No, actually. Roe V. Wade left open the possibility that the legislature could define personhood, which was not explicit in the constitution. There is a very real chance, especially with a conservative leaning court, that any challenge to the Right to Life Act would fail. Like I said, it must be on all fronts. And one of those fronts MUST be a amendment to overturn R.v W. as well. Life is not a states right issue if you understand the unborn to be human beings.

So you define all those who see the unborn as human lives as activists? The only activists are those trying to obscure that FACT.

I want federalists who will uphold the Constitution and determine if laws presented to them are consistent with such. I don't want an activist reading even if I agree with the end result. It just means activists of a different slant can tilt it back the other way next time.

Exactly. With Ronald Reagan's platform declaring the self-evident personhood of the unborn as the unshakable core of every argument.
