Do you not understand the difference between a Right (Right to life, which is protected by the Constitution) and a crime (murder, which is defined by State code)? Murder is not defined by the Constitution, therefore if someone argues that abortion is murder, that’s consistent with it being a state issue, not federal.
My opinion, yes.
I think you’re conflating the right to life with the act of taking a life. They are two different things.
The unborn surly must have the same right to life in every state, right? If so, how can different states differ on when one is allowed to end the life?
In 2016, it was everything to this prominent Republican in southern Indiana, and he wasn't shy about saying it.
Chancellor: It's about Supreme Court
For Steve Chancellor, this presidential election pares down to one issue: the United States Supreme Court.

You're confusing him with the vast majority of voters who don't think that way...In 2016, it was everything to this prominent Republican in southern Indiana, and he wasn't shy about saying it.

If everyone agreed with me, then I would say yes, but that’s the beauty of our republic, each state and its citizens get to make its/their own decision about whether an unborn child has a right to life. If the constitution explicitly said that the right to life applies to all unborn children from the time of conception, then it would be a federal issue. But because of the different opinions on how “life” is defined, the constitution doesn’t clearly apply, therefore leaving the issue to the states, where it belongs.
I don’t think you understand the intent of the senate filibuster. It is designed to make sure that laws are deliberate and highly acceptable and prevent against wild swings in the country.
Think about abortion. Democratic control senate and POTUS abortion is legal on demand through full term. 2 years later in 2024 Republican Senate and President Desantis abortion is illegal in the country. You think that’s better.
Hate to break it to people but we are a Constitutional Representative Republic. Not a democracy. There’s a reason for that. Majority rule does not work.

How many times are you gonna try to ask the same question in a different way? You're not making the point you think you are. And by asking the same thing numerous times, you'll continue to get the same answer from the people you're asking...
You're trying to explain how government works to someone who has no understanding of it. It's like trying to explain to a brick wall why it's made up of bricks...
So do you think the intent of the system was for it to be impossible to legislate? Is all legislation supposed to happen via executive order and the courts?
If they agree that the same right to life exists in every state how can they agree that this is a states rights issue? Nobody has yet said that the same right to life does not exist in very state.
How many stupid questions have you asked so far today? Still babbling and confused about yesterday?
Executive Orders are not legislation. The courts do not write laws either. Do you not understand the separation of powers?
So far in 2022 St. Louis, Cleveland, Baltimore, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Memphis, Milwaukee and Indianapolis all had higher rates of violent crime per capita than Chicago. If you base it on all cities with more than 25k people Chicago doesn't crack the top 100. What were you saying about pushing falsehoods again?
My take is md is saying that if you truly believe the right to life is a universal thing, geography shouldn't matter. State lines shouldn't matter. It should be for the entire country. Why are you claiming it's a state's rights issue.
Imo the reality is that right to lifers believe it should be a federal law. This is just the stepping stone to that. If it were to become federal law they would have severe memory loss about the state's rights argument.
The SCOTUS appointments are paying off for the right. But as what always happens, with both sides, is they are going too far......past where most of the country is positioned. Whether it be guns or civil rights or abortion, they will be galvanizing the left and bringing them to the polls in droves. The same thing the left did and is doing with social issues and climate/oil etc. Rinse and repeat.

The intent of the Constitution is protect the rights the citizen and the form of government instituted by the founding fathers was to LIMIT the control of government. So no. The intent is to never legislate, but only to legislate in a manner which is most beneficial to all the nation's citizens. Not 50% +1. This is the tyranny of the majority. Interesting, IIRC the Texas legislature meets every other year. Fewer sessions. Fewer laws. Fewer laws. Greater liberty.
So, the filibuster must be in the original process if that was the intent, correct?
Also, isn’t this what the other branches of government are for? The purpose of the legislature is to legislate. Other branches are for the other functions
The filibuster came about to protect the simple minority. Guess which party had used it more? 60’votes is for the end of debate. I don’t think most common sense people want a government in which the minority is not protected. That’s how countries become shit. You like the majority rule outcome in cities like Chicago? NYC? Philadelphia? DC? Maybe you do. And get it out of you head that the founding fathers wish was for professional politicians who stayed in office for 40 years and became millionaires by writing new laws. Show me in the Federalist Papers that intent.

“The agent said they were verifying that people who bought multiple firearms still had the guns in their possession.

I was embarrassed,” the homeowner said. “My neighbors saw the whole thing – guys in these police vests standing in my yard. I was really uncomfortable. I felt really confused, like I was in some way being accused of something even though I didn’t commit a crime. It was quite embarrassing. I knew they couldn’t come in, but I didn’t know what to do. I didn’t want to get put on some watch list. We just got new gun laws here. I didn’t want them coming back again. I felt like they were invading my privacy.”

If they are showing up on your doorstep, you are already on a "watch list" and this whole thing proves what we have been saying about the left and gun control all along.
