I agree with Perry. Although personally opposed to abortion he is correct. The finding of laws in the Constitution that give abortion legality based on a "right to privacy" is an abomination on the Constitution. The finding of a law that prevents it is also an abomination on the Constitution. The greatest abomination of all is trying to make the Constitution reflect ones personal beliefs instead of doing what the Constitution says.

The Constitution is a document that limits the power of the Federal Government. All powers not given to Federal Government by the Constitution reside in the laws of the individual States.

If this were not so, it would be illegal for some states to have the death penalty and other not. What made this nation great is the fact that the Constitution is a document limiting the powers of the Federal Government.

I shall now don my flame proof underwear.

You are right. Abortion, like all murder has always been a state issue. There wasn’t even a federal law against killing the president until after Kennedy was killed.

A federal law against abortion would create a situation where it is a federal crime to kill an unborn baby but not a federal crime to kill the same baby 2 seconds after he is born.

At least you’ll have the comfort of knowing you’re right.
