I don't think so, those are issues that we have already decided. There are certain fundamental rights that are not to be violated. But that doesn't mean that you have to litter the consitution with just about every issue.

You said, "we allow matters to be decided by individual states".
Now why can't any state(s) then abrogate any existing laws regarding the press, religion, firearms?
I'm just trying to stay abreast of your logic regarding abortion being solely a 'state right'.

Now, if federal/Constitutional laws/rights concerning the former, (press, religion, firearms), had to at some point be made to "exist", why couldn't the same occur for outlawing abortion? In which case a pro-life POTUS would make this more achievable, right?
