I would hope that they overturn Roe v. Wade, and decide that abortion should be left to the various states.  What is so wrong, with letting the people of state A, who believe abortion is murder, ban abortion, while letting the people of state B, who believe in a woman's right to choose, legalize abortion?  What is being done in the name of civil rights and equality, is in reality being done in the name of tyranny.

I believe the federalist approach is the best way to preserve abortion rights (or, alternatively, the rights of fetuses).  Otherwise, the rights of women (and fetuses) across the country is subject to a simple majority in one legislative body, the United States Congress.  Or, the Supreme Court.

If anybody could direct me to the part of the Constitution that says Congress has the power to ban or legalize abortion, that would be lovely.  Oh, nevermind, it's probably covered by the Commerce Clause for some reason.

Probably the same clause they use to criminalize other murders, in all likelihood. Then again, you're looking at an issue that activist judges ruled on instead of going through the proper legislative process.

Where is the federal government given the express power of making laws against murder of any kind?

I hope you were being sarcastic...

Jeebus, I can't believe I voted the way I did.
