Sounds good. I am just sick of things being decided by courts rather than people. If it could directly effect my life, I want a say in it. Not neccesarilly by a direct vote but by the representitive that we elected and who is looking out for us rather that big business. It goes against what the US constitution says for a judge to decide how a major issue should be handled. Who says abortion is a federal issue anyway?? You can try to link it to the constitution but the facts are, it doesn't say one way or the other. Let the states decide for themselves. Not some judge within a state; what makes his opinion anymore valid than yours or mine?? Put it to a vote. I don't care if it's a statewide ballot initiative or a vote by the representitives at the capitol, it shouldn't be up to one or two people to make a decision on something that major. Bottom line-if it's not clearly stated in the constitution, it's up to the states. And no offense to the Aussies (I fought with you guys in Afganistan, thanks for your service), but the states SHOULD have all that power. If it's carefully monitered, we will prosper and not have to pay 60% fed taxes.
