Does the concept of "State's Rights" mean that different States can define different rights for their citizens?

Can Massachusetts grant its citizens a "right to healthcare" that Utah doesn't?

If there is no right to privacy at the federal level, can there be such a right at the state level?

I'm too ignorant of legal theory to know the answer myself.

Of course they can! The left wants to turn every idea that comes from leftist states into national law. They can’t stand the idea that individual states can set policies on their own, especially what they consider “regressive policies.”

Yes that is correct. There is no such thing as a right to privacy, that was made up in the original Roe case out of whole cloth by the court to justify their wrong decision.

My understanding is that a state could pass a law to create a right to privacy.

10th Amendment, US Constitution: 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.
