After all, a challenge to Roe-v-Wade starts at the locval level and works it's way up to the federal level. I think the rights of the unborn is something the SCOTUS should weigh in on.

I disagree on that- the SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over this issue.

"the SCOTUS has no jurisdiction over this issue"

That's a moot point, The SCOTUS is who made Roe-v-Wade the law of the land. But that's a deabte for another time :-)

I believe the unborn child is protected by the Bill of Rights and that by itself makes this a Federal issue
