The issue of abortion should be left to each individual State.

I'm sorry, I could not disagree with you more. We fought a civil war over the issue of state's rights and the spread of slavery to new territories and the issue of "personhood" for blacks. A person is a person from the moment of conception and neither the state or federal government should have any right to deem them any less. They have distinctly different genetics from their mother and the apparent only issue that allows them to be deemed less than human is their location of residence. It seems to me that this is already addressed in the Preamble to the Constitution that says "We the People of the United States... secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity..." if this doesn't mean just the founders and their immediate children, then it means all future generations as yet unborn.

I just don't adhere to the thought that you can have some fundamental rights in some states and not others especially one as important as life.

It matters little what YOU believe in, the Constitution does not give the Federal government the right to regulate that.

Perhaps you are a tad confused, it was when the Federal government got involved that the right to kill the unborn was created.

Trust the Feds on this?

Look at what they've done to date.
