What I reject is the idea of outlawing abortion by something like an executive order. Why?
Please point out the part of the Constitution which indicates that the Supreme Court has the authority to declare something unconstitutional, but that the President or Congress does not.

Alas, the stated wellspring of this power--Marbury v. Madison--is not actually part of the Constitution.

Do you really think that the framers of the Constitution would endorse the idea of the President overturning the laws of the states simply by issuing a statement that he considered them invalid?
I have no more desire to live according to the whims of a conservative autocrat than a liberal one.
And if you're going to bring up the Fourteenth Amendment, that's one I'd repeal in a shot if I could.
