Does the term "states rights" have any meaning anymore? Are we now down to only eight bill of rights?

Of course not, the Mann Act has nly visited the Supreme Court five, maybe only four times.

We need another to protect the right to transport minors over state lines to procure abortions without parental consent.

Go Ron Go!

Can't get an abortion in your state, buy one next door, transportation provided, and mom and pop won't know a thing.

Go Ron Go!

Think they'll put that on the blimp?

You're support of abrotionists in the name of the Doctor candidate is noted.

How you got support for abortion or support for Ron Paul out of my comments to you is beyond belief.

The Mann Act seems mostly to have been used by people to frame other people they didn't particularly like.

The text of the Mann Act doesn't seem to allow for prosecution of people who transport boys across state borders for prostitution.

Also a valid reading of the Mann Act could make you guilty if you drive your girlfriend from Baker to Vegas and have premarital sex with her. That might be immoral, but certainly not something I want the police ... or FBI ... to waste time prosecuting.
