Just to clarify: By “federal matter”, I did not mean the Supreme Court to come down and legislate from the bench in favor of abortion.

The Guarantee Clause affirms the federal government’s obligation to “guarantee to the states a republican form of government”, and any state that votes to legalize abortion has abandoned that form of government. Not to mention, the powers reserved to the people have to be considered with respect to the powers reserved to the states.
