President Barack Obama reacted Tuesday to the leak of a draft opinion from the Supreme Court suggesting it would rule to overturn Roe v. Wade.
The president followed the argument made by many pro-abortion activists in a 719-word statement released to reporters, warning that Americans would face the loss of their personal rights to privacy if Roe v. Wade was overturned.
“[W]hat Roe recognized is that the freedom enshrined in the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution requires all of us to enjoy a sphere of our lives that isn’t subject to meddling from the state,” he wrote, warning that the federal government could ultimately meddle with “personal decisions involving who we sleep with, who we marry, whether or not to use contraception, and whether or not to bear children.”
The draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito addresses that false argument by specifying that the decision in Roe was different — because abortion involves a choice in taking a human life.
Obama’s statement featured a loquacious defense of the leftist view of the Supreme Court, that it did not have the right to overturn abortion rights.
The former president said the draft opinion removed the “constitutionally recognized interest” of “folks” who wanted to make decisions about whether or not to have an abortion.
“The consequences of this decision would be a blow not just to women, but to all of us who believe that in a free society, there are limits to how much the government can encroach on our personal lives,” he wrote.
Obama expressed concern that poor people would face the brunt of any future decision by the Supreme Court to overturn Roe v. Wade.
“Illegal abortions,” he warned, would “inevitably pose grave risks to their health, their future ability to bear children, and sometimes their lives.”

I wonder if he looks at the mess, and owns up to much of the fact, that he was the author and key person that got the ball rolling to lawlessness.
Baracchio, go blow yourself.
Were he not such a vile snake in the grass, he would be funny.The man behind the curtain in tapping everyone’s emails and phone calls, putting the FBI after political foes, persecuting members of the press who dare to expose the criminal activity in government, interfering in parental rights (grooming school children)....the list is pages long.
And there are multiple violations of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution he swore to uphold. A vile snake.
Marxist POS concerned about a free society?
GTH, Marxist POS.
The Democrat Party does not believe we should be allowed to decide issues with our vote. They do not believe in Democracy. They should change their name.

I do believe Obama was advocating censorship a few weeks ago.

The exercise of personal freedom requires taking responsibility for your actions. Democrats want freedom without responsibility.
electing Obama as president was almost the death knell for the US as a Constitutional Republic.
This dip$hit also recently said that Americans have TOO much freedom of speech.
Well, if anyone is an expert on “blow,” it would be Obama.
