It is unconstitutional for the any state to deprive one of life, without due process, meaning you are guilty of some crime. Is it OK for a state, city or individual to make their own law allowing infantacide? Or how about toddlercide? Didn’t think so.
Good points.
Should the issue of slavery be turned over to the states? Abortion is a lot like slavery in that it is apparent that only a constitutional amendment will end the barbaric procedure once and for all. Abortion isn’t an issue that should be left to the dictates of the states.
As much as I hate to point this out, your fantasy that the US Constitution prohibits murder is simply incorrect. There is an obvious distinction between the state itself executing people and the state allowing private actors, e.g. abortionists, to do so.
The sad fact is that many states allow infanticide, such as partial-birth abortion; or euthanasia in some circumstances.
