Seeing as the right to life was actually mentioned in our founding documents, I think that’s more than enough prerogative to consider abortion a federal issue. You would always have the issue of people crossing state lines to do it, which would make any particular state law ineffectual. If it took a constitutional amendment, that’s fine.

And in the case of marriage, it’s just stopping the government from being involved. If two same-sex people, or three, or four, want to claim they’ve been married, that’s up to them, but there shouldn’t be any government recognition of it. And marriage/divorce/custody is far too legally complicated an issue to have different rules set up in different states.

We have fallen so far away from the Constitution. Our Founding Fathers would weep.

"Posterity! you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it. "

~John Adams

I agree. (Though it will need to take an amendment for abortion.)
