What other unalienable rights do you think states can alienate besides the right to live?

And how do you reconcile your claim that Mrs. Palin's "it's up to the states" position is "Constitutional" with the clear words of the Fourteenth Amendment?

"No State shall...deprive any person of life...without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

EV, I don't care about malevolent screeds, except where they jump the shark, which is on this one.

Sarah Palin is a Christian, and has proven her bonafides on sanctity of life. However, you seem to disagree that the states have the right to do something which the Fedrool gum't has usurped. She has made no statement in support of abortion. She HAS birthed five children.

I am already reconciled, as is Sarah, according to her confession of faith. God is still in control, so you can relax. You aren't a decent substitute. I pray for her safety, and for our country. I believe she is an instrument of God. You seem to think Keyes is the chosen one.

I don't agree. I don't have to justify her to you. You have one vote, just like us, and only one voice. Try to use them wisely!

Go spend some time playing in Keyes sandbox. Scratch and shiite seems to be the main rules there... You'll fit right in!

Isn't that the point? The Federal Government completely steps out of the decision on Roe v Wade and Each State then lines up with the Constitution and the 14th Amendment. Therefore it's not a Federal Law, it's a State's Rights Law for the Citizens of that particular State. (Hopefully ALL 57 [sic] will declare the unborn as a person and protect the unborn.] Won't that mean that any contention would have to be settled at the State level and the Supreme Court would not have jurisdiction to overturn a State Law?
