I am pro-life and pro-choice. Abortion should be legal, but NEVER occur.Total BS.
But you inadvertantly stumbled into one truth, murder isn't a federal matter.

"But you inadvertantly stumbled into one truth, murder isn't a federal matter."
Correct. But Roe v. Wade made it a Federal matter by overturning 38 state laws forbidding abortion. I would be happy to go back to pre-Roe v. Wade. That would reduce abortions. I would be happy to pass the amendment with the exceptions for rape, incest and the life of the mother. That would reduce abortions. But I would be happiest with all states outlawing the procedure and treating it as murder.
Murder of the child is not justified by rape or incest. If it were, you could kill the child after its birth just as well.
There is no medical case where the life of the mother requires an abortion. A C-section solves pre-eclamsia just fine. A tubal pregnancy kills the baby and the mom, so you might as well save the mom.
