An Open Letter to Bill Randall – Part 2
May 20, 2010 - by
Dear Bill,
Here is the second question about the debate. You were asked, Are you pro-life?
Now most Republicans are pro-life – though they disagree on the best way to end abortion; some favor passing a Constitutional Amendment to make abortion illegal outright; others favor passing a Constitutional Amendment to let each state decide its own abortion laws – as was done before Roe vs. Wade.
At the debate Bernie Reeves said he supports a Constitutional Amendment to let the states determine their own abortion laws – an answer that made some Republicans mad.
You said, “If we cannot protect the innocent in the womb, what does that say for us as a nation?” – an evocative answer that avoided making anyone angry.
However, at Tea Party events you have said, repeatedly, if elected you will fight to restore States Rights under the 10th Amendment. So do you favor the federal government setting abortion law for the entire nation by passing a Constitutional Amendment to ban abortion, or is your position the same as Bernie Reeves – that each state should determine its own abortion laws?
