What I was tying to point out was that murder is unconstitutional whether government is involved or not. Abortion is murder because no due process has taken place for the unborn.

Then why are murder cases tried in state courts? If it's a federal constitutional crime, then the states have no jurisdiction and every single person on death row that was put there by a state court can walk out the door tomorrow.

Please stop trying to stretch the clear language of the constitution which limits federal powers and state powers into something it's not. There's no right to have an abortion guaranteed in the constitution, just as there's no forbidding of it. The constitution is silent on the matter, so it is an issue reserved to the states, or the people, as the 10th very clearly states.
