Entry: Un-Killing Whitey: The Achievement of Sam Francis Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/unkilling_whitey_the_achievement_of_sam_francis#1343 Post contents: Mr. Culbreath, do you really believe that, if Roe v. Wade were overturned, we wouldn't be better off? Because that is the logic of the argument that you are making. If a federalist solution is no solution, then, in fact, the Supreme Court was right to rule in Roe v. Wade--they just made the wrong ruling. But once you've gone down that road, then you've legitimized the use of central power on an issue that was traditionally reserved to the states. And even if the Supreme Court had overturned all state laws by outlawing abortion nationally rather than allowing it nationally, it would only have been a matter of time before that situation was reversed by Congress or by the Court itself. That's precisely the point that Sam was making in August 1996, and it's the point we make every month in Chronicles. If you really want to protect unborn children, return the matter to the states. No, not every state will restrict abortion. But some will, and that will be better than what we have today--and better than anything that's likely to happen if we all keep drinking the Republican Party's Kool-Aid and dreaming of the day when cynical politicians will actually keep their promises rather than refusing to win moral battles for fear of losing electoral ones.
