There are actual amendments concerning slavery.

I am VERY pro life, but I think it's a states issue - not a national one.

Yes, there are "actual amendments concerning slavery." But they were adoped only after a Civil War that cost over 600,000 American lives. (About the number of American lives destroyed by abortion every six months.)

Granted, from a practical point of view, it looks like we'll have to knock down Roe and then slug it out state by state. But as a matter of principle, there are also "actual amendments" concerning the right to life (Fifth Amendment: No person shall be...deprived of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law) which ought to apply to every human being without regard to age or condition of dependency.
