the U.S. Supreme Court did rule that the federal law was constitutional

The U.S. Supreme Court did rule that there is a constitutional right to abortion - does that make it true?

Congressional "findings and declarations"

Those are 'evidence' only of Congress' desire for power.

Prior to Prohibition, our country attempted to regulate alcohol on a state-by-state basis. It didn't work then, and it won't work today with drugs.

The power to enact Prohibition was granted by a constitutional amendment - there is none such regarding other drugs.

They ruled a constitutional right to privacy -- under which abortion was protected. True or not, their ruling makes abortion legal.

Then your job is easy. Refute their findings and the law comes crashing down.

True. But it wasn't required.
