I agree abortion should be a states rights issue. But there are many who will agree with that position. I'm just saying we will be scrutinized for our positions just as we do the Democrats and this one needs to be addressed. Fred Thompson has done that specifically. Thompson also says homosexual marriages should also be a states right issue. I disagree with him on that. Because other states have to recognize laws from other jurisdictions, marriage being one of those, I cannot see how homosexual marriage can not be a federal issue.

The right to life for every person is the preeminent unalienable right. Which lesser rights do you now want the states to decide? Slavery? The RTKBA? Free speech? Assembly? What?

If that is true, why are the homosexual marriages from Massachusetts not recognized in Alabama? They aren't, are they?
