Does no one understand freedom? Especially Republicans?
You supported Obamacare. Sort of presumptuous to now claim the upper hand on freedom in health controversial health care matters.

I have not yet heard a justification for taking them away.
Many people have widely varying beliefs on abortion and there is no broad agreement on the topic. There was never going to be agreement that RvW was a one-size-fits-all solution. This problem is custom-made for and demands a state-by-state solution. People in California and Texas have polar opposite views on the subject. It is literally the raison d'être for state's rights on which many of us take great national pride. Alexis de Tocqueville, himself, found federalism and state's rights to be one of the most admirable qualifies of the USA as a nation.

So, when it comes to abortion we have to make EVERYONE unhappy with our chosen outcome?

While I know you're committed to a nationally codified commitment to abortion, isn't it enough that the states can establish laws accommodating the desires of the state's own residents? And that we have elections in Texas that allow us to change the laws if anyone wants to do it. I would vote for changing it.

Your answer is, "Liberty". But not having state income taxes is liberty, too, yet most states do have a state income tax. It is a practical solution to an otherwise intractable problem. Just like varying rules on abortion -- and we can usually count on Texas and California to reflect the extremes of varying rules.

I'm satisfied that over time this will settle out. Whether it is in OUR time or not who knows. It is too bad there is no one-size-fits-all solution, but that's just where we are at a moment in time.
