Abortion is a state issue. It should not be dealt with at the federal level. This is just one example of how the Republican party has lost it’s “small-government” way.
Same with flag burning and gay marriage. They are local issues, for pete’s sake!
If California wants to abort itself out of existance... GOOD! That leaves all that room and resources to us who value life.
I happen to agree with you. Roe v. Wade needs to be reversed and then a real debate and political action taken at the state level. Homosexual marriage is being dealt with at the state level right now though judicial fiat has established it where it is being practiced. People can move between states if they find their local government engaging in policies to which they are adamantly opposed. Or they can work to elect people who will enact law according to their own principles. As it stands now with much of this stuff being decreed by judges there is no effective democratic way to address it. And this is why there is such frustration and anger over these issues.
“Abortion is a state issue. It should not be dealt with at the federal level.”
that sounds a lot like what James Buchanan and Stephen Douglas would say. I’m a Republican and just as slavery was abolished on a federal level, so should abortion. At least we need to keep the federal ban on partial birth abortion.
