The Unalienable Right to life is mentioned in the Declaration of Independence and the 5th and 14th amendments of the US Constitution. The federal government should ban abortion.

Large populated states like CA, FL, NJ, NY and MI most likely will not outlaw abortion.

No. Find for me expressly in the Delcaration, the 5th, and 14th one mention of the yet born. Find it in Roe v Wade for that matter. In short, find for me outside of state jurisprudence(where this issue should be decided) rights to the yet born. In other words, find for me in anything in federal jurisprudence that defines what life is. The states have all kinds of things to say about it, god love em. And be careful what you wish for. Do you really want the federal government defining what life is?

I agree that we should not rest until the right to life is recognized in a federal constitutional amendment, However, overturning Roe would be a step in the right direction-—too many idiots out there support abortion because “it’s a constitutional right” (sic).

As for your list of states, I think that Michigan and probably Florida would legislate to make abortion illegal (MI in particular is a very pro-life state, with many pro-life Democrats), although I agree that the liberal legislatures in NY, NJ and CA will keep legal abortion even after Roe is overturned.
