Roe v. Wade was plainly unconstitutional and widely acknowledged to be the worst ever opinion of the SCOTUS. Last I checked, the Constitution said nothing about abortion.

Last I checked, the Constitution said everything about Congress regulating commerce.

If the term "interstate commerce" is construed broadly enough to include infanticide, then what one is really saying is that there is no limit whatsoever to the definition of "interstate commerce" and therefore to the power of the federal government.

I think "interstate commerce" means exactly that - interstate commerce, not activity that takes place entirely within the confines of a single state.

If one can rationalize murder to be "interstate commerce", what is there that couldn't be defined as commerce? It would be no less incoherent to say that eating and breathing are interstate commerce and that the government should have the power to tell the states exactly how people may eat and breathe.
