He's correct because if Roe vs. Wade was voided legality would return to being determined by the states.

Besides, abortion already *IS* a state's rights issue. Abortion is regulated differently in Indiana than in California.

Well, unless the obvious fact that the fetus is a person were acknowledged.

If the fetus is a person, they are protected explicitly and imperatively by our Constitution. On every square inch of American territory.

"No person shall be deprived of life without due process of law."

"No State shall deprive any person of life without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."

Oh, by the way, “overturning Roe” is not the be all and end all of anything. Who cares about a forty year-old unconstitutional opinion by one court in particular case?

Every officer of government, at every level, in every branch, as required by Article VI, has sworn to support the Constitution, not the Blackmun court.

Let me remind you that the Dred Scott decision has never been overturned.

Do you think states can allow slavery?
