Bank robbery, kidnapping, those are special cases that involve federal insurance of funds and crossing of interstate lines that have called for federal laws.

But do you believe it's Constitutionally appropriate for them to be guaranteeing funds, or is it another of those things where they get into health care without authority, then when that mucks things up, they point to the problems as justification for "getting into health care"?

Look, you can go round and round on these points all you want.

The fact is, federal efforts to limit abortion have gone basically nowhere. The only thing that’s been limited is the right of states to pass any laws on the subject.

Are you happy with the status quo?

Are you willing to think of new strategies for changing the status quo?

Or are you going to just hold firm, hold out for everything, and continue to get nothing?

Is that your strategy? If it is, it’s working great!
