    Pass a law that medical decisions are between a patient and a doctor. You claim it needs to be an amendment, but there’s no reason for that.

    Your entire premise seems to be capitulating to fascism because you’re afraid it can’t be stopped at the federal level. Do you really think “some fascism at the state level” would be a peaceful solution in the long term?

      They tried passing a law to make abortion legal in all 50 states. It was called the Women’s Health Protection Act. It was defeated in the Senate, twice. I’m sure they’ll keep trying, but even if they succeed the law will be challenged and I think it’s likely the current supreme court would overturn it. Plus, laws passed by one Congress can be repealed by another Congress. The only way to guarantee abortion rights in all 50 states would be to amend the constitution.
