Sarah Palin Makes a Statement. Again.

There's the Tenth Amendment however...which I'd rather have there than not even as I am thoroughly opposed to abortion. And I would be willing to leave it up to the States, and particularly to the People, but NOT judicial fiat to decide as was devolved from Roe v Wade.

And I'd be willing to say that as a Constitutionalist, I think Sarah would too.

I think that this would tend to frame your overall outlook on this issue.

What say you?

[Balding_Eagle]

Again, then, as a nation we’ve sunk pretty low.

Agreed, but on the subject of abortion we are pulling out of it, and cover pages like the one we are talking about improve it even further by spreading the message to those who wouldn't hear it otherwise.

A question for you:

What other unalienable rights do you want “the states to decide?”

[onedoug]

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

And the issue I posed to you, please?

[EternalVigilance]

“Powers granted to” and “sworn duties to protect unalienable rights” are two different matters. I’m constantly amazed at how many fail to understand that.

Do you want the states deciding whether or not you can keep and bear arms? Do you want them to have the ability to deny you free speech, free association, freedom of the press, trial by jury? Parental rights? What?

And the right to life is the preeminent right. Without it you can never enjoy any other right.

[onedoug]

Answer a question with questions. I understand. Thank you, and goodnight.

What the libs don’t realize that today is is Downs children, tomorrow it will be children with minor genetic disorders that are easily survivable like Turners, Kleinfelters, etc.... After that it will be those who may have minor genetic diseases like genetic obesity, or any number of minor but easily treatable disorders.

I've always assumed that the target would be those with high intelligence - they're just trouble to any regime whatsoever.

[EternalVigilance]

Perhaps tomorrow you can explain to me which part of the Tenth Amendment that you think relieves any level of government of their sworn obligation to secure God-given unalienable rights.

[Dr. North]

I don’t like the phrase “chose life”.

It implies the choosing death was a valid option.

[Dr. North]

Framing a supposedly pro-life message in pro-”choice” language such as this does more harm than good.

I agree completely.

GOOD if true. She deserves every penny of positive press.

[Lou Budvis]

“Whether or not abortion should ever have been a “choice”, the fact remains that it is. The goal should be to convince people that it’s not a good one.”

Absolutely 100% correct.

[onedoug]

Thanks.

But I can’t see going further circular in this. Sarah thus far has the exclusive franchise on my vote. Your take is different. May God help the best best candidate.

All Good to You and Yours....
