[Roscoe]

States are empowered to administer criminal law by the Tenth. -- Thus, -- it "demands" that the states treat killings of unborn babies as "murder".

State laws prohibit murder, so by that "reasoning" states must prohibit abortion.

Your position just self-destructed.

1.1 The power of the federal government should be limited, as per the tenth amendment to the U. S. Constitution.

"So federal courts shouldn't be able to interfere with state laws prohibiting abortion? Why the sudden change of heart?"
-roscoe- confused again

State laws must conform to constitutional individual liberties. -- See 'supremacy' in Art VI and the Preamble to the BOR's.

The usual self-contradiction.
BTW, where does Constitution state that the killings of the unborn are "individual liberties"?
125 -roscoe- confused again


The constitution demands that both fed & state law 'conform'. -- Thus, no contradiction.

Killings of the 'unborn' are murder, and always have been. They must be proven before judge & jury, with due process.
-- Decrees prohibiting 'abortion' are not due process, they are attempts to control the life & liberty of the women and men involved. - Prohibitional zealotry apparently knows no bounds.

As above:
"Killings of the 'unborn' are murder, and always have been. They must be proven before judge & jury, with due process."
-- "Decrees prohibiting 'abortion' are not due process, they are attempts to control the life & liberty of the women and men involved."
