So how do you suggest we ban abortions in all states? Constitutional amendment? Supreme Court majority that strikes down all state laws permitting abortion? Overturn Roe v. Wade and then expect all 50 states to ban abortion? Which of those three ways--and those are the only three I can come up with at the moment--which do you think is most realistic and attainable? Or do you have some other way?

It's simple. Require every officer of government to keep their oaths, especially when it comes to their absolute first duty, which is to equally protect the lives of every innocent person within their lawful jurisdictions.

The Equal Protection for Posterity Resolution

If they won't do this, they have disqualified themselves. They have abdicated any legitimate, moral right to govern us, in the exact same way King George III did:

"He has abdicated Government here, by declaring us out of his Protection..."

Throw the bums out.

It's simple. Require every officer of government to keep their oaths. . . . If they won't do this, they have disqualified themselves. . . . Throw the bums out.

How are you going to do this "simple" thing and "require" them, practically speaking? Imperial fiat? Executive order? How are you going to "throw them out" if they don't comply?

Convincing all the voters in all the states to "throw the bums out" sounds like a nice idea, but how likely is that to happen and how long would it take? And what if one "bum" is vastly more of a bummer (like Obumma) than the only other "bum" with a chance to beat him (especially when the latter's platform is not so "bummy")?

What if, in the meantime, while we're in the longterm task of persuading and convincing, we try to get Roe v. Wade overturned and let many of the states pass laws against abortion? Wouldn't that be a good thing and something attainable?

I just saw your proposed resolution: "we will henceforth deem failure to carry out this supreme sworn duty to be cause for removal from public office via impeachment or recall, or by statutory or electoral means, notwithstanding any law passed by any legislative body within the United States, or the decision of any court, or the decree of any executive officer, at any level of governance, to the contrary."

"Impeachment or recall." Do you really think you could get the Senate to impeach the pro-abort SC justices or the pro-abort Obama, because of their position on abortion? How realistic is that?

I don't think that's realistic. What is possible, though, is to get a majority on the Supreme Court that would overturn Roe v. Wade. Even that is not a given, no matter who is appointed to the SC. But it is much more likely than impeaching the pro-aborts.
