So, if Roe V. Wade were to be overturned, it would then go back to the states. This would be better than nothing of course, but I would like to see a Constitutional amendment that would protect innocent human life. If it goes back to the states, then unborn babies in some states would not have a right to life while those in other states would. I think something as sacred as defenseless human life should be equally protected under the Constitution. That's my two cents worth.

Obviously, a Constitutional amendment banning abortion would be the ideal situation, but I don't see it happening. To pass an amendment, two third of the Senate and the House would have to favor it AND three quarters of the states would have to ratify it -- I don't see either of these as being likely to happen any time in the near future.

I do think it would be possible to pass an amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
