| Message | There is not a single one of these that i feel is less "backwards" than the current laws. Article 1 especially. While I am for a trimester limit on abortion I do not see any rational argument for banning the freedom of choice all together. Article 5 has some merit however would we not just be "policing" our police and weakening them against criminals who possess illegal firearms (or legal for that matter considering we are quite pro-gun here)? A well trained and responsible police force should not have to have their hands tied. |
