A constitutional amendment isn’t provided for by the law? Why would you suggest I would take the law into my own hands? Did you really think that was my intent or did you throw that in for effect? Why would Fred discount another process by which to rid this country of an inherent evil? That’s the question that needs answered not some contrived question seeking to paint me as a vigilante. LOL :)

Why would Fred discount another process by which to rid this country of an inherent evil?

Because it doesn't have a chance of passing, in either the House or the Senate, or being ratified by the states, and only deflects attention from doing work that CAN be done.

In the first place, abortion was a state issue until the SCOTUS legislated from the bench. Not through the laws of the 'several states', not through the legislative process. It was by fiat.

Now, if RvW is overturned, a process in itself, then it will go back to the states, NOT the Federal legislature. Trying to do both is admirable, but Federalism is about not interfering with what should be a states rights issue.
