We already have several Amendments that imperatively demand that every innocent person be protected. If you want to overturn them, YOU get a constitutional amendment. I'll stick with the law we have, in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution's statement of purpose in the Preamble, and in multiple existing Amendments to the Constitution.

The state constitutions also require the protection of all innocent human life and the provision of the equal protection of the laws. Most often using language that is a mix of Declaration language and Constitutional language.

"We the People of the United States, in Order to...secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

"So, overturning Roe under 10th Amendment auspices would be the destruction of the cornerstone of the republic?"

You didn't answer the question...

"I'll stick with the law we have, in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution's statement of purpose in the Preamble, and in multiple existing Amendments to the Constitution. "

I'm pro life and would to eliminate abortion with the exceptions of life of the mother, rape and incest.

However, the Constitution has never yet been construed to protect those who are not yet born. All precedence and current interpretation starts at birth. That's why I contend it would require a Constitutional Amendment to extend those protections to the unborn.

And, that's why I contend overturning Roe is the shortest, fastest path to saving some.
