> they never put abortion into the constitution to firmly protect it

Neither party has had the votes to do that in a while (2/3rds in both the House and the Senate). It must also be ratified by 3/4ths of the states (38 right now).

Not going to happen for a long time.

Edit: Quick scan show the last time a party had 2/3rds majority in both was 1965-1967 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Party_divisions_of_United_Stat...)

The number you're looking for is 3/5 . And they did codify that one.

The founders had no qualms about strongly disenfranchising people. The founders were NOT good people by any measurement.
