So Perry thinks States have the right to decide if murder is legal or not? Sorry Rick that doesn't fly.

So what would you prefer?

To have Roe v. Wade trample the Tenth Amendment, as it did, and dictate that abortion is legal in ALL 50 States or give each State the right to outlaw abortion as the Tenth Amendment requires? (Unless you believe in "penumbras")

Are you one of those people that would deny the State of Texas it's constutional right, under the Tenth Amendment, to make abortion illegal just so that you can brag that you are more anti-abortion than Perry is?
