“Our government was not empowered to spend tax payer money to advance or protect social agendas.”
Exactly. I would say that on the abortion issue, that Roe ought to be overturned and then each state could decide what abortion restrictions they would have. Unfortunately I also believe that at the national level the GOP has no interest in getting rid of abortion as a carrot to dangle in front of social conservatives.
Abortion and affirmative action were invented rights. Simply put, they empower one group of people over another and by that element should be considered unconstitutional.
