The states refusing to provide hope to their citizens in reconstruction and opportunities in employment in both areas of work and research are inhibiting the best outcome for their citizens.
The Justice Department needs to challenge these states on the basis of reducing the unemployment load to their rolls and causing larger deficits and on the basis of human rights and established 'safe and documentable' research in Stem Cell Research.

Lobbyist Rusty Kidd speaks during a meeting of the Senate Health and Human Services Committee Monday March 9, 2009. Kidd, who, is bound to a wheelchair from a spinal cord injury spoke against the bill that could restrict stem cell research in Georgia.
There are human rights violations in this legislature at every turn. It even demonizes and makes criminal the owners of the stem cells. In doing so, they take away 'rights' of the participants in the donation at a fertility clinic and potentially implies that frozen embryos have more rights to exist than their donors.
"...The bill would also prevent a couple who decided they no longer wanted to try to become pregnant from being able to dispose of their frozen embryos kept at a fertility clinic...."
"States Rights" do not include setting up unclaves of ideology that will ultimately cause the nation harm in high unemployment rates, increase in poverty and sustained oppression of citizens that desire improvments in their wellness. These are human rights violations and need to dealt with in an even approach.
For decades it was easy to know when one crossed the Mason-Dixon Line as there has been enforced poverty that benefits the 'greed quotient.' Such impoverishment has been enforced through darconian labor laws such as "The Will to Work" laws allowing employers to refuse to hire anyone based on issues as minor as eye or hair color.
Enough of this mania to control of the electorate of the Red States. There needs to be clear and concise removal of all oppression of these states and replaced with directives to expand their horizons in 'opportunity' other than building nuclear fuel rod facilities, concrete plants and cutting down every tree standing.
The Red States have been oppressed for generations with 'designer' legislation to enforce that oppression and refusing to allow complete and open rights to its citizens. Oppression leads to devote belief in God in a contorted way, in that daily living requires 'great faith' to allow for decades of oppression. The oppression of the faithful is a way of life in Red States rather than the celebration of life in abundance. Enough already. It is time to liberate the Red States and in a manner that will not allow recidivism.
