No. Not a state issue. This is what republicans want in the short term until they get their constitutional amendment.

The constitution is built to protect the rights of the minority (in this case pregnant women) from the majority or the powerful. The rights of reproductive health care transcend state matters, as does the first clause of the first amendment:

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion.

Of course people are free to practice their religion within the law, they can choose not to have an abortion. No one should take a life after birth, its murder under the law. Abortion should never be taken lightly and I cant imagine that it ever is, but no state can let Christian religious fanatics control women and their rights in the name of Jesus or scriptures that came from men.

The constitution, and the legal process is not from Jesus or Kings -- it is from governments of the people.

Isn't that what free choice is all about?

The "tyranny of the majority" is not a free choice. Free choice is about free choice. There should be limits on what 51% of the people can force on the minority of people.
