Our Constitution was ordained and established to secure the blessings of liberty for our children.  It says so in the Preamble.
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-

We as a nation need to reverse the moral decay in our country, otherwise we will continue to destroy ourselves. 

IF the SCOTUS overturns R v Wade, I will be very surprised. It would be a huge turning point in our society.  Young women and young men need to think twice and even three times about their actions and the ramifications of their actions.

I could go on, but I'll refrain and  just pray that our society reaches a turning point.         
                                                               
Yep, instead of just running out the door, take time to put on a raincoat...

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

So, Massachusetts could pass a law that bans gunpowder and explosives, including bullets and fireworks?

There's nothing in the 2nd Amendment that guarantees right to ammunition.

So, states can criminalize any medical procedure because there are no explicit Federal Constitutional protections for access to medical procedures?

State and Federal constitutions are agreements among citizens to create governments and to enumerate the powers deligated to them.

If a state constitution does not enumerate the power of the state to ban abortions, from where or whom does the state obtain the power to implement such a ban?

Do state constitutions have a clause that delegates all powers not enumerated in them to the State?

Can states ban vasectomies, artificial birth contol, access to Viagra, and other unnatural intervention in human reproductive activity?
Abortions were the only thing you mentioned that involves the (premeditated!) taking of a human life. Most States, AFAIK, have laws against that, and those laws would be logically extended to the earliest stages of that life, just as they are to the latest stages. Without life, all other Rights, real or perceived, are moot.

The other things mentioned, from the 'pill' to vasectomies to barrier methods, are all aimed at preventing conception, at keeping from forming that life in the first place. Not murder, any more than abstinence.

With that salient difference, it is only logical that once initiated, a human life should be safeguarded by law.

Initiation of that life is almost always optional, and there are plenty of different means to ensure that doesn't start if someone just wants to go through the motions.
