Even some of the advocates for Roe vs. Wade did not see that empowerment of abortion on demand in the first trimester would grow into abortion on demand anytime, even for babies who survived the process. Of course, some did and some planned on it. But the bottom line is that the extremism of the abortion industry and the lives lost thereto is what has played the key role in slowly turning the public attitude around.
Gov. Palin's position is very reasonable and contrasts nicely with the extremism of the Oba Mao position.
Such a position just happens to be the destruction of America's most fundamental premise.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men..."
Either God-given rights are unalienable everywhere in America, or they are alienable anywhere and everywhere. The very existence of liberty and of the Union depends upon it.
Do you also think it would be "reasonable" for freedom to worship, free assembly, a free press, or the right to keep and bear arms to be considered a "states' rights issue"?
