Here’s the issue: they say things like it’s returning the right to the state, which is a lie but it sounds correct. That right never belonged to any state. It was a right held by the people, then states tried to remove it so the Supreme Court gave it (very limited) protections from encroachment.
It’s always been a right that belonged to the people and any other rhetoric is trying to mislead. I’ve never heard a Democrat make this argument though, so they lost the election. They allowed Republicans to control the narrative while they squabled about how they want limits on abortion actually.
It’s the same argument as slavery. The federal government needs to protect the rights of people because states are trying to restrict them, and it is not their right to do so.
