My point is why don't we work now on getting Roe v. Wade overturned and then when hopefully there is the political will for an Amendment then working on it. Doing it my way would result in lives being saved in the meantime.

That may be, but trying to do that with a president who would undermine the national effort would only add an extra burden to the cause, and decrease the chance for success. Without a federal ban, it is only a matter of time before a liberal court gives us another Roe v Wade, and we're back to square one.

Better to keep the focus on banning abortion now, federally. Imagine the effect of such an effort on the nation, particularly if led by the president. Support would build, and the amendment would increasingly become within reach.

But if we prematurely signal to our politicians that we will "settle for less," we decrease the likelihood of getting the ban.

I agree with that.
