State's Rights

The recent Supreme Court decision directly impacts my home state, Washington, where Federal Law regarding "partial birth" abortions now trumps local state law. See today's Seattle PI. I love how state's only have rights for Republicans when it involves capital punishment, gun ownership, flying the dixie flag, or anything else offensive, dubious, mean spirited, or violent. But state's right are out the window for anything that rallys the base. These people are totally irrational hypocrites. How can you be for the death penalty and against abortion? I guess if you look at the fact that both are ways to make minorities suffer it makes some sense.
