What did Roe do?

Roe overturned all STATE LAWS against abortion.

There were no FEDERAL laws concerning abortion, at that time.

Simply put, overturning Roe WOULD make abortion a State ISSUE once again.

Idiots like Keyes want a “Human Life Amendment” and virtually nothing else will satisfy them, even though such a process is probably impossible to pull off, successfully.

We don’t need a Constitutional Amendment to end the abortion holocaust. What we need are elected leaders who have actually read the Constitution, with comprehension, and who will do their sworn duty to uphold it.

If folks want to gut the principles of the Declaration of Independence, the very purpose that the Constitution states for itself, and the the provisions of the Fifth and the Fourteenth Amendments, let THEM try for a Constitutional Amendment.

But even if they passed it, such a thing would still not be lawful. The destruction of innocent human life is a violation of God’s Law and the laws of nature, both of which precede, and are preeminent to, any mere human document.

The only way to get a Human Life Amendment, is to be successful in getting two-thirds of the Congress to vote for it. The only way to do that is to have the people behind it. The best way to do that is to work in each state to convince people that protecting unborn children is the right thing to do. Thus, when we've won the issue in the STATES, the Federal issue will for the most part, be solved.

As we've seen by Roe-v-Wade, an edict from on high doesn't solve the problem; it only makes it worse. This has to come from the citizens up, not the government down.
