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.”

Just love the hot steaming loads that come out about “democracy” and a “free society” the a##hat POS is the leader
The "third party interest" is the key to the whole thing.
The Declaration of Independence says that our rights are inherent in each of us, and endowed upon us by our Creator. The Constitution guarantees to each of us these inherent rights.
I don't need the involvement of a third party to enjoy free speech, to publish, to congregate somewhere, to worship, or to petition the government for a redress of grievances.
I don't need the involvement of others to defend myself from harm.
I don't need the involvement of others to demand the privacy of my papers and possessions.
I don't need the involvement of others to have the right to confront my accusers.
But I do require the involvement of a third party to have an abortion performed on me.
An abortion is not an inherent Constitutionally-protected right of the same kind as those listed above. If someone else must collaborate with me in order for it to happen, it is not a right.
Justice Alito is simply saying that abortion does not rise to the level of a Constitutional right, and that the proper venue for society to deal with it is via the people through their state and federal legislative processes.
That's it.

Planned Parenthood was founded not simply as an organization for limiting the size of families in general but more particularly to reduce the reproduction of the black population in the United States, as Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger herself noted.

I believe 70 million voiceless murdered children disagree with barack
And government run health care.
It was not constitutionally recognized it’s why it was dropped the idiot disbarred lawyer plays Perry Mason.
A woman is free to PREVENT a pregnancy-—
She is NOT FREE to kill a human fetus.
IIRC, a prescription is NO LONGER even needed for such pills.
Lets just go full on “Purge”... No Laws, NO Rules etc... an all out “Fend for yourselves” and ditch everything moral and proper and let ‘nature’ take its course.
And YES, Big Mike and 0bamalamadingdong know all about BLOWs.
That could very easily happen; one of the popes, Paul VI I believe, made a comment along those lines, that government would use birth control and abortion as a means of controlling the people.
Well Baraq, a child doesn’t know what a free society is, if it’s dead.
