"Do you think the legality of abortion should be decided by the Supreme Court of by the elected legislatures of the 50 states?" By the Supreme Court if the 50 states can't figure it out. That's why the Supreme Court is there. It's part of the checks and balances upon which this country is built. Sometimes the 50 states have to be made free of their own tyranny. Here are 2 examples. "Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973)[1], is a landmark United States Supreme Court decision establishing that most laws against abortion violate a constitutional right to privacy under the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, thus overturning all state and federal laws outlawing or restricting abortion that were inconsistent with the decision. It is one of the most controversial cases in U.S. Supreme Court history. Its lesser-known companion case was decided at the same time: Doe v. Bolton, 410 U.S. 179 (1973)[2]." en.wikipedia.org "Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954),[1] is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court which explicitly outlawed racial segregation of public education facilities (legal establishment of separate government-run schools for blacks and whites), ruling so on the grounds that the doctrine of "separate but equal" public education could never truly provide black Americans with facilities of the same standards available to white Americans. A companion case dealt with the constitutionality of segregation in the District of Columbia, (not a state and therefore not subject to the Fourteenth Amendment), Bolling v. Sharpe, 347 U.S. 497 (1954)." en.wikipedia.org
