That’s not a winning argument.

They say before civil war, people used to refer to United States as United States ARE.......after civil war, they started referring to US as United States IS.......

I think morality is better off decided by States........

Most civil laws are......I like the the Georgraphical Boundary.......that can allow all of us to co-exist in peace.....

Not arguing to bring Slavery back.....but if there is any hope of winning on issue of abortion.....first step has to be to make it a State issue.

Agree. Dems know how to get far with baby steps but we go for broke, only to shoot ourselves in the foot.

Agreed. The only way to win this fight for life is inch by inch, state by state. The all-or-nothing crowd sometimes does more harm than good, well-intended though they may be.

I beg to differ. This is the the only correct argument. Hearts and minds must be changed. The battle can be state by state, but to argue state's rights is not supported by The Constitution.

INTRODUCTION OF THE RIGHT TO LIFE ACT (Duncan Hunter 2007)

[skr]

Life is a right, not a state or federal issue. As a vulnerable nation-in-the-making, we may have had to tolerate the already present slavery and then, all too slowly, make it right, but it is an abomination that we have allowed the previously illegal murder of children to become legal. We, as a nation, are still paying for slavery and now have added a terrible debt for the deaths of millions of babies.
