Abortion is no longer protected by the federal government, states now have the power to regulate it. While abortion is the latest to come under state power, the issue joins a long list.
“States have what's called police powers. Health, safety, welfare, and morals. Does that cover sex, drugs, rock, and roll? All the things” said Steve Friedland of Elon Law.
While states have a lot of power, states can't violate the constitution. For example, it can't pass laws that contradict the Bill of Rights and the protections for search and seizure, the right to exercise your religion, and so on.
Here's something else a state can't do, it can't act randomly.
Let's say state lawmakers don't want the backlash of all-out prohibiting abortion, so instead, they pass arbitrary laws that make it near impossible.
