We the People of the Preamble in no way ever conceded a charter to the national or "federal" government to determine abortion "rights" or the right of gay "marriage." In these regards, the U.S. Constitution is officially and forever "silent," leaving such matters as most directly affecting the people in their values and mores to the States, ultimately to to the People themselves.
That is precisely why the Left Progressives always try to come at us from the side of the Judiciary. They know their causes are unlikely to prevail in Congress; and also that they are highly unlikely to prevail in State legislatures.
So, they invoke the Fourteenth Amendment, in order to get standing in Federal court. And then, all Hell breaks loose....
For it seems the Courts (federal and State) seem to think the Constitution is a book that specifies the rules of etiquette, like Dear Abby; it is not a description of a binding rule of law.
And heaven knows, the lawyerly class out there, which determines so much in terms of American life, are not exactly known for their "etiquette" or courtesy to others. Not to put too fine a point on it, but a great many lawyers these days seem to make their living out the the suffering of others....
I better shut up now!!!
Just wanted to let you know, dear brother in Christ, that I totally agree with you, on the relevant points. And thank you so much for writing!
