RE: RE: 'Roe v. Wade': The divided states of America

The "patchwork quilt of laws" argument is the one abortion apologists use most often to justify national control. Ironically enough, many of these same folks who are also homosexual marriage supporters, drop into a stance of "states' rights" on that issue.

To play devil's advocate here, maybe that's because one could reason the viewpoints listed above are about taking the path of least resistance toward increasing, not decreasing, personal freedoms and equality for as many U.S. citizens as possible.
