Abortion and homosexuality are not federal issues.
Then why did the SCOTUS take away tye states' right to legislate on these issues?
Brilliant question.
The way I read the abortion decisions and the homosexuality decisions by the SCOTUS, they're saying that neither the federal government NOR the states can outlaw consensual homosexual activity or first trimester abortions.
In other words, they're saying that the people did not delegate these issues to the feds nor the states, and neither have the power to outlaw them.
Non-regulating is the exact opposite of regulating.
