Again you lie.

Abortion laws should be a state-level choice

It is now widely accepted that there’s a constitutional right to abort a human fetus. Of course, the Constitution says nothing about abortion, murder, manslaughter, or any other acts of violence. Criminal and civil laws were deliberately left to the states.

I consider it a state-level responsibility to restrain violence against any human being. I disagree with the nationalization of the issue and reject the Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in all 50 states. Legislation that I have proposed would limit fe4deral court jurisdiction of abortion, and allow state prohibition of abortion on demand as well as in all trimesters. It will not stop all abortions. Only a truly moral society can do that.
The pro-life opponents to my approach are less respectful of the rule of law and the Constitution. Instead of admitting that my position allows the states to minimize or ban abortions, they claim that my position supports the legalization of abortion by the states. This is twisted logic.

What do you disagree with? Why do you want to tell MA what to do and if would you want MA telling your state to legalize gay marriage?

Even as I have some qualms about the (L) platform/ideals....this is one.

A Person is a person and under the protection of their Creator given Rights of Life and Liberty. It is NOT a State issue, nor a Federal one. IMHO, they’ve done a great disservice in not bringing cases to the court using the science of today. Is not a fetus/child/baby/whatever-you-want-to-call-it not unique in its DNA? Hence, it is NOT the woman’s’ ‘choice’ to terminate, in as much as she can be prosecuted for using drugs and/or alcohol while carrying. One too can be prosecuted for killing the child in-womb (double murder). Why these inconsistencies? Either the Law is just or it is invalid and vague.

Unfortunately, there are those in the GOP camp that would still use these single discrepancies to write-off the (L) party while Rome burns. Instead, they should be putting aside their prejudices and note the wide-swath of ideals we all can agree upon. Much as their own superior moral outrages thinks that ‘a vote for anyone but the GOP is a vote for XYZ’, instead of realizing that votes are earned.
