Allow individual states to decide on abortion restrictions
Background
The question of whether abortion laws in the United States should be determined at the state or federal level is deeply intertwined with constitutional interpretations, principles of federalism, and differing societal values. State-level decision-making allows laws to reflect the values and beliefs of local populations, which can vary significantly across the country. On the other hand, federal laws reduce the risk of undermining national standards for women's health care and reproductive rights across states.
