There will never, ever be a time when all 50 states would agree that all abortions should be illegal.

Personally, I believe that abortion (except partial birth) should be legal. Society should frown upon it with such vigor, that they become extremely rare. Laws are enacted to protect rights; not govern behavior. Just because abortion is legal doesn't mean tht it should be encouraged. We can thank the women's libbers and the idiot box for the many young women that believe that the ability to murder their unborn children makes them "empowered", "independent", and "sophisticated".

Abortion violates rights.

"Personally, I believe that abortion (except partial birth) should be legal."

I simply want all levels of government to follow The Law (the Constitution). I don't think the Constitution protects the "right to life" of the unborn, OR the "right to choose" of a woman. It should be a matter for each of the states.

First you say this;
Personally, I believe that abortion (except partial birth) should be legal.

Then you say this in the same post;
the many young women that believe that the ability to murder their unborn children makes them "empowered", "independent", and "sophisticated".

Makes no sense unless you think murder should be legal.
