For the same reason that you let states write murder laws for themselves, because it's fundamentally a state issue. If it's ok for the Federal Govt to dictate abortion law then it can dictate every other form of murder law. Do you want Obama writing your castle doctrine law?

Nonsense. The Federal government has enumerated rights and powers which is what the 10th covers. The Feds do not have the constitutional authority to intervene in state matters.
The 14th already settled this matter, that this is not in the realm of the State, but the federal government. As it should. The right to life is the most fundamental of all our rights and the federal government has the obligation to protect this right to the fullest extent.
One cannot express any of the other constitutional rights, if one is simple declared to be an unperson. CA and NY may insist on abortion, just as states insisted on slavery. Both were wrong.
