Now see Pence reminds voters he supports 15-week abortion ban in campaign launch



Of course, in the above case Pence gives the finger to the Tenth Amendment and federalism, and supports specific legislation To amend title 18, United States Code, to protect pain-capable unborn children, and for other purposes which most certainly is not within the powers delegated to Congress by our Constitution. In fact Mike Pence wants to usurp those powers reserved to the States and people therein which Hamilton summarizes as follows:


“The powers delegated by the proposed Constitution to the federal government are few and defined. Those which are to remain in the State governments are numerous and indefinite. The former will be exercised principally on external objects, as war, peace, negotiation, and foreign commerce; with which last the power of taxation will, for the most part, be connected.

The powers reserved to the several States will extend to all the objects which, in the ordinary course of affairs, concern the lives, liberties, and properties of the people, and the internal order, improvement, and prosperity of the State."___ Federalist No. 45


Additionally, the Tenth Amendment declares:

The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States, respectively, or to the people.


.

Seems to me Mike Pence needs to explain where the power has been delegated to the federal government to adopt and enforce a federal 15-week abortion ban.

Why have a written constitution, approved by the people, if those who it is meant to control are free to make it mean whatever they wish it to mean?
