No, I (and apparently Palin) believe in the US constitution where BOTH abortion laws AND murder laws should both be at the state level as they were most of US history. I understand the political expediency in crafting these Federal laws but it sort of throws the argument that the other side violates the Constitution in the tank. That was the big problem with Bush apologists that suddenly got religion on the constitution January 2009. And there are many other examples i wont go into here.
No. If you believe that an unborn child is indeed a human being, then they are deserving of constitutional protections. We can leave it up to the states how they want to punish the crime of abortion. The states all prosecute murder, for it is understood that all citizens have a constitutional right to their life. IOW, a state cannot decide that murder is OK if you are a homeless drunk. Or retarded. Or a certain minority. Or a certain age (except pre-born).
This has nothing to do with Bush. Bush didn’t push for ‘life at conception’ legislation nor did he tout an amendment remedy. Either an unborn child is a person or he isn’t
