Sure bud. I'm a Republican troll. Don't worry about going through my comment history to learn a shred about who I am or what I stand for.

You think I'm not aware they'd try to repeal it? Trifectas are rare so it'd be some work to pass a law repealing it. It'll die in a chamber or get vetoed. It took a Republican trifecta just to end the Individual Mandate of the ACA, but the ACA is otherwise still in effect. But even if it only took a few years for Republicans to repeal an act granting the right to an abortion, at least they tried directly addressing the issue instead of shrugging and going "well that's that."

Yes, it'd be a lot of back and forth at the federal level for a while until people got sick of it and an Amendment actually made it to ratification. Until then, Amendments are practically impossible. Over 10,000 Amendments have been proposed since founding, but only 27 have been ratified. We can't even get the Equal Rights Amendment ratified, despite its popularity. So what makes you think 37 states would vote to ratify an Abortion Amendment? Would you also have been a naysayer in '64 when Johnson signed the umpteenth Civil Rights Act into law?

Don't get me wrong. I want an Amendment too. An Amendment is the strongest form of protection. But it's also got a very slim chance of happening within our lifetimes. I'll celebrate the moment I hear of its proposal, but I'm also not holding my breath for ratification.
