That is an interesting comment.
For the purpose of this post, let's stipulate that you are right: there is a time to put aside niceties and the constitutional amendment process and “put muscle behind a situation that a mere piece of paper will not remedy.”
The context of your “muscle” advocacy was Lincoln's use of the military to overthrow constitutional slavery. It is perhaps just coincidental that the 300,000 southerners killed represented economic and political rivals that would have been on the border of the Union states; competing with Union states.
Lincoln, you say, levied war on the states to crush immoral slavery; by your telling Lincoln “fought to free the slaves.”
Then you draw a comparison to immoral abortion, seemingly oblivious that abortion is founded on the punitive and ill-compounded 14th amendment made possible only by Lincoln bayonets - I mean Lincoln muscles.
Now this question: how many abortionists have you muscled out of existence in recent days?
Nothing that happened after “Lincoln passed away” had anything to do with Lincoln. You see there was a particular person who was connected to “Lincoln passing away”. All that befell the Nation after “Lincoln passed away” can be blamed precisely on that person. I don’t want to be the one to have to break it to you. We will never know what might have been if only Lincoln hadn’t “passed away”. We are just lucky that Lincoln, before he “passed away”, put his signature on the 13th Amendment (even though it wasn’t required). He wanted his name on it.
