Seems that you and joe are arguing about how to get to the same conclusion, and, if I’m reading correctly, I think I’ll have to go with his method of not letting the perfect be the enemy of the good.

Right now we have a situation where the states aren’t allowed to restrict abortions due to an unconstitutional court ruling.

Letting the states decide the issue would be a huge step in the right direction, then we can work for a specific constitutional amendment banning the practice, as slavery was.

states not allowed to restrict -> states allowed to restrict -> constitutional amendment banning the practice

Allowing a pro-choice by state approach might sound good in theory, but ultimately would never save a single life.

Well over 90% of abortions are performed in extremely liberal states that will never abolish it. States that would outlaw abortion are typically states where few if any abortions are performed in the first place.

Hogwash. You don't save a fundamental principle by first destroying it. In reality all you're really doing is surrendering before the first shot is even fired.
