Which part of the Constitution gives the Federal Government the right to pass abortion legislation ?

I'm curious about that myself.

I’m sure it is tucked somewhere underneath the Commerce Clause legislation. The Congress critters love that area to pass their laws over us. If this was the clause though, it’s the first time I can remember in decades where it came in handy for a good cause.

The 14th Amendment gives them the authority.
