Yep
RE: I sincerely doubt the liberal Court will overturn Roe.
The issue is not about overturning Roe. It is about the rights of individual states to decide their own policy on abortion (in this case Mississippi).
The Supreme Court should have decided in favor of states rights when it was first brought to them in the 1970’s.
We’re now coming full circle in 2021.
it should be a simple case of pointing to the part that says abortion is legal... case closed
1) who is roe and who is Wade?
Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution
3) locate in the argument where abortion is mentioned
[P]rovides a "right to privacy" that protects a pregnant woman's right to choose whether or not to have an abortion.
4) state what happened to the baby?
McCorvey's appeal had become moot because she had already given birth to her child and no longer had a pregnancy to abort.
5) Now state your case against abortion based on the findings and only the finding/ decision in the roe vs. wade ruling. - no ifs, ands , or buts. Strictly -On the dicision [sic]...
This right of privacy, whether it be founded in the Fourteenth Amendment's concept of personal liberty and restrictions upon state action, as we feel it is, or ... in the Ninth Amendment's reservation of rights to the people, is broad enough to encompass a woman's decision whether or not to terminate her pregnancy.
Note that the current lawsuit does not argue for or against abortion per se, but instead argues that the decision should not be dictated by Federal-level dicta; specifically, the Ninth Amendment relegates the decision to the people, as regulated by each State. If Roe v Wade is struck down, it doesn't universally prohibit abortion; any restrictions are the purview of each State. Some states have laws that trigger if/when Roe v Wade is struck down.
Remember the concept of a "Reno divorce"? We would see people traveling to States where abortion is legal in order to have the procedure done. It's not a universal prohibition as some abortion advocates opine.
excellent answer. you had to get to the very end of a long dissertation before they reached it.
I disagree. Support for total or “6 week” bans is well under 33% nationwide. The backlash would hurt Republicans nationwide and and lead to more D’s winning and looser abortion laws. But I seriously doubt Roe is going anywhere.
God bless Mississippi.
This is not a courageous group of judges. At most they might lower the age of viability.
It would be a lot less profitable if they had a higher rate of spontaneous fires.
The lib politicians will literally fund their own underground illegal mills.
There are two courageous justices. The rest are cowards and devils.
7-2 to uphold Roe.
Don’t they still have to overturn Roe? Federal law supercedes State, even when wrongly decided.
