Senator and Progressive-Democratic Party Presidential candidate Kamala Harris (D, CA) wants to further erode Federalism in our nation’s structure and have the central government pass on certain kinds of State laws before those laws can be…permitted…to take effect. Harris’ position and proposal is well summarized in the sub-headline of the article at the link:
The Democratic presidential hopeful wants the Justice Department to review state laws restricting abortion before they would take effect
Since a core principle of our nation, acknowledged in our Declaration of Independence, centers on our Creator-endowed right to life, and it is the duty of any government, especially including ours, to protect the lives of those in its care—or even simply within its jurisdiction—I offer an alternative requirement, albeit one that parallels Harris’ attack on our federal structure.
The Justice Department should review state laws permitting abortion, particularly with a view to assessing their impact on life, before they would take effect
This would enable the central government to protect the baby’s life from being aborted in any but the most extreme circumstance.
It should be clear, after all, that abortion has absolutely nothing to do with women’s right to control their own bodies and everything to do with the baby’s—who in any abortion procedure has no one to speak for him—right simply to maintain his body. Abortion has absolutely nothing to do with women’s “rights” generally and everything to do with the baby’s right to life.
Except in the minds of Progressive-Democrats.
Harris obviously has forgotten – if she ever really learned – everything about the 9th and 10th Amendments. Which, I note, were required by the States and the citizens before they would ratify a new Constitution.
