Abortion should have been a state by state politicle desition in the first place.

I would also like to point out that, even though these states my have rulign agianst abortion, that does not mean the state actualy supports it. The state is made up by the people.

SO basicly the government subjicated the states aginast thier will at the time. Isn't that illigle?

That's right, but apparently the Supreme Court can get around that by judging one way or the other on cases and re-"interpreting" the constitution. Since reading between the lines is allowed, basically they can make crap up and say, "Well, the founding fathers -implied- that we have a right to privacy."

whats funny is that there ara two mentions of god in the constitution. One direct, and one indirect through the phrase "diving province" IN CAPITAL LETTERS MIND YOU

I like my guns, you can't take them form me. You can ban fire arms but you can't take away the right to own them or make the illigle. If I'm willing to go through all the red tape and can fork over 24 mill. I could get myself a stinger missle if I wanted.

razz Don't see as that's bleeding heart; My definition of bleeding-heart means, like, out of concern for someone else. Like, being against a war because of what it does to the people in the country being attacked is bleeding heart. Being Pro-Life is bleeding heart. But wanting to have privacy, that's not really bleeding heart.

But then, that's just my definition, I don't know what the technical definition of it is. XD

Anyways, the problem is that, even without a stated "right to privacy," you have some obvious things. Like the government can't just bust into your house and start going through things, unless they have reason to believe there's something illegal there. But having a "right to privacy," if you think about it, prevents the government from coming into your house even if they have reasonable cause, and you could get away with pretty much anything as long as it isn't on public property.

Federal law is a step above Congress. It's actually more important.
It's a law in all of the United States, as well as Canada not to murder people. Congress, or Provincial courts can't change that.

Roe v. Wade was a precedent made by the Supreme Court. Because they decided one way all other lawyers of a lower level had to use that as the example. They can't argue against the Supreme Court.
The Supreme Court also had to make a decision one way or another so they looked at all the information and the majority of them decided that this was the best course of action. Basically, most of the 7 or 9 people involved decided that it was alright for a child to die so now no lawyer can go against that and children are dying everywhere.
