And yet I would not be honest with you, or myself if I said I approved of the ALL-POWERFUL STATE forcing a rape victim to give birth to a child she did not consent to creating.

Last time I checked, even the most extreme libertarians considered protecting innocents from murder to be a legitimate exercise of state power.

States have murder laws that can apply to abortion. They could be enforced.
If you are aware of such a murder, demand that your state prosecutor indict, then hold murder trials of women who have had abortions.

I doubt the feds could find a way to stop a State from holding trials. - And I also doubt that they could ever actually jail any women.
