> Slavery should have been abolished when the Constitution was drafted. <

So true, so very true. But it would have had to be phased out gradually. For financial reasons, the South would never have accepted a sudden abolition. Maybe something like: No person shall be held a slave after the year 1820.

> And abortion too. <

None of the Founders would have even considered that this type of killing would ever be legal.

So true, so very true. But it would have had to be phased out gradually. Something like that, or some other type of compromise. Of course, that was highly unlikely, but I think given the eventual outcome, with foresight, those guys would have figured SOMETHING out....
