Where in the US Constitution are citizens given the “rights” to abortion?

SCOTUS told us it was a federal right via the Roe Opinion.

SCOTUS then told us years later that no, in fact it is not a federal right.

I have nothing against Taylor Swift and nothing against (other people) liking her music. Her endorsement was measured and suggested others do their own research.
I just don’t live in the same world as a mega rich Hollywood type star and any opinion they might have of how we should live has nothing to do with me.

Excellent take on your part. Cheers.

[WuWei]

It was good.

I agree with all but this:

and nothing against (other people) liking her music.

Are you english?

Great post.

Roe was bad law.

Was it a law? Or was it a ruling? In my opinion, Roe should have spurred Congress and the President to pass a law codifying it into law, so that the SCOTUS could not overturn it later on. The Democrats failed in this regard, too sure that precedent mattered. As we can see, it does not anymore.

It was so bad, the SCOTUS redecided. You know it was bad when they reverse stare decisis.

Which is why they should have always sought to codify Roe, when Obama was sworn in they had the numbers to do it but they failed to, wanting to spend that capital in other places. That was their mistake then and you can see what havoc it brought. The GOP has always intended to have Roe overturned, the Dems refused to believe it could happen but it did all the same.

[WuWei]

An option. Why do you think they didn’t?

[toreyj01]

@WuWei

An option. Why do you think they didn’t?

It would have forced Democrats who were in swing districts or red states to vote on it, and then they would have had to own it. They were feckless and content with hoping precedent held, but the writing was on the wall. Its protections were not solid, there were several rulings over the years that suggested that given the appropriate Court, it may be overturned.

Now, the GOP also screwed up because they had a very good thing going. Always complain about Roe and never do anything about it either. Guarantees you the Evangelical vote, which they have profited from immensely. Now, with it overturned, they are facing the consequences while the Democrats, who also did nothing, are taking every advantage they can.

It was a decision.

Maybe they knew it wouldn’t pass.

But he won’t and has championed the individual states citizens rights to vote for their own abortion laws. Why is this so difficult to grasp. Trump has also stated several times if elected POTUS, if Congress brings a
“Federal Abortion Bill” he will veto it.

They know that but choose the dishonest campaign propaganda.
