“And by adhereing to the fallacy that a HLA Amendment will stop abortion sooner is clinging to a false hope.”

What’s with the false-choice straw man argument?

If protecting the lives of prenatal children is the objective, you...

1. Support overturning Roe v. Wade

AND (not OR)

2. You support a Human Life Amendment that protects prenatal children’s lives in all 50 states

Doesn’t matter which one comes first, though the latter would accomplish both 1 and 2 simultaneously.

Sorry, needing a SUPER majority for an Amendment to pass is not going to happen. It didn't happen when the Repubs had control of BOTH houses. It's not going to happen anytime soon. If you wait on an Amendment, MORE unborn will die waiting on the process.

To that end, it's time to change what can be changed to influence change. That means constructionist judges on the SCOTUS to make that change begin.

The objective of overturning RvW is not going to happen with an Amendment, it WILL happen by sending it back to the states where eliminating or writing law that will work for everyone can be instituted.

We want abortion on demand stopped. You and I see different ways to get to that point.

The way through the SCOTUS and ultimately the ballot box will be the winner.
