Weed is banned nationwide for example.
However states have legalized it.
I'm not seeing your point. What does have to do with the fact this isn't necessarily a states' right issue...that Alito's draft opinion doesn't exclusively hand over abortion issues to the states because, as written it doesn't proscribe new federal laws banning abortion or codifying Roe.
And some health plans are exempt from the birth control mandate. Employers with moral or religious exceptions are not required to comply, thanks to a rule put out under former President Donald Trump. (The Biden administration is currently revisiting that rule and is expected to narrow — but not eliminate — that exception.) Also unaffected are employer-sponsored health plans that have existed since before 2010 and were “grandfathered” in and not subject to the ACA’s consumer protection requirements. In 2020, about 14 percent of workers were covered through a grandfathered plan, according to data collected by KFF.

You did realize that there are also STATE LEGISLATURES? Literally, there are 50 of them, composed of elected officials, one for every state!
I cannot believe i am having to explain this...

How is it a state issue and NOT a federal issue?
How is it that a woman can have bodily autonomy in one state of the union and not in another? Shouldn't all women have equal rights in every state?
SCOTUS upheld the federal government's right to enforce drug prohibitions. Why wouldn't SCOTUS uphold the federal government's right to ban or codify Roe just like it upheld the federal government's right to prohibit certain drugs?

And already it has begun.
(and so it begins. . . )
The de-humanization of the unborn human.
Because if you don't think of them as living, growing, humans, then you can do whatever you want to them.
Explain to me why impregnation is considered a human right and abortion isn't. By law, any consenting adult of any background with any qualification or lack thereof is granted the ability to reproduce but not the ability to terminate gestation. If I didn't know better, I'd say this isn't about enforcing family values but making sure the population stays at peak numbers regardless of how many children are removed and rehoused by the state. If abortion is unethical and borderline sinful because human rights, it reasonably follows that parenthood must be licensed and regulated by the state to ensure the maximum welfare of children nationwide...because human rights. Unless that kind of thing stops being relevant the moment they are born?
Laws are put in place to follow. It's up to the people whether or not they want to follow them. Everyone knows that if you break the law, there are consequences to pay.
It's almost like you either didn't read my remarks or didn't really think about your response.
It was in response to this: "it reasonably follows that parenthood must be licensed and regulated by the state"

Yep, as should the life being carried inside the mother, yea?
How can you compare drugs to abortion constitutionally?

the way i see it;.......
the Democrats are concocting this scam of overturning Roe-v-Wade
so they get voters out his mid-term.... needlessly Scared Voters ... because the SCOTUS flipping on Womens Rights to an abortion is a False-Flag, scare-mongering Operation (on par with the mail-in-ballot fraud of last vote count)

No.

That was not my comparison, it was yours.
Show me. Because I'm reading Alito saying the issue belongs in the hands of elected officials.
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.
Last time I checked, Congress was comprised of elected officials.
What do these Congress members know that you do not?
