The Idea Of Leaving Abortion Rights "Up to the States". . .

[OldBaldy1701E]

4. All of this is true... but...

What do you suppose the situation will be if they do this and it turns out most of the states in fact do want to have abortion rights in their state charter. That, in fact, even some of the red states decide that they prefer to have them protected. Then what is the central rethug think tank going to do?

Similarly, building codes and fireworks availability can vary from state-to-state because of differences in not only climate and terrain but also ease of access to public services like fire departments and the like.

Actually, it is that the builders cannot be trusted to do things properly due to greed being an acceptable practice here. Also it is that most people are idiots and cannot be trusted to take the necessary precautions. I understand what you are saying, but the reasons behind their consideration of the climate and the services is that people will get drunk and start setting off those things without even getting a cup of water to keep handy.

Lastly, it was and is a more free country than some but it was never 'free'... maybe out west during the mid to late 1800s. Just because the repression was originally coming from religion rather than government does not change that.
