What part of the concept of federalism are you having trouble comprehending? If I live in a state whose laws I don’t like (and I do), I try to change them. If I can’t and I find the situation intolerable, I can move to another state. But in most cases, and this is one of them, I’d rather the feds pick their noses than pick my state’s laws. It’s why I like Fred.

There are plenty of laws that should be left to the states. But there are moral issues that are more important than federalism. The sanctity of an unborn human being’s life is one of them. Would you leave slavery up to each state to decide?

"What part of the concept of federalism are you having trouble comprehending?"

the part where were allowing states to step on immutable, defined, constitutional rights which are *specifically* documented to prevent the abrogation of said rights to the states.
