not for late term, I think that part of it can be legally federalized. a 7 month child in utero, is viable outside the mother, and is therefore a person.

yes, I know this means we make a distinction between an 6 week embryo and a 6 month fetus - but intelligent choices are part of law making.

That distinction, though, was part of the RvW decision (I think; I could be wrong). Were RvW overturned, it would thus be nullified.

Legally, it could be possible to do so. That would be up for debate. Realistically, it would not happen. Many conservatives do advocate for the overturn on RvW on the very grounds I mentioned--non-federal/state's rights. it would be hypocritical to then turn around and try and federalize another part of it.

IMHO, it's a state's issue, period.
