starting the process will rattle the opposition and hopefully they will overreach and something could get done.

Do nothing gets nothing done.

It's sad, but reality.

Of those, only 27 have been adopted and ratified. That's about .023%. I think the chance of any amendment succeeding these days falls into the category of "slim to none."

This SCOTUS is about nothing but money.

Fundies are suckers.

You'll never get it out of Congress, let alone get it past 3/4 of the state legislatures.

A constitutional convention opens up it all.

They could decide to throw out the existing constitution and devise an entirely new document.

Dumbest idea ever. There's a reason there hasn;t been a state sponsored constitutional convention in 226 years.

amendment passed?

We could use the ERA as a platform and add a phrase to add the right to body control.

increase the odds by tacking on an abortion-related clause.

ran out.

Even with a state convention...especially with a state convention.

38 states are required to ratify a Constitutional amendment. In 2013 alone, 22 states passed restrictions on abortion. Do you really believe that 10 of those states are going to suddenly change their minds, and agree to put Roe v. Wade into the Constitution?

No way.

you would have to take the Congressional route, meaning you'll need 2/3 of the House and Senate to present the amendment to the states. Such a time period would automatically exclude the possibility of a ratifying convention.

Good luck with that.

quickly. The name of the game is to be ready for it.
