    I am not inferring anything, the Supreme Court has made a ruling that has stood the test of time of generations - a ruling that even most Republicans don't want overturned. So if you have issue with that ruling, then you can debate that but as others have said, it is the Supreme Court's job to interpret the constitution. So before you get your panties all up in a wad, I suggest you explain why you disagree with that ruling on constitutional terms specifically addressing the fallacy of the justices in Roe vs. Wade.

    As for the right to bear arms. I am not denying that right, simply requiring that those who want to bear arms be shown to be of sound mind, and that arms don't necessarily need to include weapons that enable someone to kill 50 people in a few minutes.

    So if they put similar restrictions on abortion, you'd support it? How about a 10 day waiting period?

    Why would you want to put a 10 day waiting period on an abortion?

    Restrictions on guns are meant to save lives. Abortion already has restrictions and regulations designed to prevent harm to the mother and many other rules.

    Call it a "cooling down period".

    To be clear though, I wouldn't want one, I want as many abortions as possible. I consider it crime prevention and population control.

    Well the reason for having one with firearms is so people potentially wanting to kill someone with it would have a chance to reconsider the decision.....well with abortion, you are absolutely deciding to kill someone, perhaps there should be the same "cooling down period" so that the decision can be thought about more.

    The 10th Amendment
    So exactly where does the Constitution grant the power to allow abortions????? I will give you a hint, it doesn't. It gives that power to the states. Are you surprised an activist court rules this way. Yet you still do not admit the hypocrisy of liberals wanting to limit the expressly granted right to bear arms yet wanting the federal government to allow abortions. One of these is expressly granted in the Constitution in the 2nd amendment while the other is not which means it is granted to the states to decide.

    Well it's your opinion that an abortion is "killing someone".

    http://law.justia.com/constitution/us/amendment-14/31-abortion.html

    14th Amendment grants that power.

    Liberals are not fighting to limit a right to bear arms. The 2nd Amendment by those liberals who want to ban guns disagree with the interpretation of the 2nd Amendment just as you disagree with the way the court interprets the 14th amendment.

    90% of Americans want greater gun control, so unless you think 90% of the country is liberal, you need to explain why you are singling them out.

    No, it's a fact that an abortion is killing someone. Don't be an intellectual coward, admit what it is and be fine with it. Just under a million babies are killed every year in America via abortion, babies that no one wants and would most likely grow up to be criminals and generally awful people, and the country is a better place for it. If they could double that number, it would be even better.

    There are a number of stated rights in the Constitution that are limited. You give ignorant dopes a bad name.

    I strongly disagree with you. I do not think a fetus is the same as a baby or a human life.

    Well....I mean it is. You can choose to deny it if you like for political reasons but it won't really change anything.

    It's not political for me. But thanks for thinking you know what I think without knowing me at all. Very humble of you.

    There's no need to lie further about it, doing so won't win you any cheap points. You can call it "fetus" or "baby", either way it's a living organism of the species homo sapiens. There is no intelligent way to deny that.....but that doesn't stop people from denying it anyway.

    So you can call it "Ending the life of a living organism of the species homo sapiens in it's early infancy (infancy meaning 'the early stage of growth or development of something')" or you can just say "killing a baby" but you are really saying the same thing.

    What do you consider a morula, blastocyst, or even a zygote then?

    and the 4th amendment too. the TSA is violating the constitution thousands of times a day and most people, especially those on the right, love it.

    why is the 2nd amendment held in greater importance than the rest of the bill of rights?

    It is a shame you stopped your studying at the 10th amendment because the relevant passage from the Constitution comes from the 14th amendment, which guarantees equal protection under the law.

    We are well within acceptable bounds by putting restrictions on these rights, just not unreasonable restrictions.

    Note that every single state, even the most liberal, has restrictions on abortion. The Texas law created restrictions that weren't reasonable.
