Nope. Ain’t going to buy this load of garbage. Absolutely no internals were presented. Could be Adults, not Likely Voters, and could be skewed 20% toward Democrats.

We will never know, so we will never believe.

Besides, when were things before the Judiciary decided by polls anyways? Would the Dred Scott decision be reversed, at the time, if they had taken a poll? I think not.

Yes. But the hoops The Hill want you to jump through do not allude to that fact.

The worst thing about Roe v. Wade is that it allowed our politicians to hide behind the ruling for far too long. The issue needs to be debated, but the debate never happened as long as Roe was out there.

The blow to the left is about the ability to create rights in the Constitution. 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. Once the third party is involved, there is a role for government regulations to play:

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.

Dredd Scott was a bad ruling because it violated the right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness (made moot by the 13th amendment).

Plessy v. Ferguson was overturned by Brown v. Board of Education because it violated the right to peaceably assemble.

With the overturning of Roe v. Wade, many of the invented rights (based on equal protection and nothing else) will be up for debate, meaning they must be inherent individual rights or societally agreed upon law via the legislative processes.

When Roe is reversed, three things will happen:

  1. The debates will begin in the several states, as the states grapple with the issue.
  2. The people will eventually clamor for a national solution after the states create a patchwork of different laws.
  3. Congress will be forced to come up with single uniform solution to abortion.
As long as Roe has been "settled law," it allowed the extremes to rule the middle. On the one hand was the "abortion any time" crowd that included day of birth (and sometimes the day after), and on the other hand was the "no abortion ever" under any circumstance group. Most people are somewhere in the middle of these two extremes.

They need to be heard, and the politicians need to be forced to listen and deal with it once and for all.

What were the public polls on slavery and civil rights and LGBTQ cases?

Actually surprised they could only manufacture 64% in one of their push polls.

This is encouraging!

And what do the 64% know about “the decision” they want to keep, and how many of them are familiar enough with the US Constitution to even HAVE an opinion?

“The Hill” should rightly be called what it is - a shithole at the bottom of a hill down deep at the bottom of a valley.

This was the misleading-to-inaccurate question that was actually asked:

3. What should the U.S. Supreme Court do about Roe v Wade, the 1973 decision that made abortion legal?

That means 2 in three have no idea what the court does, how Roe was “constructed” or what happens afterwards.

Of course, we must be troubled by this because the average person on the street is totally versed in the nuances of Constitutional law. (/sarcasm)

2 in 3? As in two out of every three people in the US?

In a world in which Biden got 81 million votes. Nowhere.

“Dangerous for women??”

My recollection is, for most pregnancies, birth is safer for the mother than abortion. Most Americans don’t know that because the MSM hides that information and pushed the alternative narrative.

This is a YouGov online poll and worthless.

Used to create a narrative.

But they pull any about 2000 Mules immediately? They say to post on existing threads, but never provide a link to any. Nor are there any new threads in breaking news or Front Page News. I must say, I’m pretty frustrated by this behavior. Are they intentionally trying to stop all discussion of this important movie?

Well the RNC stated any mention of 2020 could be detrimental to the 2022 candidates so there’s always that.........lol?
