ABORTION: A MINIMAL STATEMENT

I would like to outline a couple of facts regarding abortion, then end with a comment and question.

First, abortion will always be regulated by the government in some form or another as it is a medical procedure, and the practice of medicine is regulated.

Secondly, given the high priority of States rights the founders envisioned, I believe the U.S. Supreme Court should not have ruled on abortion based on the powers given them.  I believe they overstepped their bounds, and should have known this.  Abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution, so by edict of the 10th amendment, the regulatory power for this lies with each individual State.  Here is the text:

"The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
