Years ago I went along with the standard GOP position of leaving it up to the States. This is the GOP “cop out” position. They can claim they are against abortion.

But are they really?

After pausing long and hard some years back, I decided that I can’t live with that opinion.

Why would it be okay to have a right to life in one state, but not in another state? The left did not like leaving it to the states because they may not have control, so they went whole hog and made it national.

So whether or not a person has the right to live is dependent on who is running the state at the time. No thanks.

I can’t justify that and I no longer try. Granted letting states decide would save some lives for the lucky ones that didn’t get conceived in a death state, but it isn’t what what intended.
