Wasn't the whole point of Roe V Wade that it shouldn't have ever been a federal issue and that it should be up to the states all along?

Wouldn't deciding these things on a local level be more representative to the than a federal law?



RvW made it the most local level of decision making that is possible - the individual.


Sure, but in the context of society all laws exist to override personal decision making. Anything from speeding fines to marriage laws to corruption regulations. It's all about taking the autonomy away from the individual. RvW isn't unique in that regard.


So what's the point about making it more local then?
