The right to life is a civil rights matter, therefore, it is a federal matter. A person does not have less worth from state to state. A black man in California has the same civil rights as a white man in Texas. It's not OK to kill either one.

No just government can ever force you in sound mind to exercise a right. Perhaps you are also in favor of penalizing those that can, but don't vote?

The right to life is a civil rights matter, therefore, it is a federal matter.If the right to life is a civil rights matter and therefore a federal matter because it is described in the Declaration of Independence, would it not follow that the right to the pursuit of happiness is also a civil rights matter and therefore a federal matter because it is also described in the Declaration of Independence? See if you can imagine there to be any limitations on the powers of a Government that is authorized to see to it that its subjects are not deprived of the right to the pursuit of happiness.
