States have all rights not explicitly allocated to the Federal government.
Patrick says
It's nice that the Constitution is being respected.
States have all rights not explicitly allocated to the Federal government.
That's a thought - devolve all divisive issues to the respective states, and let them legislate accordingly. If you don't like the laws in your state, GTFO and pick another one more in line with your politics/morals/religion.

SCOTUS has no authority to invent new rights. Gay marriage was not rooted in the constitution or in precedence.
Nor was inter-racial marriage - not mentioned anywhere in the constitution

Marriage isn't mentioned in any Constitution, Federal or State. Government should have no authority over it, or any right to recognize it.
don't compare this to inter-racial marriage - clearly protected by the constitution

Marriage in any form is not protected by the constitution.
We'd be better off with a Federal government 1/10th its size. The Federal government is involved in a ton of things they have no right to be involved with.

Senator Braun of Indiana has a difference of onion especially since Interracial Marriage was not the law of the land until the passage of Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that legalized interracial marriage
Question: Would you apply that same basis to something like Loving v. Virginia, the Supreme Court case that legalized interracial marriage?
Answer: When it comes to the issues, you can't have it both ways. When you want that diversity to shine within our federal system, there are going to be rules and proceedings, they're going to be out of sync with maybe what other states would do. It's a beauty of the system, and that's where the differences among points of view in our 50 states ought to express themselves. And I'm not saying that rule wou...
Joe Biden Supported Constitutional Amendment To Overturn Roe v Wade And Allow States To Choose In 1982
You're just flinging crap at this point for the sake of arguing.
Now that we have had some time to celebrate the win, let’s analyze the situation. The Dems are pissed, but WHY are the Dems so angry about this ruling? Well many reasons, but its mostly about MONEY.
With the Supreme Court overturning Roe v. Wade, many States immediately cancelled all scheduled abortions, and shut down all Planned Parenthoods across the state. This will continue across every red state. This is a massive hit into campaign funding and slush money the DNC generates from Planned Parenthood.
Look at Planned Parenthood’s campaign donations. They are 100% to DNC candidates. The DNC are running their campaigns on the revenue from slaughtering babies.
They spent $45+ million on the 2020 elections alone. Every penny was given to Democrats.
The Democrat politicians are not concerned about “women’s rights”, they are upset because they just lost $20+ million in campaign funding per year.
In states like Maryland, non-physicians can perform abortions and receive no penalty for the death of an infant up to 28 days old.
The apologetic turn in feminism is at least a decade old but ramped up in the past couple of years. In the summer of 2020, the progressive zeitgeist abruptly shifted from #MeToo, which presented sexually abused young women as society’s great victims, to Black Lives Matter, and an insistence that no, actually racism was the most pressing concern.
Drudge wanted to use a photo of a twenty-one-week-old fetus reaching out from its mother’s womb to grasp the surgeon’s hand on his show. (The famous photo is called the “Hand of Hope” and can be seen here.) Fox said no.
Later, after Elaine declares herself madly in love with her latest beau, Jerry sees a chance for revenge. “And what is his stand on abortion?” he asks. Elaine is sure he’s pro-choice because “he’s just so good-looking,” but Jerry has gotten under her skin.
Cut to Elaine in the car with this guy. She assumes a faraway look. “I’m just thinking about this woman I know,” she says. “She got impregnated by her troglodytic half-brother and decided to have an abortion.” She turns her eyes hopefully to the hunk.
“You know,” he responds, “someday we’re gonna get enough people in the Supreme Court to change that law.”

Planned Parenthood was started as The Negro Project. Its founder was a racist who wanted to exterminate the black population. This is a well-documented, historical fact.

If you can’t admit that covid vaccine mandates violate medical privacy and bodily autonomy, then I cannot take you seriously on any other matter associated with these principles.
Because these principles matter to me. Not only when it’s convenient — all the time. They matter to me so much that I lost friends over them.
Would you give something up for your principles?

Now the right to obtain the procedure will depend on state law.
In a 6-3 decision, the court’s conservative majority struck down the 1973 case holding that states, rather than the federal government, are vested with authority to regulate women’s reproductive choices. As a result, states are free to restrict, and even outlaw, abortion. Since Roe and a subsequent 1992 abortion rights case, Planned Parenthood v. Casey were decided, women across the U.S. have maintained the right to obtain an abortion up until about 24 weeks of pregnancy.
Justice Samuel Alito wrote for the majority in the case, Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization.
The court’s about-face solidifies an immediate shift in reproductive options for women in states seeking to restrict access to legal abortion.
According to the pro-choice research institute, Guttmacher Institute, as of April this year, laws in 26 states stood to either limit access to legal abortion or fail to protect it in the event that Roe was overturned — 22 of which they say have constitutional amendments or laws in place making them certain to attempt bans.
Thirteen states adopted “trigger” laws prior to the court’s decision. The laws, more restrictive than Roe, ban abortion earlier in a woman’s pregnancy and are designed to take effect in the event that the court overturned the seminal case.
Under Roe, the high court held that personal privacy guaranteed by the Constitution's 14th Amendment Due Process Clause included a right to decide whether to give birth. That right, the court held, extended up until the unborn child became "viable" or capable of sustaining meaningful life outside of the womb.
The court’s decision to withdraw the right to abortion up until viability has been anticipated since the first week in May when a rare leak allowed Politico to obtain a draft of Alito’s majority opinion.
The highly charged and personal debate has also spilled over into the corporate sphere.
Both before and after the leak, dozens of U.S. companies affirmed or reaffirmed employee benefits that allow workers states with laws more restrictive than Roe to access abortion care. Those benefits include reimbursement for travel expenses incurred to obtain abortion care that is legally unavailable within an employee’s home state, as well as moving expenses for employees to relocate to states without limitations exceeding those under Roe.
More U.S. companies are expected to take a public position on the matter.
