Abortion and the Constitution

With a growing number of States FINALLY asserting their constitutional authority to regulate abortion, may we reasonably hope that the moribund founding principle of "dual federal-State sovereignty", a foundational principle wisely laid down by our Founders, is being resuscitated? For only then can our constitutional republic be restored to its former luster.
Though the slaughtering of innocents is odious and morally depraved, we need only to rely on the Constitution itself to win the argument. Of course, that relies upon folks' reading and understanding the Constitution. It also requires us and our respective States to render unacceptable and of no force any federal violations of State laws in that regard.
Would all States reject such murder? No. But, many would, and that's the sheer beauty of the 10th Amendment. One size doesn't fit all, and the founders well understood that. Thus, we needn't submit ourselves to exhaustingly emotional and infuriatingly illogical arguments over the issue. We simply leave the matter of abortion regulation with the individual States where it constitutionally belongs. Don't like your State's abortion laws, then re-locate to a State whose views mirror your own. Perfect and sensible founding solution.
