An amendment just simply would not happen now, and abortion would continue as it is if you focused everthing on that route.
This way gets it done, and shows more immediate life saving:
1) Overturn RvW - some states quickly restrict/outlaw abortion. (less abortions instead of the same number, eh?)
2) Work state to state to get the restrictions & prohibitions.
3) When you get 3/4, go for the amendment.
This is Fred’s plan. I don’t really give a rip about a flag burning amendment.
Georgia is trying to do it right now even without waiting for Roe to be repealed.
Neither did a lot of people, why did Fred sponsor it then, compared with his other "federalist" ideas?
As to whether or not a constitutional amendment is viable "at this time" is really irrelevant. Why does Fred feel the need to poke his finger in the eye of those who do want it and have stood for it for more than 25 years?
Either he wants to pick a fight with those people and let the "mods" know that he's really on their side, or he's been listening to some bad reporting that social conservatives need to be shown the door in the Republican Party.
Either way, not at all politically savy for a savy guy.
