Roe v Wade pertained to a Texas law denying abortions and was ruled unconstitutional by SCOTUS.

As the SCOTUS found the right of women to have abortions in the Constitution where it doesn’t exist, they could well find that the 10th and 2nd do not apply to the states. They’re wrong, but they make the rules. So far anyway.

IMHO this subject is about state sovereignty and is backed by the Constitution.

I am always amazed at conservatives worrying about whenther the 2amd was meant to apply to the states or just to Congress. It is the one amendment with universal wording. Other amendments place prohibitions specifically on Congress-"Congress shall make no law..." 2Amd says "...the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed..." There is no mention of Congress or anyone else. It is a universal prohibition. I used to think that private property owners could ban carry on their property but that amendment says "shall not be infringed" - infringed by whom? infringed by anyone at all. There are no limits on who may not infringe. It does not limit who may or may not infringe nor does it limit against whom there may or may not be infringement.
