Do you think states should have the right, under the 10th amendment, ....

Actually, it's the Fed that doesn't have that authority under the 10th Amendment. The Constitution is silent on abortion, and so should be the Federal Government.

Don't like the Constitution??? Change it.

The Constitution imperatively, explicitly, requires the equal protection of the right to life of every person. No exceptions.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."
"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

And its ultimate stated purpose is "to secure the Blessings of Liberty to Posterity."

Abortion is covered under the rights to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

Abortion is depriving a human being of life without due process. So it IS covered.
