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.

Are you saying it can be legal to murder blacks in Alabama but not New York? I thought American citizens had the same rights across all states.
