Abortion is like slavery in 1860.

There is nothing in the Constitution that makes abortion legal or illegal, hence, from a purely constitutional perspective, its a state issue. From a moral perspective, like slavery, it should be everybody’s issue. Absent another civil war, only a Constitutional Amendment or slow death by legislative stragulation and popular education, can kill it.

I believe Roe should be overturned so states can start outlawing abortion.

You can only get an anti-abortion Constitutional amendment if 3/4s of the states ratify such. Therefore, there first has to be significant movement by a large number of states to outlaw abortion for such an amendment to pass.
