The Tenth Amendment does not in any way allow the killing of innocent persons, or exclude any officer of government, at any level or in any branch, from their first duty, which is to equally protect the God-given, unalienable rights of the people, starting with the supreme right, the right to live. The Amendment only deals with the legitimate powers of the national and state governments and the people. It does not confer illegitimate powers.

There is no legitimate power to destroy innocent human life. Never has been, never will be.

This principle is the foundation of our form of government and our national claim to liberty.

Ron Paul, echoing Stephen A. Douglass and Gerald R. Ford, has filled millions of Americans’ heads with this nonsense, but it simply isn’t true.

What you are advocating would require a constitutional amendment banning abortions in all states. And I would vote for that, if the amendment process ever got that far. But for right now, that process has not even gotten started, and it would take years before it even has the slightest chance of going anywhere. For right now, what is in sight is overturning Roe v. Wade. If we can accomplish that in the next 4-8 years, that would be wonderful.
