Sorry, Vivek, not voting for you because of this:
On the issue of abortion, Ramaswamy said he identifies as “pro-life,” but would oppose a federal abortion ban. He said abortion is a “states rights issue.”
The Bill of Rights protects people's right not to deprived of life without due process of law, and the 14th Amendment applies that to the states, and grants the Fed government the power to prevent states from violating these rights if they attempt to do so:
Amendment XIV
Section 1.
All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
Section 5.
The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.
Hinduism is indeed pro-life, but there are huge numbers of abortions in India anyway. (Just like among "Christians" in the USA I suppose).
