America should also decide that preventing human lives from being prematurely ended is worth a Constitutional Amendment (after XX-million lives are spent on the matter).

America has not decided that. America remains deeply divided partly because the nature of the problem serves no middle ground-it's a life or not-but also because the question was taken out of the people's hands. A constitutional amendment banning abortion is implausible, which makes the question a election gimmick, but if it happen it would bybass the role of the 13 states that didn't vote for it and disenfranchise anyone who wanted to change it in the future.

legally Prohibitting behavior is hard enough. If it were to occur in a way that bypassed the will of the people it would create disaster.

Clearly those thirteen states would still have their say, in this. And clearly, if such an amendment were passed, it would be the act of the People.

Agree with how the other side uses this.

As SoCar said, BTW, always ask a Democrat candidate their position on slavery reparations.
