I’ll agree to support states’ rights for Oregon, if those judges can reason far enough to then apply that same standard to states’ anti-abortion laws. Surely if one state can decide to kill its elderly, another state can decide not to kill its babies. And maybe if this were permitted, it would promote a more civil society. People who like euthanasia can move to Oregon, and people who don’t like abortion can move to Kansas.
She makes a great point! I understand why abortion should be legalized, although I personally dislike abortions. Allowing states to make decisions on various decisions makes great sense to me. Example would include same-sex marriage (or civil unions), medical marijuana, euthanasia, abortion. We should let states make these decisions individually. If this encourages some people to move, I have no problem. After all, Nevada having legalized gambling and brothels has influenced population in that state.
