I am a small govt conservative who while disdainful of abortion don't think it's my place to decide it for a woman who will be the one to live with her own decisions, and who will pass on her experiences, good or bad, to her fellow women.

With respect to abortion, my view is that it isn't in the Constitution so there is no "right". Likewise for physician assisted suicide, gay marriage, etc. However, if people want to say something about these topics they have every right to legislate for or against it. Likewise if they want something in the Constitution to prevent legislation and reserve a "right", then there is a perscribed way to do that too. It is not up to a judge to hand out rights.

Please do not fall into the liberal trap that all our rights are spelled out in the Constitution. Just because something is not enumerated therein does not mean it is not a right reserved to the individual or to the state.

I totally agree - Roe is dead wrong. It was, is and always will be a states issue at minimum - it was never the SCOTUS's job to "legislate" a "right" that was never addressed in our founding documents, but the right to life, liberty......certainly was.

The liberal courts going back to the 30's, and even before with the ICC, Fedl Res + Income taxes, have empowered this pig of a Govt to be able to grow in cost and ergo the people's power has been usurped way beyond constitutional limits.

In response to the leftists like Moore:

"DUDE!!!! Where's my limited Govt???"
