Are you separating the issue of a woman's right to choose from that of civil rights in general?
It seems that you are if you think it should fall under the 10th Amendment.
That's fair, I guess, if you have an argument for why this right should be separate from the others.
Perhaps one could follow the pro-birth camp in elaborating a concept of fetal rights/personhood, etc.
Then it would be the job of government to protect fetal rights by banning abortion, or at least greatly
reducing it, defining it as a clash of rights between two parties equally endowed with rights.
I don't see another way of uncoupling the right to choose from other basic civil rights.
