If abortion should be in the courts and legislatures, it’s at the state level. A constitutionalist candidate would point out the federal government has no standing in the matter and the so-called privacy guarantee doesn’t exist at the federal level. But it’s also the wrong issue to demonstrate limits within the constitution. TAXES and other wealth appropriations would be more appropriate targets in my opinion, with the burden falling again on the states to levy them. As far as I’m concerned you could have a state where abortion is available at any term and where income taxes are 100%. You could choose to live there, or not. But on the federal side? Hell no.

Agreed, this should be decided by the states, and not with made up SCOTUS decisions!
