson, or Madison?
We have to respect the Constitution not only when it comforts, but when it pinches.

There is no states rights clause in the constitution. In recent years, the phrase was popularized by rascist Democratic Senators and Congressmen who were opposing the civil rights movement in the 40’s, 50’s and 60’s. In the aftermath of Nixon’s southern strategy we seem to have adopted some of their legal arguments. However, this does not change the fact that “states rights” is actually a very innacurate reading of the Constitution which misconstrues the 10th Amendment and attempts to right the 14th Amendment out of the Constitution.

Spot on OCCASparky. Abortion was outlawed in at least 30 states when Roe came in.
