Anyways, both morally and politically, I hope this passes. Abortion is a form of murder and should only be protected federally for very specific situations.
Murder is the unlawful killing of another human being. If abortion is legal, it is explicitly not murder.
The state has no moral power to legalize abortion, just as it has no moral power to legalize any sort of human rights violations.
That's not how Western legal culture works.
We executed people for the Holocaust, which was also “legal.”
I’m serious: we obviously do recognize the state does not have the final authority to decide what is or is not legal: there exist higher laws.
The Holocaust was actually not legal even under German law at the time, was devised in secret and not legislated through any rational governmental process. The Holocaust and other actions like the T4 Euthanasia programme were cases of the state apparatus simply ignoring their own nations laws
