Gay marriage is up to the states, and that is the official policy of the Obama Administration as well as many Republican politicians like Dick Cheney, Ron Paul, Chris Kristie, Herman Cain, and a few other big names (I think Cain was on that list). Marijuana is up to the states, but the Obama administration's policy is that the federal government can still shut down and raid marijuana dispensaries in states where it has been legalized. During the 2008 campaign Obama promised he would not do such raids or enforce such policy that would violate a state's right to legalize marijuana, but now he's pulled a 180 on that issue and is shutting them down and raiding them in droves. Abortion is not a state's issue at all. Rulings of the Supreme Court are second in authority in this nation behind only the US Constitution, and the Court's current ruling is that a woman has right to privacy between her and her doctor, protecting her right to have an abortion. Now, states are passing "jim crow-esque" laws to prevent abortions without directly outlawing them, but it's unconstitutional for a state to pass a law specifically banning abortions.
