Legalized abortion is a violation of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Who says so? The U.S. Supreme Court, that’s who—in Roe v. Wade. All Congress has to do is find that a human fetus is a “person within the meaning of the Fourteenth Amendment,” and Roe v. Wade becomes a scrap of paper.

If Rick Perry does not know this, then he’s not a pro-lifer.

Well. THere is that. I am just sick and tired of everything being decided by the Maximum Overlords.

Do you have any evidence to present that this was the intent of the people who wrote and ratified that amendment, or are we working off of "penumbras and emanations"?

Your argument is correct and does not dilute Perry’s constitutional declaration of states rights, based on law as it exists today. Pro Life people understand the complicity of the Supreme Court in abortion. These would include Rick Perry.

There are many that think any enormity is fine as long as state gubberments approve.

That said, I would vote to repeal Roe in a heartbeat, it’s a good first step, but it isn’t the real argument. I wouldn’t be suprised if Roe is nixed some states that keep abortion will eventually legalize murder of small children up to a certain age. It sounds crazy, but some loons call for that now, and 100 years ago legalized abortion was unthinkable. 30 years ago “gay marriage” was unthinkable, now it is legal in some states. The problem with abortion is “you don’t like it, leave the state” doesn’t work.

AS far as Perry not being pro-life, compared to who? If he gets the nomination his court nominations would have to be better than pres. O.
