So if a State decided to make it legal to kill mentally retarded people that would be OK under the guise of “States rights”? I fail to see how murder is a States right. What part of life, liberty and the persuit of happiness includes a states right to legalize murder?
I completely understand what you’re saying but don’t muddy the waters by interpreting what I said as I think killing babies is OK. No Freeper is okay with that and it’s insulting to be accused of it.
Do you prefer the career suits beholden to everyone in Washington deciding it should be legal *everywhere*? Do you prefer we all be dragged down into the cesspool liberal states have become? Do you prefer the federal government deciding arbitrarily that killing mentally retarded people is legal in EVERY state?
If you think the federal government is going to make it illegal nationwide, you’re dreaming. The only thing slowing the gay marriage onslaught is the citizens saying, “Not in our state!” We’ve already given way too much power to Washington.
In a perfect world, we wouldn’t even have to have a discussion as to whether a baby had a right to live or not. Sadly, that’s not the world we live in. How many lives would be saved if only half the states declared it illegal?
It would seem that the 14th amendment should cover cases of a state killing people; not sure about people killing other people.
Oregon allows assisted suicide, which is in essense a person killing another person. Should that be a state issue, or should be pass a federal law making it illegal for any person in the united states to assist in the death of another person?
I think yes, but I don’t know if that view is consistant with my opinion on state’s rights.
When it comes to abortion, I don’t care — when the day comes, I’ll support a federal abortion ban. Unfortunately, that won’t come for a long time; long after the next president has come and gone.
The first step is at least one replacement supreme court judge, maybe two, to firmly destroy Roe-v-Wade.
