No. I want to be clear. Returning the issue to the States is the best thing we can hope for on abortion AT THIS POINT. What I object to is then condemning a specific state which is exercising its right to make abortion policy as it sees fit. I will also say, however, that if abortion is the taking of a life then I don't know how we have any intellectual consistency in agreeing with the view that says, "well, 70% of the population is okay with killing THIS type of person." Imagine accepting this framing on slavery today. AGAIN, I know most people have been so heavily propagandized, at this point, into accepting abortion as a "right" that my view is in the minority, but the acceptance of abortion as a legitimate practice is still evil. Sorry, but it is.
