If you’re talking about an effort on the scale of amending the US Constitution, anything is possible. That’s what amending means.

The big problem is the way our present day Rats read rights as positive social entitlements rather than negative prohibitions on government encroachment. This is a stupid philosophy but if pressed will create all manner of havoc. The 1st Amendment doesn’t require me to be furnished with a printing press and the 2nd Amendment doesn’t require me to be furnished with a rifle. But they think Roe v. Wade, bad enough as it is of itself, requires any girl to be furnished with an abortion.

The normally anti 2nd Amendment George Will, yes George Will is on record being in favor of gun control, makes a decent argument for the "privileges or immunities" clause of the 14th Amendment. Go figure.

Leave that Clause out

That example really is enlightening. I will have to use it as it completely reveals what the left sees government for...total provision and regulation to the point of slavery.
