I doubt that any American president will have the ability to overturn Roe v Wade. As I see it, returning it to the states for a vote gives us a chance to vote on it at the state level. Will that even happen? I do not know.

Abortion is murder. That is my sincere feeling. I am also very sincerely in doubt that Roe v Wade is ever going to get overturned.

If you can't overturn Roe then the only hope at saving lives is a federal amendment.

I am ashamed to say that I would settle for overturning Roe and returning the issue to the states. It shouldn't be that way, and I would never say I am against a Life amendment, but I would take overturning Roe as a step forward. On the other hand, we are not so far gone on the marriage issue and we should learn from history and go for the amendment now, before the courts force us to work at overturning current law. We will be in a much worse postion with the marriage issue becuase we would have to nulify all the homosexual marriages if we won. The wider it spreads the harder it will be to end the practice. With abortion you can't bring dead babies back to life so there is nothing to undo. It is solely an issue about saving lives.

The federal constitution allows for amendments. Some act as though amending the constitution violates the constitution. It doesn't. It is a legitimate constitutional option.
