"or if he was talking about guns and said the same thing."

Unlike abortion, guns are dealt with in the Constitution by the 2nd Amendment. Any matter that isn't settled by the Constitution should be left to the states.

i agree, i was just talking about him saying it’s an individual choice but then a state choice in a span of seconds. it can’t be both. he doesnt seem to get that. or he does and is easily confused.

For example, freedom of religion, guns, etc... are individual choices and it doesn’t matter what the state says. Steele seems to agree with the interviewer in saying abortion is also in that class. Obama thinks that as well. That abortion IS in the constitution and is part of the libety in the due process clause. Right now 5 SC Justices also agree. For 40 years almost conservtaives have said no. It’s not in the Constitution and it’s not an individual choice. A woman can’t choose abortion just just she can’t choose to slip arsenic in her baby’s formula cause she’s sick of him crying at night. Obama says she can choose to kill the baby, up until term. As do most dems and liberals and the 5 SC justices.

After reading this interview I honestly don’t know which side Steele is on, but it sounds like he’s on Obama’s and the liberals’ side.

It would have been nice to know that before he was elected. That’s a pretty big shift for the GOP if true.

Yeah, like slavery.
