Regardless of one's opinion on the matter, it just makes sense for it to be a matter left to the states, because fundamentally it's inescapably homicide, with the details to work out being whether it is justified, negligent, accidental, premeditated, or whatever, and at what point it becomes "homicide" versus "destruction of tissue". Those are all things that states work out the details of in their laws against homicide. Homicide is and should be illegal everywhere, but different states have standards that vary as to under what circumstances it may be 'justified'. It should be up to the states to do that regardless of the age of the victim, or whether the victim happens to be in the uterus of someone else or not.
The left mostly seems to think that homicide is 'justifiable' if it is getting rid of someone who is inconveniently created and alive as a result of voluntary and recreational sex. I can't see it that way myself, but if that's what they want to argue and put into legislation, they at least need to do it at the right level of government. Of course there are a lot of things that are legal but not morally right. If I lived in a state where it was legal to shoot somebody who insulted you, I still wouldn't do it.
It's hard not to come to the conclusion that many on the left pretty much see the whole world as a place where the ends justify the means and as long as they come out ahead, their candidate wins, they get the contract, or they can have sex without consequences, it's all okay...
