I would not support such an amendment. I do not believe that the legislature should violate separation of powers by passing legislation to overrule decisions if the court.

This is probably not the reason you thought would govern my opinion. The Court changes over time and state decisis is not absolute; Dred Scott, Plessey v. Ferguson are two glaring examples. If the country truly swings to oppose non-medically required abortion the court will react over time.
