I haven't heard anything from him that sounds anything like that at all, and it definitely isn't how I understand his position to be.
In the absence of asking the man directly, can you cite a source?

- bmelton 15y agoThanks for the link. I hadn't seen the text of this before now. It's interesting how interpretations are so easily drawn, because while you cite the "Deems human life" as synopsis, I draw "each state has authority to protect the lives of unborn children residing in the jurisdiction of that state" as justification that it simply allows states to have more sovereignty. That said, I agree that the language, which I don't personally agree with (or have much opinion on) would likely tie the hands of states trying to enforce or enact pro-choice legislation.
