At the federal level, yes. Drop them and get back to the enumerated powers.

Fight for your social issue of choice at the state and local level.


Yeah, actually most social issues belong there although I would be for a Pro-Life amendment but our Founding Fathers seems to think that these issues are left best for the States or locals. The Feds are to have very limited powers and to protect the country at whole from outside threats, foster ease of commerce and a federal judicial system along with a couple of sundry things like launching a space shuttle or two from time to time.

Agreed. I’m pro-life too, but even if we did have a Human Life Amendment, the Feds would screw it up just like everything else. Get aggressively anti-abortion laws passed at the states. It’s the only thing that works.
