I need help debating a member of the Constitution Party against somebody on an IRC I frequent. I'm not very familiar with American politics in particular (I'd say I have some knowledge), so if someone with more knowledge than me could help I'd really appreciate it.
Specifically;
Does the Constitution Party run for Federal office? Wikipedia seems to say so, but according to the party they go for state/local offices only.
Does the following quote - "No government may legalize the taking of the unalienable right to life without justification, including the life of the pre-born; abortion may not be declared lawful by any institution of state or local government - legislative, judicial, or executive." - mean that the State government wouldn't have the right to make abortion lawful?
Thanks in advance

Correct. It would mean under no circumstance could abortion be performed, although the death penalty would still be considered legitamate (because it falls under with justification).mean that the State government wouldn't have the right to make abortion lawful?
Re: On the American Constitution Party
They're a third party. They "run" for federal offices, but they have no monetary support, very little infrastructure, and, consequently, very few votes. They may endorse candidates of other parties (i.e. Obama and McCain were actually endorsed by a large number of different parties across the nation, but they're referred to as a Democrat or Republican because those are the two that matter), but that doesn't really count.
