The problem is that as long as states like NY, California and Illinois have abortion (and they will NEVER ban it as long as they have a choice), the state-by-state approach will accomplish almost nothing.

Nearly all abortions are already being performed in states that have no intention of outlawing them, and nearly all women are within a days drive of one of these states.

America has already tried the experiment of letting each state define who is and isn't a person and that experiment nearly destroyed our Republic.

And what were the results of allowing each state to determine personhood?

It caused a great divide in the nation. It led to the end of slavery, but also, because the states' rights folks were on the wrong side that time, it also led to strong central governmentalists winning the day.

Another such divide with the states' rights folks on the side of Life...the side of God...could well lead us back to a far better middle ground.

Would it lead to war? Perhaps, but I don't think so. It will lead to some kind of revolution. And the way government in America operates will be changed.

I continue to think that the red states legally banning abortions is a GOOD thing. Any life saved is a life saved.
