When I was a kid (about 10) a friend told me that murder was not a federal offense. I couldn’t believe it. Turns out he was right.
Murder is an offense that takes place within a state. Every state has it covered of course no need for the feds to be involved.
I am absolutely against abortion. Absolutely in all cases. However, not the business of the federal government. The idea that a few folks rule over the rest of us-all 300+milllion-is what got us into this mess.

Yeah, but suppose a state or more de-criminalized murder, made murder legal. Do you think the fed gov should intervene or just say "States' rights, s'okay"?

Making abortion a States' rights issue is exactly the same.
