Wrong. I advocate the protection of the rights of all by all.

So you want the federal government writing all criminal laws.

You are a statist just like the Justices who wrote Roe. Defining what is and what is not murder is NOT an enumerated power and therefor not within the power of the federal government.

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Again, conflating powers and rights. Sad. This is one of the most damaging fallacies wreaking havoc in our country today.

It's you who is agreeing with them, not me. Like Blackmun, you don't believe that the child in the womb is protected by the Constitution of the United States.
