"Nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government should decide such matters just as nowhere in the Constitution does it say that the Federal Government should decide issues of abortion."

The issue of abortion IS a constitutional matter -- that is murder.

Prosecution for murder has always traditionally been dealt with under State law.

If you kill the first person you randomly meet on the street today, you will be tried in a State court under State law unless he happens to be a Federal employee on Federal duty at the time.

It is such stretching of the Constitution that made abortion a "constitutional issue", took it out of state hands and made abortion a "constitutional right" when, in fact, the Constitution is silent on the matter of abortion.

"Prosecution for murder has always traditionally been dealt with under State law."

True -- but nonetheless, murder isn't "constitutionally" protected.

"If you kill the first person you randomly meet on the street today, you will be tried in a State court under State law unless he happens to be a Federal employee on Federal duty at the time.

It is such stretching of the Constitution that made abortion a "constitutional issue", took it out of state hands and made abortion a "constitutional right" when, in fact, the Constitution is silent on the matter of abortion."

While I concur that the constitution was "stretched" or subverted in order to circumvent State Law, I again revert back to the definition of "abortion," which is indeed legalized murder.
