Is Vivek Ramaswamy the Only Republican Presidential Candidate Who Understands the Constitution?
• https://www.lewrockwell.com, By Laurence M. VanceSaid Ramaswamy:
My view, as someone who is running for U.S. president, responding to the question about the Supreme Court case, was that Roe v. Wade was correct to be turned on constitutional grounds. It was made-up jurisprudence … it leads also to the path to moving forward, which is, that I think the federal government should stay out of it.
I think I'm the only Republican candidate in this field who has come out and said, "I would not support a federal abortion ban of any kind." On principled ground, because I am grounded in constitutional principles, and I think there's no legal basis for the federal government to legislate.
I don't believe a federal abortion ban makes any sense, and I say this as somebody who is pro-life. This is not an issue for the federal government. It is an issue for the states. I think we need to be explicit about that.
