I don't have a problem with your foreign policy.

On abortion, I see the fetus as a full person, and any willful act of ending that life should be considered murder. I would like abortion to be illegal in every state, but at the very least I would want Roe v Wade overturned and allow some states to assert local control.

I can easily agree that each state should make it’s own decisions on the issue. That way the people by majority could make that decision based upon their location.
Moral’s can vary from area to area and should be considered as locally as possible. Perhaps not even state by state but county by county

Also, I should have provided a caveat; after a certain amount of time has passed, abortion should not be allowed except to save the mothers life. Perhaps after 6 - 9 weeks.

I believe that is when a fetus starts actually having some sense of it’s surroundings. But this is a philosophical, medical and spiritual mixed bag that I really prefer not to go into.

I’d prefer abortion to be a local issue, made at the county level, just like alcohol. Some counties are ‘wet’, others ‘dry’.

We should have abortion decided at that level, too.
