Except that’s exactly how it was handled for nearly 200 years of our nation’s history before Roe v Wade.

And I think it would be the ideal way to handle many other issues - State by State.

Like I said, it would be difficult getting it done.

But I’m in favor of giving the States back their Constitutional powers that were taken from them and given to the Federal monster.

Ask any old Ob/Gyn and they will confirm that abortion was effectively legal pre-Roe v. Wade.

Women routinely had Menstrual Extractions or a D & C because of “residue” from an “incomplete period,” “idiopatahic abdominal pain” or other such “problems”.

Everyone know. Don’t ask. Don’t tell.
