[QUOTE="Dr. Aaoouh, post: 7032047, member: 20518"] This isn’t as simple as you make it. First is the question of whether a “right” is simply contingent on what a state says it is or whether it’s something that everyone possesses inalienably. The states that want to ban abortion within their own borders also believe that there is no right to abortion as such. If you have been watching, the States that have tried to ban abortion recently have also tried to make it illegal to travel to another state for an abortion as well. Probably no coincidently, the States that want to ban abortion want to ban gay marriage and in some cases make homosexual relations illegal (again). The problem here is that it would make one’s gay marriage illegal in some states but not others. Some States that want to make abortion illegal also want to make it a capital crime for both the mother and the medical personnel involved. And a person who assists in other ways, like driving the woman to the abortionist, would be considered an accessory. This distinguishing of rights by state goes further than abortion and it’s becoming disturbing. Various voting “rights” are being defined locally now. The supposed separation of church and state is as well. The history of the US from the Civil War to now has been about the opposition between so-called “States’s rights” and universal rights. These recent developments are a step backwards. [/QUOTE]
