Wow, and the people on the "federalist" side of this issue claim that getting the HLA adopted is a pipe dream. Good luck with your plan to get the 14th repealed. In the meantime, as long as it remains, it seems to place abortion squarely in the federal sphere as far as I can see. You can't ignore it just because you don't like it.

Note that I don't necessarily favor a federal law banning abortion or even the passage of a new constitutional amendment. I don't think they're necessary. If Roe v. Wade is overturned, then the abortion issue can indeed be returned to the states...and any state laws allowing abortion would be struck down as a violation of the 14th.

Do you have one of those little black balls you ask question and then pretend to have the answer. Where did I say I had plans to repeal the 14th. I said I thought it should be abolished and I still think that. It has nothing to do with the abortion debate.
