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.
Thank you for the respectful dialog. Hard to come by in this neighborhood where certain types have perfect vision with regards to the faults they see in others.
I have some friends who, while they do not regard themselves as liberals, are pretty solid Democrats. They won’t even listen to me speak positively about Sarah Palin (without them saying they hate/are scared of her/etc.) because of their perception of her views on abortion. I can’t get them to budge an inch and it’s truly a shame because I think if they only got her side of the story, they wouldn’t have such overwhelmingly negative views. I know they would actually agree on certain issues. But the abortion issue blinds them to all else.
Ah well. The war goes on. Have a good night.
