Should they get a pertinent case, the SCOTUS should maintain protection for all independently viable fetuses older than 20 weeks everywhere in the USA, and return regulation for abortions of fetuses under 20 weeks to the states.
If liberals like Obama think MARRIAGE is a state's issue then abortion certainly should be - up to a point of viability - that's when the federal government must intercede on the side of life.
