You are simply rephrasing your idea that the state can force 'obligations' upon a woman for becoming pregnant.
Not so. -- She has the liberty to abort. -- It is constitutional.
Your insistance that she can be sequestered and forced to term, -- is not.

I was making an ethical rather than a constitutional statement---but are you claiming that the Constitution bars states from restricting or banning abortion? If so, provide evidence for your claim.

We've been arguing about that ~fact~ [the Constitution does indeed bar states from restricting or banning early term abortion] for years now.
No more proof is needed as to the USSC's position.
You dont agree with the USSC on the issue.
Post your constitutional proofs that a pregnant woman can be sequestered and forced to term by the state.

The USSC's position is not identical to the Constitution.

Nothing in the Constitution prohibits the states from doing so or authorizes the federal government to prevent the states from doing so.
