FTA: "In 2007, Obama promised the first thing he will do as president is to lift a ban on state restrictions on abortions, including late-term procedures....
[As for me, I] suspect the president has little influence over the issue of abortion to begin with.
"

Doesn't this guy even read his own writing? To the rousing cheers of a Democratic Congress, Barack Obama's first priority would be to throw out every state law in the USA that regulates abortion to any extent or on any pretext whatsoever.

That would, I think, be unconstitutional on the Federal govt's part, but they could enjoin the enforcement of state laws while the issue is in litigation, which could be for years.

Obama can sink the whole raft of incremental state-legislated statutes we've painstakingly put together for 30 years --- laws which actually protect women and babies from the irreparable harms perpetrated by the Baby-Crushing Industry --- and nobody should pretend for one nanosecond that the presidency is irrelevant in curbing, or perpetuating, this disgraceful massacre.

Wouldn’t you be “Animalia” and “Chordata,” too?
