"Progressive" politicians condescendingly brand pro-lifers as "single-issue voters" and abortion as a "single-issue."

Take this tack for a moment. Roe v. Wade is not about abortion. State law about abortion is the issue.
My concern about the Roe v. Wade decision is not about the pros can cons of abortion. My concern is why the Supreme Court would rule on an issue that the Congress is not empowered to legislate.
Yes, the slippery slope that the pro-life prophets predicted.

It’s called the “incorporation doctrine”. It basically amounts to using the 14th amendment to bludgeon the 10th amendment to death.
