Individual states are passing laws in relation to abortion. Therefore the legal competence lies with the individual states. It is the Supreme Court that has imposed limits on what they can decide(ie they can't have a blanket ban), not the Federal government. If the Federal government had legal competence on these matters, then they would've already shut down the possibility of the individual states having their own restrictions.

With the Roe vs Wade decision, not even the Federal government could overturn it. How is that democratic?
