One thing neither side has really discussed is a constitutional amendment. I, for one, would favor an amendment that eliminated federal authority on all reproductive issues (not just abortion but gay marriage (or straight marriage, or polygamy, or...), prostitution, birth control, that sort of thing), leaving it to the state and local governments. That way, Tennessee will likely ban abortions except in extreme cases, while they'll be readily available in Vermont. My only concern is that this amendment should not be needed - Roe V. Wade, for instance, was one of the most disturbing Supreme Court rulings in history (Dred Scott and Kelo vs. London are two other particularly disturbing ones, although the latter is perhaps the least odious of the three).
