You’re forgetting, Hunter is not president yet.

He introduces this bill year after year as a congressman.

It is the personhood-at-conception bill that has over 100 co-sponsors, which would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.

Also, I’m not impressed with states’ rights when it comes to abortion. My own NYS had legal abortion BEFORE Roe.

Abortion is unconstitutional if any state:

Amendment V

“..nor be
deprived of LIFE (emphasis mine), liberty, ..”

No, see my previous comment on murder. Murder is NOT within the fed’s jurisdiction. It’s solely up to the state to define what constitutes murder and what punishment is appropriate. That’s why you have 50 states with (sometimes) wildly differing laws concerning the taking of human life.
