It's important to note that most Americans don't agree on letting the states enforce this because abortion is a particularly sore issue for everyone. Pro life people believe abortion is literally murder, and therefore, no state should allow it. Pro choice people believe that banning abortion is oppression, and therefore, no state should be allowed to ban it.

That kind of suggests that the states are the right place to handle the issue.

As I wrote elsewhere, states rights has long been the motte of all kinds of minority social opinions in the Bailey. The broad consensus is being held hostage by a minority in some state legislatures, and in the senate, and has now trickled into a 6-3 Supreme Court with lifetime appointments of comparatively young justices.

As I understand it, the "correct" position that is held by the majority of Americans is that we should have safe, widely-available abortions up to about 12-16 weeks. That's how it is in Europe. Right now, we have two parties full of nutjobs: one party wants state-subsidized free abortions available up to point of birth, and the other party wants to completely ban them. The reasonable group has left the building.
