so you have no problem with allowing abortion in states that don’t do anything about it?

What part of the concept of federalism are you having trouble comprehending? If I live in a state whose laws I don’t like (and I do), I try to change them. If I can’t and I find the situation intolerable, I can move to another state. But in most cases, and this is one of them, I’d rather the feds pick their noses than pick my state’s laws. It’s why I like Fred.

That's not what is being said here. The message is that each state should be able to decide whether abortion is legal or not through the legislative process. Once the legislative process at the state level is open, then the discussions of what is right and wrong can be had - and those discussions overwhelmingly favor pro-life.

If a given state goes the other way, then it is ripe for prayers, educational pushes, further discussion, etc. One does not abandon the war at the first sign of trouble in the first battle.
