Yeah, the GOP is all about states' rights in overturning RvW.

A month ago you were saying that overturning RvW would simply return the issue to the states, the laboratories of democracy. Now we're arguing about whether NARAL is the KKK of the late 20th century.

I think the libertarian wing of the GOP has neither the power nor the inclination to defend states' rights on this issue if RvW is overturned. It will simply be a matter of which side wins the legislative debate over the personhood of American fetuses. So I'd like the GOP leadership to stop lying about its intentions in this regard. They* want to federalize abortion law; they just want the law to go their way on it.
