You’d rather each state bow to a tyrant who murders babies and innocent handicapped women?

The Constitution authorizes the Federal government to guarantee a republican form of government in the states, and that is the only authority it has over their internal decisions. This includes the state's sovereign rights to regulate murder within the state. Whatever you can say about Florida's government, it is a republican form of government.

The point is I’d rather not bow to a tyrant just because he gives me what I want. That is a trait best reserved for leftists.

I may not always agree with what the citizens of a state may decide in these matters, nonetheless I can respect their decision and urge them to change their minds.
