Other than the supreme right, the right to live, which other God-given, unalienable rights do you think the states should be able to alienate if they choose?

The right to keep and bear arms?

Free speech?

Freedom of the press?

The right to petition government for the redress of grievances?

Trial by jury?

Due process?

Freedom of political association?

Parental rights?

What?

Short of an explicit constitutional amendement banning abortions in all states, what you would need then is five Supreme Court justices who would read the Constitution that way and rule on a relevant case and strike down all state laws permitting abortion--kind of the reverse of Roe v. Wade, in the other direction, a complete 180. Do you really think that's going to happen, regardless of who is the president for the next four years?

I'll be happy with just getting Roe v. Wade overturned and returning it to the states. That would be the biggest accomplishment we've had in the last 40 years. Then we can take it from there.
