The Supreme Court, in its recent decision, returned the authority to the States where it existed for about 200 years before Roe vs Wade.

No, Ar-15s are not mentioned in the Constitution, which was my point, you can't have it both ways. We have a right to privacy - oh, wait, that is not mentioned either.
Abortion law at the time of the signing was that it was none of the governments business until after quickening - in general. However, slave owners were 100% opposed to any abortion laws relating to slaves, since breeding with slaves was a popular recreation that led to more stock.
