I really don't see how having different rights, for different women, depending on which state they live in, would work. I just don't think it can work.
That is how our system of government works; you have the right to choose - to choose where you live, what contraception to use and to support the representative that best meets your values.
The point is simple. when this court overturns Roe, what is to stop them from deciding that abortion is murder and outlawing it everywhere? We know states like Alabama, Texas and Georga probably will, but states like California, Illinois and New York won't.
5 judges should not have the power to decide things that are not specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Those decisions are specifically mentioned in the Constitution as to be left the states to decide.
The Supreme Court is a two-edge sword, and they have been usurping power for 100 years. It is time to stop government in its tracks and restore the checks and balances in our WRITTEN Constitution.
You were happy when they ruled on things you agreed with, but the shoe is on the other foot now. This court can do whatever it wants based on the stare decisis created by Roe. That is wrong, and I agree with the decision.
Wake up and smell the coffee; conservatives have changed tactics. They are using the left's playbook to undo the things the left has accomplished.
The only peaceful solution in my opinion is to limit government and put the states back in charge through a Convention of States. DC will never voluntarily relinquish power.
The bloodbath heading for the Democrats the fall is going to empower the Republicans to ram their agenda through. I don't think that is right either.
