After 1973, the Supreme Court ruled in it's famous "Roe vs. Wade" decision, that Abortion is a personal right emanating from the penumbra of the 14th amendment. A decision that is hilariously unsupportable were it not so horrible. <br /><br />They later decided (when they had to either affirm or denounce their Roe vs. Wade decision) "Stare Decisis." Which means STFU! "Your miserable life is not worth the reversal of a Custer decision." <br /><br /><br />The Abortion issue was not a national issue till the Liberal Supreme court made it into one. Liberal States allowed it, Conservative states didn't. It was the forcing of the Liberal position onto other states that provoked the backlash. <br /><br />With that in mind, many if not most pro-lifers would be content to de-federalize the issue, then fight it out on a state by state basis. It is obvious to me that this would mostly defuse the issue, as liberal states would keep it, and conservative states would outlaw it. As it can be presumed that Most of the supporters and detractors reside in their own state, the local mindset would hold sway regardless of what outsiders wanted to impose.RavingDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07671059573191161552noreply@blogger.com
