It is not a state's rights issue. In fact, if Roe v. Wade is overturned no more than a week would go by before a bill was introduced in Congress outlawing abortion nationwide.

It is a states rights issue, the Constitution was written to give individual states most of the issues.

I would suggest you google "Federal Criminal Offenses". You will find a very short list, as it should be.

Powers not granted to the federal government in the constitution are granted to the states. Since the constiution says nothing about abortion (ignore Roe vs Wade for a moment) then it is a power in the hands of the states.

If Paul was running for governer then perhaps he would be running on an anti-abortion platform.

Boy would that be awful! Can you imagine all those babies not being aborted?? The humanity!

*cue back-alley abortion hysterics, to which I respond with a quote from Planned Parenthood's medical director saying that technology has advanced enough for abortion to be performed safely by virtually any layperson...in 1960*

Edited to add: And of course by "safely" she is only referring to the mother LDO. Still quite unsafe for the baby/fetus/potential human/ball of cells/worm/parasite, depending on your preference.

It is UNBELIEVABLY dishonest to say "Imagine all those babies not being aborted" as if THAT is the atrocity of outlawing abortions.

I would suggest that you pick up a copy of Title 18 of the United States Code, and stop trying to pass off some random google search as legal expertise.

I own a copy. Its actually sitting right in front of me, as well as the Bachelors in Criminal Justice hanging on my wall, on the same shelf my badge and service weapon are sitting.

Murder is not a federal offense.

If a foreign ambassador is murdered in Washington D.C. it is a federal case. How can it be a federal case if it is not a fedral offense?
