This is true about state law. And states should be the preeminent lawmaking entities. Look what's happened since it's gone the other way.

If the judges in Roe v Wade had done this, it would have been a less tortured way to their end; however, the judges could just as easily have said that under the Constitution abortion, if it could ever be considered a right, must be, since it was not one of the enumerated rights in the Bill of Rights, among those rights reserved to the states and to the people and, therefore, was one properly left to the regulation of the individual states. That would have been the most constitutional way of dealing with it--if they had really been interested in the Constitution.

Thanks. You just made my point for me.

This crime should be left to the states and the people. It is not a violation of the US Constitution.

I’m curious what unalienable right you think this law violates.
