I'd return it to being a state issue.

Dang!, you finally got something right!

Yes, my state of MS has already passed a law that would make abortion illegal if Roe vs Wade is overturned.

But since we are discussing this I should tell you that I voted against the law. I believe abortions should be performed on demand. But even more, I think the issue belongs to the state.
I am a Bright Red Republican who believes in limited national government.

Going a bit further, Mississippi is an island with regards to abortion. 2012. In MS there were 2176 abortions. But in Alabama there were 9,076; Louisiana, 9,225; Tennessee, 18,859. So you can see, just about everyone will have a place to go if they need to.

Do the ends justify the means?

I am pro-choice but I have problems with Roe v. Wade.

Abortion should only be used under serious physical abnormalities to the child, incest, or rape.

Yes, It was not decided on a constitutionally sound basis and it should be left to the states to regulate abortion.

There is nothing in the constitution that states that morality plays no role in legislation either. Nothing in the constitution forbids States from legislating based on morality.
