I think, EV, that when many people think of states’ rights, at least from our side, in dealing with abortion, they are thinking about state regulations, and the state’s right to restrict abortion-something SCOTUS only recently has been upholding, and only in limited ways.

I agree with your assessment of states’ rights and how it is a governmental obligation to defend and protect innocent human life.

The states have no rights to vote for or order the murder of innocent human beings.

However, many people are beginning with the premise that SCOTUS has already usurped the states’ power to exercise its duties in this regard. They are trying to push back as best they can. While I agree with your belief that we all have a duty to do alot more than this, I think we also need to recognize where we are in this battle.

Let’s not disparage our own.

She’s just shown that she’s not “one of our own.” It’s a charade. But, I’m not “disparaging” her anyway. I’m simply pointing out that hers is not a pro-life position.
