- xyzzyz 4y agoI don't think that most people would agree that anarcholibertarianism (the system which allocates least decisions to state) is the least "partisan" option. That's not what people understand by partisanship.
- _-david-_ 4y agoI think the person was referring to decision on the legality of abortion, not the decision of having an abortion. Instead of forcing the legality at the federal level it is now at the state level.
- WeylandYutani 4y agoThat would be true if States wouldn't overreach themselves and make it illegal for people to seek abortion in another State or prosecute its citizens. It doesn't take a genius to forsee a standoff between Red and Blue.
- _-david-_ 4y agoStates do this with all sorts of other laws. Look at the tax code in states for example. This isn't really unique.
