Problem was, it failed to pass the first step for any amendment. The Senate vote was 50-49 against, falling far short of the 67 votes needed for passage.
Btw, its wording was pretty simple.
“A right to abortion is not secured by this Constitution.”
That simply wording would have meant, Roe v Wade would've been overturned and the issue thrown back to the states.
Its really a moot point. There isn't gonna be a Human Life amendment in the foreseeable future. We need to get a fifth pro-life conservative on the high court, which would then overturn RvW and send it back to the states. That is the best resolution possible at this point in time.

Good points. We are quite close to winning this so long as Hillary and her ilk don’t make it to the White House. There are several Republican candidates who promise to appoint strict constructionists. Some of them even appear likely to follow through if elected (others are not to be trusted).
