I've never been the most knowledgeable on the legal side of things. Yet, there are two opinions about this that I find odd. The first one says this is good because it's returning power to the people. On paper they say it brings power down to the state from the federal level, but in practice this took power away from the individual and gave it to the state. Individual choice was lost and given to the state government, wasn't it? And it's a counterintuitive dynamic that only occurs when the Federal government champions a right. If on the other hand they were taking away a right, by banning abortions, only in that scenario will giving the choice to the State bring any power back to the people.
The second argument is the one that views this as a moral victory. If your views are that abortion is always wrong, everywhere, and for any reason, then isn't this still a loss for you if even one state deems it legal? I'm not sure what is morally gained by this. And if you're comfortable with individual states deciding for themselves, then how is that different from individual people deciding for themselves?
