By the way, abortion is far worse than slavery. So far, there are about 50 million DEAD since Roe.

Once again, I have no idea why you keep bringing up slavery in this argument, it has absolutely nothing to do with it. I’m not saying abortion isn’t a moral wrong, but the fact is, like most moral wrongs, it is up to each individual state to make a choice, because doing otherwise causes problems.

To be quite blunt, there are states in this country where people in large margins 70-80% support abortion on demand. If you suddenly say, we’re sorry, but the public opinion of the people in your state doesn’t matter, Washington has made it’s decision. See where the problem is. It’s exactly the same as it is now, where 70-80% of the people in my state oppose abortion on demand, and yet we can’t outlaw it because of Washington.

The whole Warren Court idea that it was the job of the federal judiciary to come in and tell states what they can and cannot do is the reason this country is as screwed up as it is today.
