“abortion is a decision that must be made at the state level.”
“we are satisfied, upon a careful examination of all the cases decided in the State courts of Missouri referred to, that it is now firmly settled by the decisions of the highest court in the State, that Scott and his family upon their return were not free, but were, by the laws of Missouri, the property of the defendant; and that the Circuit Court of the United States had no jurisdiction, when, by the laws of the State, the plaintiff was a slave, and not a citizen.”
Nice strawman but it won’t work. You’re comparing apples and oranges. Yes, that was a state level decision, but at the time, slavery was legal in the United States at the time (federal level as well). Some states had decisions against slavery, some had decisions for slavery. That’s the way it’s supposed to work. States make their decisions and you live in a state that supports what you want. What you want is the federal government to TELL states what to do, which in your case is to ban abortion. But why do you want the federal government to have such power? Do you realize that if you get people in who will give you what you want, you establish a precedent, federal government as all powerful over every decision in your life. Then somewhere down the road people get elected to a majority and they don’t think like you...but guess what, they have that power that you let your friends establish. Now you have people who are opposite of you TELLING you what you can do with intimate details of your life.
I’m sorry but limited government must be for all, not just for those we don’t like. You’re no different than liberals if that’s what you want.
