As I said in #86, Fred knows that there is not enough support for a constitutional amendment banning abortion to have it passed by 2/3 of Congress and 3/4 of the states. Any candidate who says he or she will end abortion is either lying or out of touch with reality.
The only hope for greatly reducing abortion in the relatively short term is via the USSC route, in which a conservative originalist USSC majority would reverse Roe and thereby allow states to once again decide their own policy on the issue. That isn't a perfect solution by any means, but it is a long step toward that goal while a total ban is simply not achievable until enough anti-abortion sentiment is generated to pass and ratify a constitutional amendment. No one is any more anti-abortion than I am, but I also realize that it won't be ended overnight no matter who sits in the Oval Office next.
“Fred knows that there is not enough support for a constitutional amendment banning abortion.”
Fred doesn’t say he opposes the amendment because it’s not achievable. He says he it because states should have the “right” to allow the lives of prenatal children to be terminated.
Welcome to the 21st century, Senator Douglas.
Mr. Lincoln, would you care to respond?
