About 1900, abortion was illegal IN EVERY STATE.
Why???....cuz you can't kill a human being just because you want to. There is no such freedom.
Interesting that in 1900 abortion was just still legal everywhere in America.
I don’t know when or why that started changing. I know part of the women’s movement was agitating for abortion rights in the 1960s and climaxed in 1973 with Roe.
But what is the mindset involved that it is considered to be such an important civil right , for a woman to terminate a pregnancy without any restrictions?
That is not the reason Roe should never have been. It's an issue of states' rights. Our Constitution does not support the right to an abortion. That power is held by the states.
Similarly the power over education is not in our Constitution. It is left to the states to control it. Unfortunately the school boards and teachers sold their rights in return for federal dollars. States can do whatever they want in their schools as long as they don't break the law and as long as they stop selling themselves for money. When they take that money they are what we used to call who-ers.
