Roe v. Wade is a States Rights issue.

If so, then any state should be able to decriminalize owning an African if they feel like it.

In Roe, the unborn were not considered "persons" and therefore not protected by the due process clause of the 14th amendment.

“Roe v. Wade is a States Rights issue.

Besides being Godless and immoral, slavery is specifically covered in the Bill of Rights,

“All Men are Created Equal”.

The Constitution does not address abortion in any fashion, therefor the Federal Government has no authority per (I believe) the 10th Amendment which states that a power not specifically vested by the US Constitution to the Federal Government shall be construed as a power or authority by the Federal Government.

It is a States Rights issue.
