It's simple, really. There is no right to abortion in the United States Constitution.
In the midst of the current raging battle over Roe v. Wade. pro-abortion activists have misconstrued the 1973 Roe decision as a woman’s unquestionable right to have an abortion.
But again, nowhere in the Constitution is a woman’s right to an abortion stated or guaranteed, although in Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court drew the flimsy conclusion that "a right to privacy" buried in the 14th Amendment somehow guaranteed an American woman the right to have an abortion.
With no clear right to an abortion spelled out in the Constitution, that leaves us with two choices. We must add an amendment to the Constitution that guarantees the right to abortion, or we must send the issue back to the states, where all matters not specifically addressed in the Constitution belong.
And despite the protests, rhetoric and political posturing, that's it in a nutshell.
