Tenth Amendment: 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.

You fail to see something obvious, and fundamental.

The right to life is unalienable.

No governmental department, at any level, in any branch, has legitimate power to alienate the right to life. All they have is the sworn duty to protect it, as the Constitution imperatively requires of every officer of government, at every level, in every branch.

The Tenth Amendment argument which tries to defend the pro-choice for states is stupid. You're trying to make the amendment say something which it does not say.

If the first duty of government, of every officer of government, is to protect the God-given, unalienable right to life, it would be foolish to claim that they do not have jurisdiction to keep their own oath. That's silly.
