I agree with you there. I think Roe v. Wade should be overturned and the states should decide their own abortion policies.

There are some conservatives who would not be willing to trade any of their personal sovereignty to permit government at any level to ban abortions.

And then there are some conservatives who are only willing to trade personal sovereignty on the abortion issue to allow a local government (usually a state) to ban abortions.

And then there are some conservatives who believe that the issue of life is so important that the federal government should ban abortions so as to ensure that they are banned nationwide.

I wonder if there are conservatives who feel so strongly about the issue of life and abortion that they would be willing to trade a little national sovereignty in exchange for worldwide ban on abortion.

I call that the "drug warrior mentality".
