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?

Cause your national abortion ban has 0 chance of passing and would utterly destroy the GOP. And I believe abortion is an issue for the states. You may disagree with me.

You can try. But it'll not pass. And I disagree with federalizing issues.

It's as achievable with President Duncan Hunter as it is with President Hillary.
