5. How's it's written won't impact it being challenged at every step of the way.

Ohio just passed Issue #1, a constitutional amendment legalizing abortion. Not to put words in anyone's mouth but I suspect the OP would be comfortable signing up for the amendment language. Passed 57-43 which in this state is pretty darn good.

And in spite of the clarity of the language, we're still nowhere closer to making that a reality as republicans try every move in the book (along with a few new ones) to prevent this amendment from ever being enforced.

So even when voters do get a chance to decide, republicans view is as still "undecided".

Asshats.
