    Maybe Congress should have made an actual law instead of leaning on a court ruling for decades. Congress needs to stop using the court to protect them from having to make unpopular decisions. This also wasn’t anything Trump was pushing for, I don’t think he gave any thought to the issue at all.

        If they were to make abortion legal, how does one selectively enforce that? Federal agents blocking people from entering abortion clinics?

          They defeat it the courts… I don’t know, have some schmuck file a lawsuit and then have a republican led Supreme Court escalate it then rule its unconstitutional. That never happens though.

            So have Congress make a new amendment for it. They had the time. That’s much harder to overturn and it’s much more difficult for a court to ignore a constitutional amendment vs some old case law.

              Yeah, that would have stuck. Though, I do fear the lengths they would go through to defeat an amendment. As we have witnessed its not beyond them to enlist nazis and foreign governments. I can’t even imagine.

              I mean, there are ammendments they want to defeat right now. Those one don’t have the spin of “baby murder.”
