"Presidents don’t get to change the Constitution. Twenty years of Reagan, Bush, and Bush hasn’t changed the Constitution re abortion, and eight years of anyone you want to elect won’t change it either. The only solution is to appoint judges who believe in federalism, realize that Roe V Wade is bad law, and overturn it so the states can decide. If you can’t do that, you certainly can’t amend the Constitution." Are you suggesting abortion is actually in the Constitution?

Are you serious?

It doesn't matter what I think, you think, or Fred Thompson thinks. Given Roe vs Wade, any law passed banning abortion would be ruled unconstitutional. There are only two remedies. (1) The Supreme Court reverses Roe Vs Wade or (2) the Constitution is amended to clarify it for the SCOTUS.

Surely you knew that, since those are the only two ways your goals can be met. And you do understand that Thompson's approach is #1, don't you?
