Abortion is for the most part an elective medical procedure.
Just like removing a non-cancerous mole, liposuction, circumcision.
I'm not sure if States should not have the authority to regulate such procedures, including abortion, except to protect the life or physical health of the mother.
If bringing a child to term will likely kill the mother or cause serious physical harm, abortion must be allowed. Or if the child was conceived as the result of a rape or forced incest.
I understand the Right to Privacy argument (which Roe v Wade is totally based on) but I don't think it can be reasonably applied to elective medical procedures. Non-elective procedures? Certainly.
Just as I think States should have the authority to regulate and even ban tanning salons, certain extreme piercings, etc.
Just as I believe states should have the authority to ban self-harm and ban the possession of cocaine, crack, heroine and meth for personal use.
