I wonder if the same rationale will be used in abortion cases.

Hopefully soon. It does not matter whether it is right or wrong. It is a States' rights issue. We need to decrease the role of the federal government and return the power to the States as the Constitution intended it to be.

However, that's unlikely because the Federal Government will get larger and larger until states become rather insignificant.

Wrong.

Do you think the right to freely assemble is also a states' rights issue?

How about the right to petition the government?

What about the rest of the rights that are spelled out in the Constitution?

For you to claim that any of those rights are subject to the whims of the individual states would be ludicrous.

How much moreso the 'First Right'; the right to life...
