Look at the parental consent laws, EVERY abortuary has a list of judges who are prepared to sign-off on the flimsiest excuse as to why the girl can't tell her parents.

Then there is the ban on partial birth abortions, yet butchers like Tiller and Carhart were and are coming up with "medical reasons" to kill the baby.

These laws are usually proposed by RINOs to placate actual conservatives, but in the end they don't save lives.

Think about what would really happen if a pro-choice-by-state approach were adopted: states such as New York, California, Massachusetts, Illinois and a few others are where nearly all abortions are performed anyway; these are states that will NEVER ban abortion if given the choice and, with the exception of Alaska and Hawaii, just about EVERY WOMAN IN AMERICA is within one day drive of a state that will choose to keep infanticide "legal."

We are in complete agreement on that. I believe that I said earlier in this thread (or one of many others) that a constitutional amendment is the only way to make certain that abortion is outlawed in this country. Even if laws were passed by conservatives in various states outlawing abortion, they could be overturned when a more liberal group is voted into office in a subsequent election. It's time to end this slaughter. The only way to do that is on the federal level. Imho.

This has been a long and frustrating fight. There are times when the slightest hint of progress, regardless of how deceptive, seems positive.
