Another example: the International Criminal Court so beloved of eurostatists, which would have global jurisdiction - in the U.S. that would be a contravention of our constitution.

As opposed to the dictates of Cowboy George Jr deciding what is in the best interest of the world?
Other than the fact that he makes his decisions based on getting re-elected and panders to the neoconservative (read neo fascist) leanings of slightly less than one half of the pitiful number of people in the US who actually vote, why should anyone else have any say in how the world should run?
International Law is actually a number of treaties signed between consenting nations. The US voluntarily signed these treaties and is now ignoring them.
Is that the sort of a nation you want to be? One that cannot be trusted to honour your own freely entered international obligations?

That has been the program for years of NARAL and NOW, the main pro-abortion organizations, who have fiercely fought any possible restriction, including the recently passed partial birth abortion ban, (which was of course immediately stopped by liberal/left judges). No restriction is the same as abortion on demand.

What is wrong with abortion on demand? It may offend your religious leanings but it is the protected by the Constitution that you defended above.
Is supporting and defending the constitution an absolute for you or simply a matter of picking and choosing what you like as in a smorgasbord?
I would agree on restrictions on abortions if you agreed to, at random, accept and adopt any child and all children born to mothers that did not want to raise them. This would include providing acceptable prenatal care to the expectant mother. This would of course be without consideration for race and health issues of the mother or child.
