In American history, the topic of personal liberties and privacy is a national, constitutional topic. This is especially important given the history of some states abusing humans via slavery and enforcing it via the federalism argument.
Just because we have a federal structure it doesn't mean that rogue states should have the leeway to abuse human freedoms.
