Within the special maritime and territorial jurisdiction of the United States,

Read that again and realize that the jurisdiction here is only in special maritime and territorial possessions of the federal government, not the states.   The States are the United States.

The territorial jurisdiction of the United States are:

American Samoa.
Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands.
Federated States of Micronesia.
Republic of Palau.
Guam.
Republic of the Marshall Islands.
Puerto Rico.
United States Virgin Islands.
Minor Outlying Islands. Bajo Nuevo Bank. Baker Island. Howland Island. Jarvis Island. Johnston Atoll. Kingman Reef. Midway Islands. Navassa Island. Palmyra Atoll.

The States legislate their own laws against abortion, the Federal government has to stay out of it as stated in the Ninth and Tenth Amendments:

Thus the Ninth Amendment makes it clear that the rights enumerated in our founding documents are not the only rights we have, while the Tenth Amendment makes it equally clear that the powers delegated to the federal government are its only powers.

Being a state issue or a national issue for everyone depends on what abortion is.

"Deceptively getting votes, then ruin it for republicans that follow for decades."

Well, in fact, both Repubs and Communists have been "deceptively getting votes" since the 1960s (Communists) and the 1970s (Repubs)...

When was the last time a GOP president or Senate & House Critters kept their pre-election word????

We lost most of our freedoms & liberties under GOP presidents (Nixon & Bush W)...

Leave it alone. It does not require further FEDGOV interference.

Agree it’s how the damned mess got started in the first place.

The RATs are purposely bringing up abortion to split our side.

Trump should ignore calls for “bans” because the issue has been sent to the states by SCOTUS.

Trump has done what he can.

Can a state deny the right to vote or education to blacks?

Constitutionally a state cannot have laws that segregate blacks. Other than that, state laws are up to the people of that state. States are considered "local governance" so your voice is much more effective at the state level than at the national level.

Nothing is perfect, but decentralized and local governance is the best way to ensure enduring freedom from government coercion.

If you and yours have tried and still have problems with your state, you can always move to another state that is more to your liking.
