While the libertarians are wrong about many things, they get this one right.

Clearly opinions vary.
BTW, this is another delivered Trump promise.
And the real win here is that the decision is left to the individual states. And if someone lives in a state that has laws that go completely against their values, they can always leave and go to another one. It's why I left Seattle and moved to Kentucky. My vote never counted in Seattle, and now it still nevr counts, but for the opposite reason. I live around like minded people. It makes life happier and much less stressful. And the 9th is really about constraining the FEDERAL government from taking away rights, which is exactly what this decision honored. It didn't make abortion legal or illegal. It put it in the hands of the states, where it belongs.
