I would amend the U.S. Constitution...

I don't know about you, but I'd be a lot more comfortable if he had said, "I would propose an amendment..." A minor squabble for sure, but I'd prefer some recognition that the states ultimately amend the constitution, not presidents.

You’re forgetting, Hunter is not president yet.

He introduces this bill year after year as a congressman.

It is the personhood-at-conception bill that has over 100 co-sponsors, which would define personhood as moment of conception, so, it would allow us to have a reversal of the effects of Roe v. Wade without a constitutional amendment.

Also, I’m not impressed with states’ rights when it comes to abortion. My own NYS had legal abortion BEFORE Roe.

Abortion is unconstitutional if any state:

Amendment V

“..nor be
deprived of LIFE (emphasis mine), liberty, ..”
