Again, government intervention is necessary to mandate that the procedure is available to patients.
If you had listened the other night, you would have noticed that McCain said "Leave it to the states to decide." because he's a Federalist. he said that he thought it was a bad decision, but he said that because he stated that he felt that the
decision should be mandated within the states individually in order to keep the federal government smaller.
Those are key points for what you're arguing.
The ONLY reason you're wanting the Federal Govt to uphold RvW is because it's enforcing the position YOU believe in, whereas if it disagreed with your position, you would be railing and yelling about "State's rights! State's rights! Leave it to the people in the state to decide! State's rights!!"

You are excellent at debate, and I am not, in this case, for reasons ranging from my priorities at this very moment, (my son wants my attention) to my lack of knowledge in some ares. BUT... |
A) Yes, I am excellent at debate.
B) I don't care what your priorities are, if you can't manage them and maintain a coherent posting pattern for the sake of debate, perhaps you need to focus your energies on one or the other, but not both.
If your son needs the attention, pay it to him, but don't use him as an excuse when your posts are systematically dismantled by myself or another member, claiming "Oh, I was distracted by my son, you know the 4 year olds special needs child I'm raising..."

Shimmer, I feel you simply want to argue, which is evident to all who follow us around this thread, whether they lurk, thank, or actually post. |
That's quite interesting given my posting history in this thread has HUGE gaps in it. Further to the point, I've generally abstained from the debate simply due to lack of interest in attempting to reason with people who refuse to see anything other than their own focus.

Why do so few people post? Well, Specktra *is* mainly a forum for makeup discussion...But I cannot help imagining some people feel intimidated, especially when they might step on the toes of mods.
Mods are people, just like the rest of us.) |
We certainly are, and we have the same distractions anyone else does.

Of course, I present the view of my candidate (as found all over the Internet, not simply in this one article.)
Of course, I will be biased. Politics is never objective, as it's about "people".]
I must choose the person/people whose values *most* resound within me. |
Please do so.
Understand that I will be doing the same.

I'm glad you're not implying I don't.

May our country be about equality, a celebration of diversity, a fabric of people from everywhere, a place people may look to and say, "The USA is a country of free, peaceful people." I am such a hippy; yes, I know.
Hope your Day is beautiful!
