However, the tendency of contemporary state legislatures is to not outlaw abortion outright, but to put in place restrictions on it. This is, in my opinion, consistent with consitutional ideals. If the people want to put a 24 hour waiting period so people have time to think about it, then they should be able to do so. If they want parental notification, partial birth abortion ban, etc., then I see no reason why the states should not be able to do that.
