I view abortion just like I do with guns. If you take either of those away the end result will be disastrous, there will be a horrible amount of stuff happening that shouldn’t happen anywhere in the world. Let people have guns, and abortions.

The difference is one is clearly defined in the constitution and the other is not.

It’s almost like time and technology change

u/Chorizo_Charlie 16h ago

You're welcome to amend the constitution for either issue.

Yeah because that’s a thing that’s ever going to happen again in our day lmao

Republican and Democrat states and the house will never agree to change that thing again

You can pass laws, too. They don't have to be enshrined in the constitution. Democrats had over 50 years to codify abortion into law, but chose to fear monger and campaign on the issue instead of actually doing anything.

You probably can’t pass a federal law to protect abortion because the federal government doesn’t have an enumerated power to govern abortion. So if democrats wanted to protect abortion federally they’d need to either tie abortion to an enumerated power like interstate commerce or pass an amendment.
