Santorum Argues States Should be Able to Ban Birth Control, Sodomy

What? Seriously, what? So, Rick Santorum thinks that states ought to be allowed to pass laws against birth control. Against sodomy. If they have the power to do that, what don't they have power over? Does that sound like freedom to you? Does it sound like small government? And before you answer, remember that birth control prevents disease, and reduces abortion. And sodomy? Sodomy can be defined as just about any sex act besides missionary (straight) married sex. Just how popular do you think these ideas are, on a national scale?

Rick Santorum: States Should Have Power To Ban Birth Control, Sodomy
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum, whose strong base of evangelical Christian supporters has thrust him into contention in Iowa, said on Monday that he believes states should have the right to outlaw birth control and sodomy without the interference of the Supreme Court. . .
If you believe in State's rights, then Santorum's belief's are valid.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am sure you believe in State's rights on these issues. If you belive in the power of the Fed's, you would never have gay marriage right now. But because gay marriage is a state issue, now you have gay marriage in many states.
Can't have it both ways. Either you believe in states rights for the good and the bad or believe in the power of the Feds which is mostly bad.
So, which do you support- state rights or the power of the Feds and if you believe in the power of the Feds, you have to admit there would be no gay marriage.
I'm not trying to have it both ways. The Supreme Court and the Constitution overrule certain things that the states can do. They cannot reinact slavery. They can't make blatantly discriminatory laws.
ReplyDeleteWhat I want to know is how a conservative can claim to be "small government," and then try to invade people's personal lives. Gay marriage OUGHT to be a conservative--or at least libertarian--issue. And when it hits the Supreme Court, it's possible that it will be federally recognized.
