We just had the most sweeping House win ever and those Congressmen are mocked on the Senate floor by the last GOP Presidential nominee for trying to pass a balanced budget amendment.

The reason abortion was ever legal was because mothers and babies would sometimes die during child birth, sometimes one or the other would live. I guess abortion was terminating a pregnancy when the actual life of the mother was at risk, the actual physical life, but outside that it was not legal.

It's far easier to get abortion banned by organizing at the state level than nationally. If you overturn Roe and claim the baby is a person, who decides who lives if the mother's life is at risk? My point is that is the argument that supporters of Roe will bring up. Do you see this is a maneuver around Roe? It's a smart tactical move and all it does is revert abortion back to what it was pre-Roe vs. Wade.

The first step is naturally to get rid of Roe. One of the worst decisions ever. I don’t deny that right now banning it at a state level would be easier than amending the 14th amendment. But just because that’s easier to do doesn’t make it morally right. No state or federal government should be in the business of granting natural rights. Murder is already illegal in every state. Abortion is murder and therefore should be illegal.
