Does that mean that states' rights trump unalienable rights?

It means this: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved for the States respectively, or to the people

In other words, since the Constitution is silent on the fedgov's powers regarding abortion, it is a state issue.

So, you believe that the unborn are not persons, and are therefore not protected by the Fourteenth Amendment, as our Reagan pro-life GOP platform asserts.
