Do you believe that an individual state should be allowed to pass a law legalizing murder?

For the record, I do not. There are some crimes that deserve and even require a federal interest.

Yet this is EXACTLY what many libertarians thinks the Constitution allows.

It was the federal government which legalized murder (the Supremes via Roe v Wade) Shouldn't the states have the right to bow out of a law which requires the murder of an innocent human being? Actually they do have that right per the Constitution.
