It is important to note that RIGHTS differ from POWER; I as an individual whom has a libertarian philosophy say "limit the federal government, not the people" and I know what that implies; A federal government of which its power is limited to adherence of the US Constitution, Article 1 Section 8; Dr. King fought for a uniformity of African-American Civil Rights through out the united states, so he is a perfect example of the power individuals have when it comes to RIGHTS: Now we get in more gray areas like abortion maybe it can become a right to abort through out the united states, or maybe not, but that is not to say that states cannot deal with the issue; it gets messy when government starts to PAY for such programs through the POWER it has from taxing people that it becomes messy; if that is the case states have the right to both make it a RIGHT and to use its POWER to pay for such programs; now for the federal government, whether it goes through the legislative branch, or not, it becomes UNCONSTITUTIONAL if and only when the POWER to TAX is used to pay for such programs (back to Article 1 Section 8), but if it simply becomes a RIGHT to abort without imposing state sponsored programs (which would be abuse at this point) then it is not unconstitutional. Long live the constitution!
