Roe v. Wade

[TeePee4Prez]

No.  State legislatures are poor representation of the electorate on this issue and I'm glad the Federal government stepped in to balance it out.  In states like Pennsylvania, a clear majority say of 20 points, is pro-choice.  You wouldn't know that if you looked at our legislative roster because you know why, and this is something the Supreme Court should have taken care of- GERRYMANDERING!

Yes (D)

In states like Pennsylvania, a clear majority say of 20 points, is pro-choice.

Where did you get that figure?  Just curious.

Most recent SUSA poll done on choice.

Yeah and I guess you believe the numbers showing states like North and South Dakota are in favor of legalized abortion, too?

Utah and Louisiana don't favor it according to the poll.  Come on, PA shows 20 POINTS in favor of even on a poll like that says something and it was higher than the national average.  You fail yet again to address my point about underepresentation and gerrymandering, but I know you're a partisan hack and jackass so you will continue to act like a 5 year old and say Rick Santorum represents your common Pennsylvanian.

So because Utah and Louisiana are Pro Life here, that means it's accurate? Address my point about North and South Dakota. I think they even had Kansas and Nebraska as Pro Choice states!

Blaming every single thing on "Johnny"mandering is not really a point. Rick Santorum does represent your average Pennsylvanian and you had to turn to someone who is most like him and a fellow Pro Lifer to have a real shot at winning his Senate seat.

Note to everyone that Flyers started making this a Santorum fight, not me.

Well the Dakotas have a pretty Democratic delegation to Congress and are more or less libertarian in ideology as are most of the High Plains.  Most of the Southern states polled were pretty much even or slightly pro-life.  This concept of "leave it to the states" is a tired excuse pro-lifers use and Pennsylvania is the pinnacle example of how an out of touch legislature can screw it up for us.

Flyers, if the Pennsylvania legislature is so out of touch, why should it be deciding anything?  Why should abortion be the only issue taken away from it?  Why not take away all issues from this legislature?

If Roe were overturned there would be an outright war in this state and it wouldn't be pretty.  Philadelphia, Montgomery, Bucks, etc. would be fuming if abortion were otulawed and dare I say there would be the possibility of secession.  PA 6 and 8 would definitely now go to the Democrats and likely a few more State House seats.

So you're saying that the courts should deal with legislative issues because the political process can't handle those issues?

Apparently not in Pennsylvania.
