do you think it should be legal for a nonpregnant woman to use cocaine?

I like your ideas here. I like clerifying that the second amendment applyes to modern weapons and I would further that idea by having clerify that it includes so-called "assult weapons" and it protects privat ownership of fire arms.
I like you idea of creating a bodily soverighty amendment, though Pro Choice would never allow such an abortion ban to come true.
Sometimes deficit spending is neccisary, even inexess, so I don't believe that an amendment is warented there.
I would also repeal the 17th Amendment and return selection of the Senators to the state legislatures.
I'm not sure what the most eloquent and concise way of saying it would be, but I'd like it to cover things such womens rights during pregnancy and childbirth, circumcision (or other cosmetic surgery) of minors, organ donation, etc.
Bodily Sovereignty is a desperately make up concept based solely on the desire to enshrine abortion into the constitution.
It would mean we could sell our body parts if we wanted to and legalize prostitution, and might even make it unconstitutional to put anyones body in jail or under any other type of sanction, that would violate the sovereignty of it.
Just so precious abortion is constitutionally enshrined.
abortion gets the headlines and makes people angry. people argue about abortion so much that other bodily sovereignty issues get completely ignored. for example, many hospitals across the country have policies that forbid women who have had previous C-sections from giving birth vaginally. they are told that they are required to have a second surgery. and its completely legal to perform unnecessary cosmetic surgery on children. there are a lot of reasons why such an amendment is necessary, and yes, abortion is one of them.
In most cases it is the OB that requires the c-sec. There is a possibility of a uterus rupture in VBACs and most OBs are concerned about being sued if a VBAC goes bad.for example, many hospitals across the country have policies that forbid women who have had previous C-sections from giving birth vaginally. they are told that they are required to have a second surgery.
Of course you would. Liberals are pretty much always the ones willing to throw the 1st Amendment under the bus the moment it gets in their way.
I would change the first amendment to remove some of the loopholes like saying burning and American Flag is speech when in reality it has nothing to do with speech..........
Guess you're wrong, aquapub.

:rofl - As opposed to neo-cons who want to "change" equal rights and due process the moment it gets in their way? Oh pubby. Your hypocrisy.
Unless it involves burning the flag.
Or New York art exhibits that the troglodyte mayor deems anti-religious.
Or websites that you consider harmful to children. Or images of boobs on television.
Or just about anything else that conservatives find offensive.
actually, I was thinking more in terms of WMDs then firearms.
what would happen, is that any abortion method where the death of the fetus doesn't somehow make the procedure easier for the woman, would become illegal. any other method would be a legal form of self defense.

You cannot remove freedom of expression (even if it is flag-buring) without neutralizing freedom of speech.
:doh
Flag burning, when not for respectfull disposal, is arson.

I did not say throw the first amendment out, I said get rid of some of the loopholes that leftys like you take advantage of to circumvent the definition.........
