RE: Roe vs. Wade bad...

"So then we'd have women crossing state lines to get abortions they couldn't get at home.... Yeah, that's good law."

It is good law. Women who choose to have abortions in states where it is not allowed are living in the wrong state.

Who would you trust more to know the will of the people? I hope you would say your state government. You cannot make a reasonable argument that someone in Washington knows what is best for someone in Kalispell or Boise or Shreveport. The "one size fits all" mentality is a large source of much of the resentment and unrest in this country. People live in small communities or large communities for a reason. What goes in New York certainly doesn't go in Brown Mountain, and vice versa.

As for legislating morality...

There goes that good old liberal double standard. When it comes to abortion, we can't legislate people's morality, but you won't hesitate to thrash us about the head and shoulders with morality when it comes to environmentalism, redistributionism, government-run schools, or other attributes of collectivism. You can't have it both ways.

Besides, those of us who would regulate abortion have no interest in regulating anyone's morality. For all we care, they can play footsie with whomever they please. We just won't allow them to duck the consequences by killing the progeny of said activities.
