Why not just make it harder for them period? I mean we can cap off some of their abortions by making big swaths of states in which there are no legalized abortions. In this case a lot of people simply won't travel the distance.

This is one of my few hang ups with Ron Paul that I just can't get over no matter how much I want to vote for the guy. Roe V Wade got it wrong when they said that you get rights when you are capable of living outside of the mother, but it was an interpretation of the constitution that supercedes the rights of states, same as the bill of rights. Abortion is not murder beyond a reasonable doubt, so you can't prosecute it.

Embryo does not equal baby. Chickens and cows feel more pain and suffering from the meat industry than a fetus does from abortion, and in greater numbers. Humans are members of the Kingdom Animilia. I can understand pro-life vegetarians and their philosophy of sanctity of life, but an embryo doesn't even have a brain, a chicken nugget once did.

It's a moral issue and last I checked this country still runs on morals because if they didn't then everyone would be allowed to kill one another whenever they wanted and never get punished for it. I just want to know why prochoicers want it to be ok for mothers to kill their own innocent children and make them think that it's ok. It's not. It's still murder. These babies bleed just as we would if we underwent such mutilation. Get a conscience!

No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

I'm libertarian, and I am 100% pro-choice. This is a hell of a dilemma since I do not like the Supreme Court making decisions that the Constitution relegates to the states.

BUT from a 100% personal point of view I see Roe v. Wade as the less of two evils. It's curious that many of my fellow libertarians who dislike the system of democracy would leave a woman's abortion decision to a democratic majority of the state.

But again, in terms of the Constitution it basically IS a states' rights issue

im trying but im still naive. im glad to see there are other people who see it the way i do though because i really believe that abortion isn't an issue that the government can fix just by banning it whether one believes it's moral or not

It IS up to the individual now, that's the whole point of Roe V Wade, letting the PERSON decide if it's right, not a government.

How is letting the states govts decide any better than letting the fed govt decide? Well if you're pro-life and you probably are its good because it will be banned in some places, taking away individual choice. You just don't want the Federal Govt to decide because you disagree with their decision.
