I believe "gay rights" and abortion belong under the 10th Amendment and are not the purview of the Federal Government.

Do you apply this "logic" to other unalienable rights, or just to the supreme right, the right to life?

However, the Feds have nationalized abortion under Roe and essentially codified the legalization position.

According to the founders of this free republic the protection of the unalienable rights to life and liberty are the reason for the existence of human government.

That is NOT a fight that will be won over the next 2-4 years.

And meanwhile, EVERY DAY in this country more persons are brutally murdered by the abortionists than died from the terror attacks of 9-11-2001.

The Right to Life is NOW codified at the state level constitutionally...with MURDER covered under state statutes in all cases excepting the murders that occur on Federal property. Only in the case of abortion is the life issue nationalized...and this occurred in the 1970s. Until then, abortion was ALWAYS UNDER STATE LAW.

Look, I'm not trying to talk anyone into, or out of, any position. I'm observing the political landscape and offering an opinion on a course that I believe best serves both social and economic conservatives. I don't believe any compromises have to be made by either side if one takes a long-term view. A CONSTITUTIONAL view.
