It should be up to the states as should most things.
Really? Which other unalienable rights are you and Steele willing to "let states decide"?

Please tell us where abortion is listed as an "inalienable right"? Certainly not in the Constitution, nor by the Founders, nor by current US law. Five folk in robes foolishly found it as an emanation of a penumbra, but little more.

Secondly, the poster said "MOST things". They did not say ALL things.

Third, the Tenth Amendment is pretty clear. You might try reading it sometime.

Abortion is not a right, nor could it ever be.

The Tenth Amendment in no way supports a “states’ rights trumps unalienable rights” argument. This isn’t possible, since the stated purpose of the Constitution is “to secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves AND OUR POSTERITY,” and because the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments protect all innocent persons from being killed. EVERYWHERE in America.

I don’t think you’re following the debate here.

The Inalienable right he was takling about was the right to life.

Under their robes, the judges were emanating from their own penumbras.
