DD, do you not think a whole host of states wouldn't run out and outlaw abortion if they had the power?

No because in the 5 years before 1973, 16 states, with 41 percent of the nation's population — including then-Governor Reagan's California — liberalized their abortion laws. I also doubt any state that would outlaw 1st trimester abortions (the most commont type).

She sounds like the people in the Leftist demonstrations in europe.

Wow, the Christian Right and the European Left are the same? Or perhaps it just goes to show there are morons in every political camp.

No, Sloww, I only ever here of "states' rights" when the state in question doesn't want to treat its citizenry fairly, as in the issue of slavery, civil rights, abortion rights, overtime, patent enforcement, quality education . . . Hell, the only time these states' righters don't want states' rights is when it interferes with their ability to defraud the whole country and stik an unelected loser in the nation's highest office.

I tell you what, hot-shot.
I'm about as tired of hearing references to slavery as I am seeing discussions degenerate to references of Hitler.
Why don't one of you start a slavery thread.
Put forth all your supreme knowledge, so I can dismantle once and for all.
Go get your mis-informed History professor wannabe from Iowa to help.
Blow his ass out of the water while I'm at it.

Texas is also responsible for our silly marijuana laws... which were a product of racism against Mexicans.

That was a different time. The nation has moved very far to the right, such that if Nixon could run on his 1972 platform today, he'd be running to the left of the mainstream of the Democratic Party. Since then, many states have tried to restrict abortion access as much as possible. Every few years, a state tries to ban 3rd timester abortions. Many states require a mandatory waiting period, i.e., you go to the doctor, then you have to come back 24 to 48 hours later. That means another day off work, and if you live in the 86% of US counties that have no abortion providers, a long trip with all the expenses that entails. Then there's the parental notification laws, even in cases of sexually or physically abusive parents (some laws have the ability for the teen to get a judge's permission in such cases). In such states as Louisiana and Alabama I can easily see abortion outlawed.

Shut up, Sava. We deal with Mexicans by getting other Mexicans to lock themin the back of hot trailers.

You know, I wrote of those illegals, 19 or whatever this last time dying in the trailer.
Seriously, it was a Hispanic 23 year old woman running the operation.
Done with the thread-jack now.

This is off topic but you brought this up. From this statement, can I take it that you support Ashcroft pissing on California's marijuana initiative?

[Sava]

Settle down there cowpoke, you know I never miss an opprotunity to take a swing at Texas.

[SlowwHand]

Why don't yo ucome visiting in Texas, Sava?
No kidding. You can always leave, you know.

[Sava]

You think you got me here, don'tcha. Well you don't.

Seriously, this sort of illustrates my point. Here we have states laws that increase the freedom of their citizens, and these "states' righters" like Ashcroft bring down the full weight of the Federal government upon them. States' rights is a sham.

Only humans should have rights.

Actually I do. Because Ashcroft isn't a State's righter.
