The decision to give this back to the voters is and was wrong. No voter has been given the opportunity to fairly vote on this and they never will. Not a single unlimited abortion amendment has failed because the powers that be write the language to trick the people. Millions of innocent lives should not be slaughtered because the average citizen has no idea what is being voted on. Roberts for once was right. Overturning Roe has been a disaster. We were on the cusp of making abortion illegal with Dobbs. Alito wrote the worse opinion in SC history. Our right to live is not subject to the “elected representatives of the individual states” What no one states, the constitution IS SILENT to a right to life. It is merely implied, just like the SC found that there was an implied right to privacy and therefore justified abortion.
We worked at this for 50 years to get abortion bans down to 6 weeks which effectively bans all abortions. The incremental approach would have forced the SC to establish law via decree (not constitutional but neither is the right to life) which at that point abortion would have been illegal throughout the land. For 250 years we have lived with this concept that no one has the right to take our lives. It was and is merely a theory. Now, according to Alito, you can be put to death for any reason if approved by the “elected representatives of the states” Where there is no statute proscribing otherwise - anything is legal.
Roe was the 2nd worse decision in SC history and only surpassed as the 2nd worse by its first, its reversal.
That is one helluva bold statement. But I'm having trouble either believing it or denying it. I'll have to think about it.
While I sympathize with what you are saying, you can not force (for long) a law on the majority of the population that doesn’t support it.
Even if they had outright banned abortion when they overturned Roe. People would have simply elected enough Senators to pack the court and overturn it.
We must change peoples hearts and minds.
