Sen. Kelly, SCOTUS ruled that abortion is an issue for states to decide. What part of the Constitution empowers Congress to ‘codify abortion rights’?
Nobody on Free Republic ever talks about the federal law which bans partial birth abortion.
That law was upheld by the US Supreme Court.
I mention that because, legally speaking , we have a legal precedent that the Federal Government can indeed pass laws regulating abortion.
It is not just an issue where only states can pass state laws on the subject.
