I don't support Roe. You do support prohibiting states from allowing abortions. Please cite the part of the Constitution where it says that states don't have the right to allow abortion.

Too easy. Check out the 14th Amendment, section I:

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Now, after reading that, do you continue to support the existence legalized abortion in any state? If so, show me the science that says a fetus is not a human life, or where in the Constitution a state is allowed to deprive some people of life without due process, but not others.

While you're at it, perhaps you could cite the part of the Constitution that says a state can't legalize killing people who have used screen names beginning with the letter "L."

It's not a matter of personal opinion, but I don't see anything in the part you cited, that would prevent states from making abortion legal. It's disconcerting that you would support judicial activism when it suits you.

If so, show me the science that says a fetus is not a human life,

That's up to the states to determine.
