What about the full faith and credit clause?

results differ by state, but most have laws, either statutory or court-made, that state that the state does not have to give full faith and credit to the laws of another state that violate the public policy of that state.

But the point is, it's something that can be adjudicated. And that means that all 50 state could end up with something only a handful want thanks to the full faith and credit clause. The state's rights thing, to my mind anyway, is a cop out. It oughta be legal in all fifty, or none of 'em.
