Abortion can be left up to the states. It shouldn't be, but technically it can. Interracial marriage and SS marriage are different.
For one, it makes absolutely no sense to be SS married legally in one state, but not in another state. Same goes for interracial marriage.
You have THAT, plus the federal government.
Those SS married and interracial married are granted rights thru the federal government like social security rights and taxation rights and inheritance rights to name only a few. You can't leave issues and rights this important up to only the states nor deny couples of those federal rights that married heterosexual enjoy and are protected within.
Abortion is one thing, but everything else is different and must be handled as such within jurisdiction.
