SCOTUS, abortion, and rewriting Americans' rights
Vložit
- čas přidán 21. 08. 2024
- In overturning its landmark decision in Roe v. Wade on Friday, the conservative majority on the Supreme Court has removed federal constitutional protections for women and turned the question of abortion rights over to state legislatures, precipitating bans on the procedure in many Republican-led states. CBS News correspondent Jan Crawford talks with law experts who say the conservative legal movement's decades-long battle to upend the right to privacy underpinning Roe will not stop with abortion; and with an anti-abortion rights advocate who believes banning abortion will benefit women.

That conservative legal scholar is off her rocker if she thinks this has the potential to be a unifying moment for women
I agree, and I think she very well knows that already. She knows we're basically rolling back the 20th century, and she couldn't be more pleased.
For someone like her, if you're not married (to someone of the opposite sex) with at least two kids by the time you're 30, you're a worthless person. People of her ilk want to do everything in their power to make this country so homogenized in the way we live that we will become unrecognizable as individuals. In her desperation at homogeneity, we will all lose our humanity, and she can't wait.
Then what she is supposedly hoping for is that once she has forced all of us to live a certain way that Democrats will be forced to fund government programs (very possibly run by Evnagelical churches) to sustain that way of life, with the belief that Dems will have no choice given the Court will eventually rule the through their decisions in the coming years, that only one way of life is now acceptable and legal in this country.
It's as sick and twisted as it sounds.
These people will say literally anything in pursuit of their own agenda.
It’s a unifying moment for virtue signaling phonies and religious hypocrites. So there’s that.
Unifying the kind of women she detests so, of course.
what does conservative even mean? what definition would encompass both Trump and Pence?
This is a health care issue in other countries. As a 76 year old woman who fought for this right, I am deeply sad and afraid for the future of this country but, more than anything, scared for poor women who can't take time off work and don't have the resources to travel to another state to avoid having another child they can't support.
Bless you for fighting for women’s rights. We’ll have to take it from here. ❤️
So basically she didn't learn her lesson from the babies she already can't afford.
"Poor women"? Have you heard? Men can have babies now too! So "fetus" is a child? Accurate acknowledgement. Many companies have committed to paying for travel and abortion expenses. It's cheaper than paying for a delivery and infant care as well as medical insurance for the next 26 yrs. It's about the money.
Why didnt they take responsibility before conceiving then?
We can remove the corruption in the healthcare system without killing babies.
Most abortions are not involving a sick Mom or a Sick baby.
The political parties lie.
Separation of church and state is in the Constitution, The Supreme Court should know this. Your religion shouldn't have any say in US LAWS. I say remove those justices' who lied under oath during their confirmation hearings.
False.
Separation of church and state is not in the constitution.
This is ridiculous. All these "religion" arguments are bonkers. No where did any justice quote religion or religious texts.
As a matter of fact, this allows the most barbaric abortion laws in the civilized world to stand. You see, NJ, Colorado, Vermont, Oregon, and DC have zero laws that restrict abortion. In all these jurisdictions, it is not illegal to abort a child right up until the moment of birth for any reason. This ruling allows that to stand as the wishes of the people and their elected representatives.
How is that a "religious" ruling?
Roe and Casey legalized abortion until "viability" in every US jurisdiction (and allowed states like NJ to put no restrictions). "Viability" is legally defined as 24 weeks but in actuality, children have been born at 21 weeks and survived and led healthy and normal lives.
No where in this ruling does it determine that abortion is "wrong". This ruling simply states that the right of privacy does not make abortion legal and should never have made it legal. Many far left legal scholars even agree that Rose/casey were judicial overreach.
Most of the wealthy, civilized world has 8-15 week restrictions on abortion. At 24 weeks (to birth in some states), US was a barbaric exception to the civilized world.
The next time you believe the "religious" BS argument, remember that this ruling allows NJ, Oregon, (and every other state) to perform abortion until the moment of birth. It simply states its up to the people in each state to decide.
Only a fool would believe that what this allows to stand in NJ and Oregon and Vermont and DC and Colorado is a "religious" decision.
Stop being a fool.
Opposing abortion isn't a religious stance.
@@memowilliam9889 The founding fathers put it in the very beginning of the first amendment of the bill of rights. I can understand conservatives missing it. They skim right past it to get the the second amendment!
@@llewis8537 ...
It does not say, “... separation of church and state.”
It says, “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...”
congress cannot favor one religious entity over another. It cannot create a state church such as Roman Catholicism or The Church of England.
it also goes on to say, “... or prohibiting the free exercise thereof”
Congress cannot prohibit religious expression. expression of religion means effecting culture around us too. It’s not just limited to singing songs in church on Sunday. the first amendment does not prohibit prayer in school, by a teacher, in a courthouse - by a judge, nor on the House floor in DC. Those are free expressions of religion, as part of a person’s culture.
This is what you’re trying to do. you want to limit the free expression of religion in every public place. This is not what the founding fathers intended. They intended that people would have the liberty to express their religious identity in every public forum. What they didn’t want was a state church deciding how (or where) others could worship.
Pro choice does not mean Anti-life. I am also pro life. I just think that the species, and the nation, will survive if individual people are given the right to choose.
I resent the anti-choice people calling themselves pro-life because those very same people support executions, so how dare they call themselves pro-life. Let's not use their double-speak, hypocritical language. They are *not* pro-life.

He doesn’t agree with that either. The only exception is him and his wife. Everyone else can go duck themselves.

Historically, interracial marriage is/was commonplace. It really wasn't until the Democrat party went full on racist did it become a problem. Thank them for the problem.
This is sickening. When I was a girl coming of age I felt fortunate to live in a nation that protected my privacy and personal life choices. I read a lot about the struggles of women in other parts of the world and I wished they had the same access to an education, healthcare, votings etc like I had here in the USA. I can’t believe that at my 36 years of age this is no longer true. I’ve never had an abortion and will never need one but this is not the point.
Did you support vaccine mandates? BTW Abortions are still legal.
China, and North Korea now are the only two countries that offer the "healthcare" you seek.
Maybe you should read the constitution. I see your a product of public schools. No where in the constitution does it state abortion is a right so it’s left to the states
Women have a right to do what they want with their body but they don't have a right to do what they want with the fetus which is a separate body. The fetus has its own blood type, it's own chromosomes, it's own unique DNA, it's own organs, etc. You may be supporting its growth in you but it is not your body. Just as you would foster the overall well-being of the child outside of your body you are doing the same to it inside your body. Therefore we must respect the dignity of the life for all humans are made in the image and likeness of God.
You can still have an abortion. You still have access. All your points are mute. I highly recommend what RvW overturning means, but, in simple terms... it's up to the state to decide on abortion. Now, read my last statement and interpret that, I'll give you a week. lol.
So a stillborn baby is worth saving instead of a women that could actually live? It’s cruel to force a women to care a already dead baby to full term, or a child a product of rape or incest, I do agree that people need to be more responsible when it comes to having a child, but people deserve a choice not all pregnancy is consensual. This anti-abortion ruling is just gonna lead to an increase in heath problems, such as suicide and depression and kids ending up in foster care without a family, because there isn’t enough children already there already.
All of what you mentioned will be allowed. Calm down Karen.
There's a very long list for parents looking to adopt. Our population is facing a huge shortage of children due to the millions of babies being murdered every year.
People are still ultimately responsible for their choices and not to depend on dear old doctor to take care of it. It's no one's fault when a person takes their own life than the person taking their own life....same goes with depression.
@@ThatCoolKidYouKnow say that to the 400k children in fostercare mister self righteous...
Here's the solution, if you don't want and abortion, don't get one.
Here’s another solution, if you don’t want a pregnancy, don’t have unsafe sex. Or any sex at all.
The Constitution Needs A Declared " Right To Privacy" Added.

Why, when legislation can guarantee privacy?

“An overwhelming majority believe abortion should be legal in most cases.” Really?? Let the voters decide and put that statement to the test.
Why are so many states banning abortion then, most of the states should allow it, the voters are showing they want abortion banned so it is not a majority that want abortion it's almost like 50/50
You people saying there's a majority seem awfully scared about letting each state vote on it.The fact of the matter is that you don't have the numbers you think y'all have.Abortion numbers have been dropping for years because a lot of young people have been more responsible than the last couple generations when it comes to unwanted pregnancies.We will see over the next few years what each states population want.We are an enormous country with vastly different values from region to region.
Life is overrated.
They are no better than the Ayatollahs in the middle east. Freedoms must be fought for, especially separation of Church and State. There was a good reason then and there is a good reason now to uphold it. I was raised Catholic, but this makes me ashamed to see the religious meddling so personally in the destinies of others.

Thomas literally wrote that SCOTUS should review those cases which address gay marriage, contraception, and even the legality of homosexuality.

He very conveniently skipped suggesting a review of Loving v Virginia, though. Since he has a personal stake in that one, and he wouldn't want anyone to tread on his rights, hypocrite that he is.

Will you still have your old job or have to go job hunting? Who will watch your baby? How will you pay for childcare ($400-1k a week)*?

Where was all this my body my choice with the vaccines? Honest question
There was *NEVER* a right to abortion to begin with. Ancient English law decreed that at the point a woman "quickened" (the point at which a child could be detected moving inside her) the child had the same legal protections as a born human. This included charging the murderer of the pregnant mother with double-homicide. Those ancient English laws are the basis of the English Common Law that informed the foundation of the American legal system. When the 14th Amendment was past, over 20 state laws banning abortion completely were on the books, and not a one was struck down because of its adoption. Most of those laws stayed on the books until the arrival of Roe vs. Wade.
A mind-boggling time in America (we now join El Salvador, Poland, and Nicaragua as the only countries without abortion rights). And that "we need to get rid of contraception law too" little pile of #@$% Judge Thomas and his wife definitely need to go!

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg was not a fan of Roe vs Wade reasoning. She said that say just the opposite, that Roe was a faulty decision. For Ginsburg, the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that affirmed a woman’s right to an abortion was too far-reaching and too sweeping, and it gave anti-abortion rights activists a very tangible target to rally against in the four decades since. Ginsburg also was troubled that the focus on Roe was on a right to privacy, rather than women’s rights.

@@riverrose5273 thank God
I am 36 years old and 14 weeks pregnant with my first child - a very wanted child that my husband and I tried for months to conceive. My first ultrasound to find the heartbeat (two weeks after the plus sign on the stick) was the morning after the decision leaked. And I cannot fathom the horror of being forced by law to go through all the trials and tribulations of pregnancy if it were against my will.
And remember, even if you "do the right things" like use contraception, stay healthy or wait until financial stability and marriage to get pregnant, THIS CAN STILL AFFECT YOU. Remember the cases in Poland and Ireland where women with wanted pregnancies had deadly complications and eventually died because the only treatment required an abortion of the pregnancy, which the doctors had to refuse until the baby's heart stopped beating first - which meant they had to wait to treat them until the women were beyond saving. Because with these abortion bans, even with exceptions "for the life of the mother", risking the woman's life by waiting to treat her is not as big a crime as ending a pregnancy before the fetus dies first, because only the latter is *murder*/s 🙄 and doctors will end up erring on the side of not going to jail, even if it kills women.
The moment you had sex, you are taking ALL the risk of pregnancy, having complications. But the good news is that now a days, with all the technologies the chances of dying because of pregnancy in a first world county is almost 0. And the facts in the USA support this. More than 90% of abortions in the US are performed on demand, used as birth control.
Fantastic! A person who is very happy to be bringing a child into the world but objective enough to have sound reasoning and compassion for someone in a different situation. Your child will be well guided in life, all the best to you!
I find your logic convenient. I want to understand something. Covid is a health AND safety issue, and PSA'S BY THE THOUSANDS to get a vaccine.
How come, with all the contraceptive devices, we dont get any PSA's on sexual responsibility.
I guess its because it is not a communicable disease.

Complications of pregnancy never require abortion. At most, a C-Section is the best procedure, because an abortion takes at least 24 hours to start (dilating the cervix or start the starvation of the unborn child through the aborticides which cut off its access to nutrients).
@@GreyWolfLeaderTW Ever hear of "partial birth abortion"? What you're describing as the "non-abortion" c-section - preterm surgical delivery long before viability - is in fact an abortion. In medicine, any intentional ending of pregnancy that causes the baby's death (whether in utero or not) is an abortion. In medical terms that abortive C-section is an "intact evacuation" - when it's done vaginally it's called "intact d&e". And if the baby is still alive when the head and/or torso emerges, that's "partial birth". You're pro-life and yet you seem to be fine with what is actually a partial birth abortion due to life-threatening complications 🤔 Care to reconcile that?
"Stripped away Constitutional rights...",so very sick of liberal MSMs opinions hammered at us as if antiabortion opinions are evil. Thanks Scotus for properly interpreting the Constitution.
I have never had an abortion, well over the age of conception, but I defend to the ground having a constitutional right, BUT, MORE IMPORTANTLY, having control over my own body regarding my reproductive organs, and NO ONE ELSE! I have always been an advocate of pro-choice. I do not know others circumstances, and, consequently, no judgments. I’m perplexed by all the hypocrisy regarding right to life, but no solution regarding once born, killing by degrees. I expect (fantasy) all the advocates of overturning Roe vs Wade to commit to resolving the care and funding for these lives forced into the systematic abuse.
Not every abortion is committed because of poverty. Most are done by people of money ie rich people, movie stars, politicians, mistresses, married women who just can't be bothered or just don't want to ruin their figures, young girls brought in by their older pedafiles.

Your ID is definitely a misnomer. The ruling did not outlaw abortion. It put the matter in the hands of the states. One state may limit abortion to cases of rape, incest, or if the mother's life is in imminent medical danger. The state next door may impose no gestational limits on an abortion. In all actuality there will be no change in policy in the states that have no such limits. As it is now up to each state. If anything Planned Parenthood can offer such transportation services paid for by donations made by persons such as yourself.
Hilarious. Companies are offering travel and abortion expenses for employees. But that wouldn't sound as dramatic and reactionary. But will they need a government mandated mask and vaccine?

Put it in the Constitution and be done with it.
Article V of the Constitution provides two ways to propose amendments to the document. Amendments may be proposed either by the Congress, through a joint resolution passed by a two-thirds vote, or by a convention called by Congress in response to applications from two-thirds of the state legislatures. With the current congress, this is never gonna happen. If the GOP gains control of the WH in 2024, there will be a nationwide ban. I can guarantee it.

Amendments to the constitution are difficult, but not impossible. We are the USA, we can do difficult things. We are WOMEN in the USA, we can definitely do difficult things. Time to revisit the ERA and include specific protections for abortion and other privacy rights.
Also time to revisit 1937 and FDR who started to move on legislation to reform the supreme court when the court was repeatedly blocking measures needed to help the nation recover from the Great Depression. Remember "a switch in time saved nine"? Just the fact that FDR was working on the legislation caused the court to back off on their attempt to eliminate the minimum wage.

"The difference between white and black females seemed to me an eminently satisfactory one. White females were ladies, said the sign maker, worthy of respect. And the quality that made ladyhood worthy?Softness, helplessness, and modesty--which I interpreted as a willingness to let others do their labor and their thinking. Colored females, on the other hand, were women--unworthy of respect, independent, and immodest."

Your only saying that cause it’s not the decision you like. Abortion isn’t banned. It’s just limited in a few states. You can’t vote out the Supreme Court
It is limited in 26 states; several states do not include allowances for rape or incest. For instance, check Arkansas. The state forces you to carry the baby of your rapist to term. Incest victims, same fate. Do you understand now? Who is the legislator who could write a bill like that? What kind of sub human piece of trash. This is pure ugly hatred of women. Beyond the pale.

The word “abortion” needs to be eliminated. THE MAJORITY of the population know that a right to choose is crucial to physical and mental health. When the nomenclature and rallying cries of intelligent and empathetic humans includes the word abortion, for example, saying, “Fight for Abortion Rights”, most people immediately, consciously or subconsciously, focus on the word and equate it with death when in reality, by protecting and cherishing each sovereign, living woman is the life-saver.
Eliminate the word to hide what abortion actually is?

You cannot argue with any religious zealots. They are convinced that only their way is the right way.
But you can name them and warn about their dèeds at home and abroad.
Well, there is nothing wrong with being pro-life while advocating for the unborn but there is something wrong with "advocating" for the unborn, using the term "pro-life" and not caring about their lives after they are born.
Pro-choice is not the same as pro-abortion. Pro-abortionist are people who believe in aborting regardless of the reason. Many people in pro-choice believes in a middle ground, exceptions. Others believe that exceptions should not be limited
Pro-choice just believes in the right to choose dispite public opinion as long as their choice is not out of malice or hateful intent.
They believe that Abortion shouldn't be the first resort, but it shouldn't be a illegal/prohibited option either. If there is a woman who have been horribly exploited but she wants to keep the baby, then she should keep her baby and she should not be discriminated against.
However, if there is another women with similar experience and simply can't handle it after she thought about it then she should not be discriminated either. It does not mean that she was evil or weak just because she choose to abort her baby. If she can't do it then she shouldn't be forced to. Most of pro-life shouldn't judge. They can't handle wearing a undesired mask in a pandemic for 9 seconds, but highly expect woman/children to carry an undesired baby from their abuser's for 9 months.
Also cases like Roe v Wade or Obergefell v Hodges, Brown v Board of Education and Griswold v Connecticut are not in the constitution. That's why they were in the Equal Protection Clause under groups of amendments. These are not rights because they may or may not offend God. These are rights because they protect people from others who believe that they are God!
I know that they are many good people who are pro-life and choice despite their beliefs. I admire pro-life when they don't believe in dictating the lives of others just because they can pick up the bible and read a few scriptures. I love them for that. However, I don't appreciate when others pretend to be "pro-life" when they are actually just pro-fetus/birth and call women/even children who abort b*tches, who*es, serial killers, and baby murders when they themselves are very hostile against women and children they don't even know nor have any idea what they been through. Instead of helping them through their time of need.
They want women who abort to be greatly prosecuted or executed... If they are unwilling to love women who abort the same way they love women who don't, then why are they calling themselves pro-life?
Edit: I have been thinking about this, but despite what I may personally believe. Everything is not black and white. They have all shades of grey areas that are usually ignored or dismissed as "another easy solution" compared to another. We shouldn't judge others if we haven't been in their shoes because they are many cases where pro-life were only pro-choice when it was convenient to them. In other words, other abortions are immortal except their own and then they still use the same pro-life rhetoric or tactics, which seems fine but it's not fine when religious abuse or harassment comes to play.
I totally agree.
Well said. I've always liked Bill Clinton's view: They should safe, legal and rare.
Honestly I'm hoping that American people will vote for more Democrats on midterm election, so they can turn the table and puts abortion rights back on.

This issue is a right to privacy in medical procedures matter, not just an abortion matter. This says that your private health matters can be invaded by someone that can deny you care, deny you coverage, deny you employment.

Honestly, I don't think anyone will see the beast they've awakened until it's too late, it's already too late. Women will not go back to the time they want us to without mobilization.

Neither is same sex marriage or interracial marriage or contraception and many other rights we all take for granted. This is only the beginning of what the court is going to overturn. Enjoy your rights while you can. They may be a thing of the past soon.
Nothing was rewritten, having abortion was never written in the constitution In the first place.
It seems inevitable that Contraception, gay marriage, and a series of laws intended to criminalize and target "gay sex," are on the chopping block.
You cannot focus on abortion and the life claims as somehow unique. Roe and Casey ultimately exist because SCOTUS determined that Rights such as Right to Privacy exist in the Constitution. This court says that determination and those derivative that began with Griswald do not exist in the Constitution.
Contraception, gay marriage, and other current rights, although factually different than Roe, rely on the foundational recognition of Right to Privacy as well. Their Constitutional underpinnings have vanished IN DOBBS. That seems quite intentional as Dobbs only asked to affirm the 15 week ban and SCOTUS went far beyond the case facts. That is activism. It is inconsistent with conservative judicial philosophy involving Stare Decisis. It reminds that Lochner and what came before was a very pro business anti worker activism and in 2022 a new form seems here for some time.
Whether states will actually ban contraception is not clear. Likely there will be a split. Gay marriage the same. In 2022 younger people might think SCOTUS as THEOCRATIC.
If you look at America before Griswald religious ideas played a much larger role in policy than today. Back then contraception was not thought of generally in terms of disease, health, and family planning as it is today. AIDS created a giant shift in awareness.
Back then the religious focus was coercing abstinence. Make the consequences of a an unwanted baby more likely and you deter fornication. Part of the deterence was the consequences. That drove support much more than the ever refining right to life movement. I expect that actual motivation will feel safe enough to show itself again. Big difference is the people who won are a shrinking part of the population.
I am not that concerned about a 'domino' affect. To put it in perspective, the 'pill' for women faced no legal challenged when it was introduced in the 60s, and no politician - and certainly no SCOTUS judge - tried to ban it. Condoms are comonplace, and hardly anyone bats an eyelash when someone buys one (in sharp contrast to when a woman seeks out an abortion). If gay marriage was 'given to the states' in the same manner that abortion will be, then there are some states where it will be allowed, just like before SCOTUS made gay marriage legal everywhere in the USA.

This reporting is disastrous from the first sentence. Nowhere in the constitution does it promise a woman's right to have an abortion. And the right to an abortion wasn't "stripped away", it was relegated back to each individual State to decide. We live in a democracy and the people of each state once again have the power to elect governors in their state to represent their values and govern accordingly. RvW was bad law back in 1973. Medicine and biology have come revealed how antiquated the law was. The SCOTUS is holding the country to the constitution and centering the nation after being misaligned on some social issues for decades, and generations. Have these reporters ever taken a civics class?
understanding civics is not equal to being against legalized abortion.
If poor Black women are the main women seeking an abortion the government s can easily remedy poverty. and use propaganda to support family values that should be taught at home and not by proxy.
the only way to do that would be to establish a universal basic income for all citizens, and we dont seem to be on the verge of doing this. That would take care of the 'poverty' issue, but the fact remains that not everyone is eager to become pregnant - or see their partner get pregnant - at any given time.
Focus on educating people not to have sex. Actions have consequeneces, people who support abortion are just finding an excuse to not take responsibility.

"The unborn" are a convenient group of people to advocate for. They never make demands of you; they are morally uncomplicated, unlike orphans, they don't need money, education, or childcare; they allow you to feel good about yourself without any work at creating or maintaining relationships; and when they are born, you can forget about them, because they cease to be unborn. It's almost as if, by being born, they have died to you. You can love the unborn and advocate for them without substantially challenging your own wealth, power, or privilege, without re-imagining social structures, apologizing, or making reparations to anyone. They are, in short, the perfect people to love if you want to claim you love Jesus but actually dislike people who breathe
I think that the next law should be men also being responsible for a woman being pregnant. If you made abortion illegal, supreme court, then men should bear the consequence as well. They should also be criminalized if their child was aborted. There should be more help for domestic violence and rape victims, not restricting ways that they can get out of a toxic relationship.
Women are the ones who gets all the blame and had to suffer. Even though we know very well that a woman can't be pregnant by herself if the man aren't involved.
It is because this world ruled by men that's why their are rules that exists to push women down, while a man can just brush off his responsibilities. It is sickening.
And why should men bear the consequence? That's dumb. Its the woman who made the choice and therefore it is HER fault.
@@mr.centrist5789 A woman can't made a choice to be pregnant, especially in rape cases. The baby was pushed into their bodies without their consent, and now people are saying they can't remove it? That's just madness. What if the girl were 11, what if she had her school life, her career, and her life ruined because a rapist forced her to be pregnant against her will?
Even in cases where both of them consented, a man still participate in their baby's conception. Sure we do need a law that allows men to have some says in abortion decision, but men should have some responsibilities as well.
These radical conservatives on SCOTUS embody the very reason why term limits need to be enacted retroactively. NO ONE in our three branches of government should EVER have a lifetime appointment, especially justices that wield more power than the President who appoints them.

The defense of the pro-life legal scholar was really weak -- the way Congress and state legislatures work, these issues will not get solved to the point that abortion isn't necessary; typical deflection tactic.

You are 100% responsible for the things you think, say and do, and if the results of your thoughts, words and deeds creates a life in this world, then you are still 100% responsible.
Yep, all those 14 year olds raped by their step fathers really should've thought twice before letting themselves be raped.
@@Zarincos killing a human life doesn’t expose the evil act that may have created it. It only covers up the act, and the most innocent life in such a case pays the ultimate price.
What does overcome the evil act involved, is choosing to love that child, to know and to walk the narrow path in this life, but to do that takes guts, and courage and the power for that comes from outside ourselves. But the result is strength and the privilege that comes with faith. That is what overcomes evil things in this world.
@@43Danc So you just said you think a 14 year old should risk her life by giving birth to the child of a rapist?
@@43Danc You realize that if they're going to cover it up, it's now just more dangerous? Instead of actual abortion medicine they're going to force the daughter to take whatever poison carries a high miscarriage rate. Even in the event that the rapist is caught, forcing a teenager to carry a child to term basically ruins their life, they will guaranteed mis a ton of school because of it, they're ostracized from their social groups, and their chances of having a good life are substantially diminished.
@@43Danc theres no hate like christian love huh? Fetuses are worth protecting but lets forget the literal child who was raped so we can force her to birth it!
IT WAS NOT AND NEVER HAS BEEN A RIGHT.
How many times does it need to be said to sink through those granite heads?
It also doesn’t have the word woman anywhere in it or the right to vote. African American men are 3/5 a person. Are we really going to stay stuck in the 18th century forever
but why would a pro-choice person embrace that 'fact'?
It was never the courts job to give a right to anyone in the first place.It was a conservative SCOTUS that reversed a horrible decision by a Conservative SCOTUS.
The conservative scholar lady said that us women need to get together and figure things out. She can get together with herself cuz I don't need anybody to get together with to know that I want the rights over my own body. If they want to have a little uterus club and tell each other what to do with each other's bodies go right ahead, but count me and millions of other women out.
By your "logic" child abuse needs to be legal because how dare the law tell you that you don't have the right to swing your arm and hit a child.. 'my body(arm), my choice' right? Oh wait, child abuse isn't about you doing something to/with your body.... neither is abortion...
@@mathildeyoung1823 you are conflating child abuse with Reproductive Rights of women. It is her body and she has the right to decide what Medical procedures are done to her body. Even a dead body has more rights than a woman. it is illegal to take organs or any part of a dead person unless you have written consent that they are a donor, even to save another person's life. Everybody needs to just mind their own uterus and let every woman have the privacy to decide what medical procedures she needs or wants done. It's none your body or your uterus. You can make decisions for your own body but you don't get to make it for anybody else.
This was the fireworks before the 4th of july .
