you miss the point of the constitution. Which is odd, since you support a reported 'constitutionist' for president.

The purpose of the constitution and bill of rights is to enumerate and limit the powers of government. There is nothing in either document to give them the power to stop states from outlawing abortion (why roe v wade is flawed) OR to enable them to prohibit abortion with anything short of a consitutional amendment.

Your joke of a candidate says he can do it via EO and a creative interpretation of the 5th amendment - which is inherently flawed, because THE FIFTH AMENDMENT APPLIES TO THE POWER OF THE GOVERNMENT, NOT PRIVATE CITIZENS!!!!

Read that again: The thing he cites as giving him power to stop all abortions via EO gives him no such power! It's actually in reverse - it limits his power!!!

Do you actually understand that, or are you going to spout the same "the job of the government is to protect people" line again and again????
