Make a constitutional argument for trying to ban porn and abortion. The door swings both ways.

The Preamble:
"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America."

Quite a rainbow!

Get enough people to elect representatives to accomplish this. What makes you think that rational people will shrink from their defenses listed in this thread just because you can imagine an outcome that (you assume) is contrary to their personal views?

If abortion were outlawed via our Constitutionally-defined system of government, then those who disagree can attempt to overturn that, using our Constitutionally-defined system of government. That's the way it's supposed to work.
