Constitution Radio Tackles Personhood/Abortion Issue

Sam of Hacienda Heights, California asks:

"Pro-Life people in Mississippi just tried to pass a State Amendment making unborn babies persons. It failed. Colorado, now, for the third time, is trying to grant personhood to the unborn. Basically, their State Constitution amendment would say that a baby is a person at the time of conception. I heard that if it passes it would make abortion illegal. I thought abortion was legal because of Roe v. Wade. And how does the Constitution play into this? Constitutionally, if these States passed their personhood amendments, it would make abortion illegal nationwide, wouldn't it?"

I answered his question on the air last Saturday on the Constitution Speaker Radio program.

Nuts and Nuggets

Nut: Miley Cyrus, the half-dressed wild child that is constantly begging for attention, decided to hop on the Occupy Wall Street bandwagon this week. The young singer put out a YouTube anthem hailing the anti-capitalist protesters that have no solutions, and a plethora of offensive smells.

Miley’s musical tribute for the Big Labor-backed Occupy movement was actually simply more of the same from that hard left hodge-podge of fools. She took “Liberty Walk,” a year-old single; spliced in video footage of union marchers carrying carbon-copy “TAKE BACK OUR DEMOCRACY” signs; tossed in random scenes of global discontent from London to China to San Diego to Salem, Oregon; slapped on a dedication to “the thousands of people who are standing up for what they believe in” (like, whatever that is); stirred; auto-tuned, and released: ‘‘Sayin’ goodbye to the people who tied you up/ It’s a liberty walk, walk/ Feelin’ your heart again/ Breathin’ new oxygen/ It’s a liberty walk, walk/ Free yourself, slam the door, not a prisoner anymore!”

Somehow, all the Occupier outbreaks of lice, public defecation, property destruction and rape got left on the cutting-room floor.

Nugget: Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker says he is taking the campaign to recall him as a chance to tell voters of his many achievements over the 11 months he has been in power.

“I believe it’s an opportunity,” Walker tells Newsmax.TV in an exclusive interview. “I’m an optimist. It’s a great chance to remind the people in the state of Wisconsin that the reforms are working and that we’ve got a plan and a positive outlook for the future.

“The majority of the people of Wisconsin elected me to do exactly what I said I’d do,” he added. “I said I’d balance the budget; I’d do it without raising taxes; I’d do it without using tricks or gimmicks that were used in the past and I’d still make sure that we protected seniors and needy families and children and ultimately do things like putting more money in the classroom.

“We did all those things and so a handful of folks want to stand up and cry foul. It’s really because they want to continue to take money out of the pockets of workers without their permission. So in the end it’s not about me keeping my promises, it’s about us standing up to protect workers and the state of Wisconsin as well.”
