“No, my impression was that you were using the term “morally reprehensible” to describe Abortion — and my point was simply that “morally reprehensible” doesn’t cut it. Abortion is Murder. That’s what makes it different from other “social issues”.”
OK.
“But, while I do believe that the Laws should be written at the State level, I don’t think that we Conservatives (and Pro-Life Libertarians) can ever waver in our support for the Criminal Prohibition of Abortion, because abortion ends a human life and the Law must recognize such life-taking as a civil evil, not just a personal moral vice.”
OK. I can respect your position.
I recognize that many States would not, at this point in our history, see fit to criminalize Abortion; but I believe that the States should (on grounds that the States have always had Tenth Amendment authority over common law matters like homicide) at least be permitted to criminalize Abortion in the 30-or-so Pro-Life "Red States", where the majority of our citizenry and citizen-Legislatures would like to legally prohibit the practice as being a form of contract-homicide and therefore a civil harm.
