The U.S. Supreme Court on Friday overturned its landmark decision Roe v. Wade that for nearly 50 years has secured women's federal right to obtain an abortion.

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.

I don't think abortion is good. But who cares at this point. Our society is way more fucked up than killing kids. Right?

It's not hard to avoid having kids. Had sex this morning and I can promise you the wife ain't pregnant. No rubber. No BC. No vasectomy. It's not hard, well it was at the time... ;) Going to attempt for round two here shortly.

I don't get why this is such an issue. You'll still be able to get an abortion in every state. The way the media hypes this is pure bull shit. Some states will be more strict, but abortion is not going away at all. It's like people cannot read or something. Whatever. This has always been a dumb topic to me. I'm not religious, but if you want to kill something go for it. See how you feel afterward if it wasn't rape. You made bad choices... That's on you and will fuck your mind up for life. You can have your choice, but your emotions will beat the fuck out of you as a woman if you abort just to not have a kid.

Many states had trigger laws effectively banning Abortion the moment the decision came down. Others, like Michigan, never repealed their pre-Roe anti-abortion laws.

Florida just minutes ago bans abortion after 15 weeks.

This is a great day not only for the end of No-Responsibility Jezebel Behavior, but for ending FEDERAL OVERREACH.

What isn't explicit in the Constitution is reserved to the States, or the People - and there's no explicit right to abortion in the Constitution nor is it based on ancient precedence.

Yeah I don't know what the Shit Libs are going on about. We all know that for the most part Abortion will roll on just like nothing has changed in most Liberal States.

I can't wait until Red State/ Blue State issues start happening. Like you get pregnant in a Red State, then travel to another state to get an abortion. Then that Red State will issue a warrant that if you ever come back you'll be arrested for murder. It will be a great mechanism for driving Shitlibs out of those states, for good.

I was reading that part of the decision this morning, I wonder if the guy is on the spectrum? He’s not wrong in his reasoning, I just don’t think people have huge concerns about contraception or even gay marriage.

My main takeaway was that, yes, it is screwed up when the court legislates by find new rights under the 14th, but they really just want to fix the mistake of roe because it has remained such a divisive issue even after 50 years.

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.

It's an issue. The court had no right to impose Gary Marriage at the federal level. Why wait 50 years?

SCOTUS has no authority to invent new rights. Gay marriage was not rooted in the constitution or in precedence.

California couldn't pass it by referendum, yet it was imposed on the whole country by judicial fiat without a shed of precedence in all Common Law history

Immediately the cultural war, a real thing that exists to destroy natural relationships and order, pivoted to drag queens and gender bending. It now demands prepubescent surgery and drugs in the power of teachers and social justice workers over the parents.

Marriage is an exclusively religious institution, it shouldn't even be recognized by the state.

The state should only recognize contract law.

Marriage, from the point of the state, should be limited to a contract to create and raise children. There should be no economic benefits or deterrents to doing this but it's well beyond this, it's now inheritance rights, visitation rights, and power of attorney. Any person should be able to go into those agreements with anybody they wish, their brother, their child, their friend.

The government just fucks everything up in my opinion. Get them out of marriage, and that will fix a lot of shit in my opinion.

States and localties have always regulated marriage. At some point its necessary, for example between two agnostic people or to determine who can visit in historians or execute wills/ inherit.

The family is the basic building block of society. Powerful actors prefer atomized individuals to bully
23   Ceffer   2022 Jun 24, 12:04pm  

Marriage is the ultimate "You fuck 'em, you bought 'em" social contract. Maybe in some instances "You gonna fuck 'em, you bought 'em unseen, sucker." Being brought to ground is the great peril of being attached to the 'dumb stick'. It's also why women celebrate marriage so intently as getting a big game trophy head on their wall.

This decision will reshape American politics. Bad day for the corporatists and Wall Street crowd who told working class & social conservatives for years to shut up and go along with their policies if they wanted the chance to overturn Roe. That leverage is gone. - Josh Hawley

The RINOs just lost social con leverage. Everybody knows they lie on immigration .

No, they have not, and thankfully are not just recently. The state of Alabama does not regulate marriage any longer, as they do not issue or require marriage licenses for issuance and recording of a marriage certificate.

All that is needed for marriage associated legal proceedings is the public recording of some sort of marriage certificate between the two individuals. This is a big win for liberty minded individuals.
28   AmericanKulak   2022 Jun 24, 1:21pm  

Yes they have. Throughout the history of common law, They've defined marriage. Even down to making a widow who wanted to remarry ride backwards on an ass to keep her widows portion.

Libertarian wishes can be tried on Ganymede when everybody knows what they're signing up for. Every colonial government regulated marriage and attendant inheritance, widowhood, p
Orphan support, etc.

Civil courts can't avoid ruling on marriage. Example: two 14 year old wanting to elope. Somebody wanting 3 wives, and then maybe applying for welfare.

Nor was inter-racial marriage - not mentioned anywhere in the constitution


You're just flinging crap at this point for the sake of arguing. It says it's between a man and a woman, that means no gay shit but black and white ok. So yes the court has zero authority to redefine marriage. If someone wants to change that they need to introduce constitutional amendments which need 2/3 and 3/4 of votes and thus are hard to pass for good reasons.

I’m in favor of a female having access to an abortion, but I am constantly amazed at how few women use contraception.

Marriage isn't mentioned in any Constitution, Federal or State. Government should have no authority over it, or any right to recognize it.
