Protecting Life is a national interest and banning abortion should occur on a national level and along with that federal prosecution for those who perform, obtain, have, arrange, or in any way conspire with a woman to have an abortion.
It is a state issue. The Constitution has never delegated power to the Federal Government to control abortions, in spite of the Courts ruling otherwise in Roe vs Wade.
It is a state issue, and I’m confident that 1/2 of the nation will outlaw abortions. (probably with a few exceptions)
If pro-life Constitutional amendments were made would they be:
1. specifically targeted to prohibit the orchestration of all infanticide including abortion and assisted dying
2. Broader scope, eg to protect the rights of the unborn AND born child against harms inspired or motivated by parental / communal / social indoctrination.
Just curious as to how a well crafted constitutional amendment might be used, say, to also reinforce the protective characteristic of biological sex, and end the transgender nonsense between birth and puberty.
I think if done carelessly a constitutional amendment could have unintended side effects.
For example, the practice of totally unnecessary (even where it’s performed for religious / cultural reasons) male AND female circumcisions could be impacted. Or the right of a parent to refuse lifesaving surgery for their newborn because of their own religious beliefs.
We Brits have had a bit of a problem for decades over what is and is not “reasonable chastisement” for a child. Bare bottom spanking, caning and whipping are generally regarded as pedo fetishes of the parent/teacher not as legitimate punishment of a child.
And so on.
