"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.

Well, then you must agree with Blackmun that the child in utero is not a person.

Because, if, as science has proved beyond any shadow of doubt, the fetus is a person, they are explicitly protected by our existing Constitution, whether you like it or not.
