Should the Federal Government be Involved in Such Things As g*y Marriage and Abortion?

Question

Or should it be a state-by-state issue?

Answer 1

Not abortion, but there could be instances of fraud under same-s*x marriages.

Answer 2

Nope, we are a federalist nation, and since those issues are not outlined in the Constitution, they belong in each individual state to decide.

The only problem with the g*y marriage issue, is the "Full faith and credit clause." Although, it isn't enforced very often, and there are many ways around it.

Answer 3

Prohibition of alcohol wasn't a state issue.

If your state loves bashing the g**s and controlling pregnancy for a few months, pass an ammendment.

States' rights is not a Religion. It is a sound principle that is practiced only in moderation and with sound judgement.

Answer 4

no, those social issues should be left to each state to decide.

Answer 5

No.  There are already enough homosexuals in the Federal Government and they already kill enough people.

Answer 6

Neither one should be involved in g*y marriage or abortion.  And I'm a Republican.

I just don't care to hear about non-issues that don't make any difference to my immediate situation, such as whether or not pot is legal.

Answer 7

Well.. I deplore abortions, but I do think this and g*y marriage belong at the state level.

If California wants to legalize both...other states should have the right to keep both illegal and not be forced to recognize California law.

Answer 8

If a lady wants an Abortion the my feeling is...you do it yourself...

If you argue that no one has the right to manipulate your body then you must respect the States right for not wanting to...

you can't have it both ways...

g*y Marriages...complicates things. Let's not have it...it will s***w up our young...

Answer 9

They should not be a political issues at all. Government should only  make laws governing behavior when their is a consensus and not be used to impose the values  of a minority or even a majority  on matters that do not effect the public good.

Answer 10

well, the g*y marriage thing is by state sweety.

um the abortion thing is losing human beings so i consider it murder...but on the other hand i think women should have the right to control whats in their bodies...you know?

Answer 11

It should be a state issue

Answer 12

abortion--if you want the government in charge of your p***y.

Answer 13

I'm against abortion, but I don't feel like it should be completely banned for obvious reasons. Rape, etc. The morning after pill isn't 100% effective. For g*y marriage, I don't have a problem with it. If they're in love, why not? Nobody can control the feelings they have or who they love, and it's not ours or the governments business.

"but there could be instances of fraud under same-s*x marriages." That happens with regular marriages, too.

Answer 14

The states should be left to decide. A select group of people should not have the final say. For the entire country. There is no right answer the best we can do is let the various states decide.

Answer 15

no it shouldnt
