More than that, and this is his point in the video, it's handing a weapon to the enemy. As soon as Republicans make it clear that they believe the Federal government should have jurisdiction over this issue, they're paving the way for a Democrat majority to pass national abortion legislation, and SCOTUS could very well back them on it.
By voiding Roe v Wade, SCOTUS handed control of the issue back to the states. Republicans should be, and are, using that as an incentive to pass state legislation. But you're right: SCOTUS did not say that the Federal government must not have jurisdiction: they only said that the previous court's ruling setting national policy was void.
Republicans should be standing by the GOP's core constitutional position that states' rights take precedence, but the pro-life lobby is so shortsighted that they're insisting on trying to do exactly what the left did with Roe and set a national policy because they think the fact that they have control of Congress now means they always will.
For 40 years from 1954 to 1994, the Democrats had an uninterrupted majority in the House of Representatives. It's entirely possible that that could happen again, and the pro-life lobby wants to give Congress the power to supersede the states on the abortion issue?
Abortion is not a legal issue - it’s a cultural issue. You want to stop abortions? You need to retake America’s institutions and directly influence multiple generations.
Nearly everything the fed does is overstepping their authority. If it isn't providing for the common defense, or "regulating" (IN THE ORIGINAL MEANING OF KEEPING IN WORKING ORDER) interstate commerce, it should be done by the states. That means no department of education. No ATF. None of that bullshit.
A federal abortion ban would never pass congress. It just kicks the hornet's nest.

I don't see where anybody said Congress doesn't have jurisdiction. The federal judicial stopped making the law.

Fuck that.
I agree with dat. I think that's Trump's position.

Killing people is indeed a legal issue.
Absolutely. A federal ban would be doubling down on the Burger Court's original mistake.
The issue is too divisive for a federal answer, for or against. Better left to the states, as the constitution intended.
Do it. Accelerate.

We need some form of basedism government.
Stupid bitches can have an abortion, but once you do, we're removing your uterus as you clearly can't be trusted as a parent.
He's now been infoboxed. Thanks YouTube!
Too bad he's not updating his Rumble.
Not this way. Stay honest.
