Where is the states' right to choose on abortion?

We hear so much about a woman's "right to choose" and how Roe vs Wade is somehow magically settled law and untouchable. We don't want women having back-alley abortions, right?

Did you know that prior to 1973, states had their own abortion laws?

States like NY and WA, of course, had no restrictions on abortion (Yellow).

States in the South and surprisingly CA allowed abortions only in the cases of rape, incest, or when the Mother's life was in danger (Green).

Most of the Upper Midwest, the Northeast, and TX BANNED abortion (Red)

So what would happen if Roe vs Wade were overturned? Would women's so-called "reproductive rights" be harmed by the evil Trump administration?

Of course not.

Want an abortion? Contact your state legislator or state Senator then and have them change the laws in your state. Or travel to a state that has it legalized.

Why is this so hard for people to understand? What works in NY doesn't work in TX. Why can't progressives just live and let live with the wonders of Federalism?

Republican and Trump administration lurkers: Start making the case for Federalism for abortion. Push back on the "Right to choose" narrative by pointing out that states have no say in passing abortion restrictions for their state. Just the other day, IA's abortion laws were knocked down by yet another progressive activist black robed tyrant. It's OK to pass anti-2nd Amendment laws, but not laws against abortion. This is flat-out wrong and reeks of hypocrisy.

All of the venomous political discourse and division, and the Red vs Blue state construct we are having today can be traced back to Roe vs Wade. All of the hyper-partisanship in Congress whenever there's a SCOTUS vacancy has to do with Roe vs Wade, and to a lesser extent, the Borking of Judge Bork.

OVERTURN ROE VS WADE. STRIP ANY WAYWARD REPUBLICANS OF THEIR COMMITTEE CHAIRS OR LEADERSHIP IF THEY START CAVING TO THE LEFTIST MOB. RETURN OUR GOVERNMENT BACK TO ITS CONSTITUTIONAL FOUNDATIONS AND RETURN POWER TO THE STATES.

Okay. What was the correct road?

Articles of Confederation. I am not proposing this, or thinking any such thing is possible, just a missed opportunity.

I began to search this out in exasperation with the ineluctable lurch of our Republic on the trajectory that it is on. I believe that all government is ultimately corrupting, and that the only possible manner in which we might hold onto liberty and the natural law, is through competition, ie being able to choose among competing governments. Of course one can expatriate, but I began to wonder if we could at one time have held onto states rights as they were prior to 1789.

Turns out the Articles of Confederation were to be adapted to the realities of our role as a world power, but not to be cast aside and replaced by an all-powerful federal government.

Starting with Lincoln, the Federal Government has disregarded the Tenth Amendment to the point that most aren't even aware of it's content - certainly NOT the dems who have a reading level and intellect below first grade level.

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people."
