"Not over my dead body will they curtail your free speech!"
-- President George "Dubya" Bush (what he should say re: CFR)

Apparently you didn't read the above phrase in the very first page. I am talking about issues that are directly, and not tangentially related. BTW, I have no idea why a ban on partial-birth abortion violates the 10th amendment. The 14th amendment already says that you cannot violate right to life without due process.

I am talking about issues that are directly, and not tangentially related. I was responding to your comment that, "He (Bush) did say he was a man of his words."

FYI, one reason the 14th Amendment doesn't apply to the unborn is that the 14th Amendment only applies to "persons" and the unborn are NOT "persons." Never are, never will be...unless the Constitution is amended to classify them as such.

(One way you can tell that the unborn are not "persons" according to the Constitution is that the Constitution requires a Census that counts all "persons." The unborn aren't counted in the Census. Ergo, they are not persons.)

Absent a Constitutional amendment, there is NO Constitutional "right to life" for the unborn...and, in fact, the 10th Amendment expressly FORBIDS the federal government from becoming involved. (Note: Only some idiot Supreme Court judges see any "right to choose," either. Absent a Constitutional amendment, it's properly a state issue, where each state should decide everything from all forms being completely legal, to all forms being criminal.)
