QOTD: Kasich the moderate

On This Week:

“Well George I hope they do repeal Roe v. Wade and then, you know, it’ll be up to the states to decide how they want to proceed, it’ll be up to them to figure out what they want to do, and that’s precisely what we would do.”
What a slimy piece of work.

He's for a "Human Life Amendment" which proclaims a zygote to have full human rights.   So I wonder if he thinks that it would be cool for California to legalize child murder? Because that's what a "human life amendment" would do. And on the other hand, if say, Ohio, thinks women should be prosecuted for murder well, you know, that's their prerogative too.

This states' rights dodge is annoying generally  but it's cheap and stupid coming from "pro-life" zealots like Kasich. This is supposed to be a matter of life and death.  It's the killing of a full human being with all the rights of any of the rest of us. But it's cool with him is some states decide that this mass killing is ok? Really?

Reporters should push him on this.
