You had my blood boiling with the headline but it wasn’t so bad. As long as he’s for RvW being overturned. Let the states decide.

Apparently no tagline when you post the article; anyway see my profile page for my bias here.

Ugh. Although , of course, if Roe v Wade is overturned, it goes back to the states, which is where it belongs. But that homosexuality answer was absurd.

how did Steele ever get elected?

If he had given this interview in front of the RNC last month he’d have gotten 0 votes.

And does he even understand what he’s saying?

He says abortion is a choice and that it’s up to the woman, but he thinks that Roe, which said just that, is wrong and should be overturned, and it should go the states where the states decide, not the woman, who he just said should be the one who decides. i.e, if 50% of say LA(including men, btw) decides against abortion then it won’t matter what Diane in Baton Rouge or Lisa in New Orleans decides, others decided for her.

His whole answer is totally incoherent and makes no sense.

And this guy is the head of a major national party???

Wow

Once again, conservatives letting the media force us to focus on issues that quite frankly will not matter in the long run of this country

When we allow Zero to spend us into oblivion, and the nation is broke in 20 years and us conservatives are digging in trash cans for food, we won’t give a damn whether or not the now insolvent state of CA allows a woman to have an abortion

Who cares what his personal opinion on abortion is; his professional opinion is the Constitutionally correct one — that the decision should be reserved to the states.

I don’t like abortion, but there is no mention of it in the constitution. Roe v Wade was a terrible decision.

The abortion issue should be left to the states to decide.

Once you’re an alcoholic, it’s not a choice, either. But that’s not a license to go through life drunk.

I submit that homosexuality is just like any another addiction, like alcoholism, gambling, drug addiction. Some folks have a proclivity for it. But that still doesn’t make it right.

Steele is an idiot.

The Republicans are toast as long as they have Donkey-lite at the helm.

Do you think homosexuality is a choice?
Oh, no. I don’t think I’ve ever really subscribed to that view,

right to choose abortion?
Yeah...I think that’s an individual choice.

I was really hoping that the fact he was called a Roman Catholic meant he actually was. He may or may not be a RINO but he has outed himself as a CINO. From now on, I will see him in the same light as Pelosi, Biden and Kennedy...

I think that's a bad headline. I don't think it was that bad of an interview, although I'm a big 10th Amendment guy myself.

Keep in mind that even murder is almost always prosecuted on the state level.

Here's what Steele should have said:

"I support a Constitutional amendment outlawing abortion. Everyone, including the unborn, deserve the precious right to life. However, I do realize that in today's political climate, such an amendment has very little chance of passing. Therefore, I support the next-best step: Overturning Roe vs Wade and returning the issue back to the states, and over time we will see a groundswell of support for a Constitutional amendment."

Steele is correct about the States deciding.

I don't like Steele, but what he says about aborting Being the purview of the States and not the Feds is correct. He was wrong about women being to make an individual choice but he is correct is saying the feds don't have the right to choose, only the states do. If Roe vs Wade is struck down, as it should be, there should be no federal law preventing abortion, only the states have that right.

Either you believe in states rights or you don't, can't have it both ways.

Well thinking the matter should be left to the states is in fact the view of those who want Roe v. Wade overturned. If Roe is overturned, then the states control.

As a matter of Law right now, abortion is a woman’s choice.
