If you are a single issue voter and this is your issue then I guess you will get what you have always gotten....nothing.

Actually, I am a single issue voter.

I vote for candidates who will obey the Constitution and the Constitution says NOTHING about any state having the "right" to declare persons to be "nonpersons" in order to facilitate their murder. Our Republic experimented with this for the better part of a century and was nearly destroyed as a result.

The Pauls and their libertarian ilk are wed to the absurd idea that states have the "right" to circumvent the Constitution. They are the epitome of statists because their will condone all levels of tyranny that are carried out at the state or local level.

Libertarians pretend to adhere to the Constitution, but as far as I can tell, their true devotion is to the writings of a Russian atheist.

Apparently you forgot the penumbra envisioned by SCOTUS. Roe v. Wade under cuts your argument whether you like it or not

You have things topsy-turvy.

The Federal Government is the creation of the State, not vice versa. The Constitution clearly articulates what the role of the Federal Government is *limited* to. This is the enumerated powers of Article 1, Section 8.

The current legality of abortion is due to liberal justices abusing the Constitution and finding powers for the Federal Government that do not exist.

The Constitution is silent on abortion, therefore it is a State issue.

It's a ridiculous claim to say that they Rand and Ron Paul condone tyranny at the State level. Rand is a US Sentator, and he's trying to make sure the body he is a part of is following the Constitution, that's his job.

Were he a State Senator I am sure he'd be working against abortion there, but he's not.

And, sadly, States hands are tied because of Supreme Court decisions made by justices who have an expansive view of what it permits. They are wrong.
