If these amendments are worded to expressly forbid the federal government from interfering with things like marriage, "sodomy rights" (a legal oxymoron), and abortion, then these are repeats of the Ninth and Tenth Amendments which Fabian Progressive Socialists have ignored. Why won't they ignore these? However, I would support that language and those amendments.
If, however, these amendments command the federal government to ENFORCE traditional marriage and the sanctity of life in forbidding abortions, that would be a disaster. Increasing the power of the monstrous federal government by handing it power to interfere with the states and individuals in these "social" areas is committing social and political suicide.

All progressive amendments tell the people what they can and cannot do...
All constitutional amendments tell the government what is can and cannot do to the citizens...
Prohibition was a failure because it told the citizens NOT to do something...
A prohibition would have worked a LOT better had it been worded as allowing states to ban alcohol, but it would be pointless because states have the power to do so already.
Article V ping.
The mere process of passing new amendments would be educational. By the end of the process, millions of people would become aware of the issues involved.
