Abortion is clearly an issue that should be decided at the state level.

states have abrogated their rights on so many things anymore....the cries for 'states rights' pretty much rings hollow these days.
our constitution doesn't specifically mention much at all, does it? it's up to the justices to see if a right exists under what is currently named. that's how they ruled 'right to privacy', it's also how they've decided on cases involving separation of church and state issues, since that also isn't explicitly stated. nullification was attempted by south carolina about 180 years ago- no one's attempted it since, with good reason.
