"Or Congress"

Because of the Tenth Amendment, this particular issue is purely a state by state decision. Even if Congress passed an amendment, two-thirds of the states would have to ratify it. Not possible. Congress can't do shit.

“Or Congress.”

That would be problematic. Murder is not a federal law decision, it’s a state issue.

But under our constitution Congress has no authority to legislate in this area.

The decision moved the debate on abortion from the national government to the various state governments. The United States Congress is out of the picture.
