It is political expediency, They know damn well once this Ammendment gets out of the bag, not only will it fail, but all their other conservative wet dreams will be washed away. State's right's is a ghost, a shadow, it is meaningless, the same shadow used to put off the civil war for the first hundred years of our nation.
The state has a right to protect you from encroaching federalism, it does not have the right to infringe on (civil and other) rights the federal government affords you.
The only thing they ever see when it comes to abortion is the "loose" woman who who deserves whatever she gets. They aren't pro-life, these people tend to make the lives of young single moms and their kids miserable and bleak. Do you think they ever offer to babysit for a young mother? Maybe offer a scholarship for young mom who chooses to have her kid? How about setting up an afternoon program for kids in low-income neighborhoods where the women who have chosen their way suffer every day looking at their kids face and hoping they can feed them for the next week.

Truly pro-life people are:
Those are the types of positions that truly reduce abortions

Those pro-life people are evangelical nuts with some distorted concept of reality.
If a woman conceives and has a still born child, is that murder? Or if a woman, (while pregnant) has a drink, is it then right for someone from these lunatics to jail her for abuse?
Where is the line drawn for a persons' rights? I UNEQUVICALLY DO NOT believe in abortion; however, I DO believe in a person's right to choose. I would pray that there is a place where there is no judgement of that choice! You know, something like a church that is not motivated by political agendas? That practices the philosophy of God's teaching, and not man's?
But, with pharmacists reefusing to hand out prescriptions because of their beliefs (who should be jailed!), or religious fools blowing up clinics and proposing murder as an alternative, I see why this country is in trouble!
These evengelical nuts are:
Try as they will, they can p[ray for 24 hours a day, attend every church mass, hell they can give all their money to Pat Robbersome (oops, Robertson), that still will not get them into their intended goal, because one sin, no matter how slight negates all that they are working for! Now, THAT myopic view is clearly detailed in the very commandments that they BEAT people over the head with daily!!!
As I said, I DON'T condone abortion, but can clearly see a use for it? Just take a look at the current president!
Case closed!

I heard Tucker Carlson ranting today about how Thompson's position meant that he is fully "pro-choice". It means nothing of the sort. If it were left to the states, abortion rights would be decimated. Even if it weren't outright banned, it would be chipped away with so many regulations and constraints that it might as well be banned.
