I guess this is the "lesser of two evils" sort of debate, isn't it? Personally, I'm not impressed with any government at the moment ... Proposition 73 in California centered around parental consent for underage abortion, the outcome of which would have been a lot more illegal abortions behind parents' backs, a lot more deaths, a lot more suicides and depressed teens. Needless to say, I didn't support it.
Still, if I were pressed to choose, I would have to go with the states' power. This is a big country, and I have hardly any personal power over what happens ... what could my one vote out of 250 million count? But at least statewide, I stand a running chance of getting what I want.
I don't like the idea of anyone messing with my reproductive rights, period. But if they must, they must, even if I fight tooth and nail.
