“there is no question that abortion is a matter left to the states,”
Again, the position that abortion is wrong because it kills a living person would reject this position altogether. If the unborn child is living then states do not have jurisdiction to kill them.
“We are so conditioned by the leftwing desire to federalize every issue”
Personhood is a federal issue. Do you contest this?
. If the unborn child is living then states do not have jurisdiction to kill them.

Actually the death penalty is a good example of some states having it and other states forgoing it. The states do decide they have jurisdiction to make that decsion
As our law now stands (butchered by the left), it is a federal matter. It wasn’t in the beginning. Find me where the Constitution grants the earthly, legal definition of personhood to the federal government. The real definition is of course beyond our political structures. I think you know that.
The Constitution, as written, leaves everything not enumerated as a federal power to the states. Do you contest this?
