It would seem that the 14th amendment should cover cases of a state killing people; not sure about people killing other people.
Oregon allows assisted suicide, which is in essense a person killing another person. Should that be a state issue, or should be pass a federal law making it illegal for any person in the united states to assist in the death of another person?
I think yes, but I don’t know if that view is consistant with my opinion on state’s rights.
When it comes to abortion, I don’t care — when the day comes, I’ll support a federal abortion ban. Unfortunately, that won’t come for a long time; long after the next president has come and gone.
The first step is at least one replacement supreme court judge, maybe two, to firmly destroy Roe-v-Wade.
To Republicans:
The pro-choice for states position is a repudiation of Abraham Lincoln and Ronald Reagan, and the making of common cause with the ideology of folks like Democrat Stephen A. Douglas and RINO Gerald R. Ford.
Stephen Douglas was pro-choice for states on slavery. Lincoln obviously was not.
Gerald R. Ford said abortion should be “up to the states.” Ronald Reagan fought him on that. That’s why twenty seven years ago the personhood, Fourteenth Amendment Reagan plank was inserted into the GOP platform, where it remains to this day...though, sadly, most of the GOP couldn’t care less.
