I’m not saying it’s a flaw but simply that the framers of the Constitution were not omniscient.
Primary Holding
A person may choose to have an abortion until a fetus becomes viable, based on the right to privacy contained in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Viability means the ability to live outside the womb, which usually happens between 24 and 28 weeks after conception.
Casey
Primary Holding
A person retains the right to have an abortion, established by Roe v. Wade, but the state’s compelling interest in protecting the life of an unborn child means that it can ban an abortion of a viable fetus under any circumstances except when the health of the mother is at risk. Also, laws restricting abortion should be evaluated under an undue burden standard rather than a strict scrutiny analysis.
True, but the system has mechanisms that didn’t require them to be. That’s the genius of it.
The court just said, it is a state issue and is a policing power reserved to the states. Pro choice people need to suck it up and fight it on a state by state basis.
Damn…good answer
Confused? Allow me. Abortion is one thing, but you start taking away birth control or even threatening to in a world where people generally aren’t financially secure enough to have kids until their late twenties or early thirties (and don’t give a ■■■■ about religious prohibitions) and you will see a populist uprising that’s not going to involve red hats or Lipton tea.

I dont see it as being like weed. Legal Marijuana hasnt created this kind of a mobility issue.
I see it this way. A woman from Indiana travels twenty minutes to Illinois has an abortion. Indiana could pass a law that says an Indiana health care provider must report any indiana resident having an abortion. I could see Indiana legislators doing this…as laws similar to this have already been passed you know where people report doctors performing abortions…it becomes a HIPAA issue for sure.
Ive always been pro life personally, but its not my decision to make. I wish SCOTUS had left it alone.
You can’t pass laws overturning “her body her choice” and then claim “her body her choice” when it comes to the lack of these changes impacting the fathers.
You’re the one trying to have it both ways.
All child support must end now.
His hard earned money, his choice.

And GOP is being idiots IMO. If one thing that will snatch them from jaws of victory in Nov is this.
I predict they will fail to take the senate if they continue going down this path.
Yes you can bookmark this.

I disagree. People aren’t traveling to weed legal states to buy?
Crossing an imaginary line on a map doesn’t make the legal illegal?
Also with “assault rifle bans”, although that one actually is a right.
I think you are right. Bad timing for sure.
You clearly haven’t done many road trips with your weed in the car. You can go from totally legal to prison time right quick if you plan your route wrong.

How would they know?
Same with guns.
Libs sure are hyperventilating a lot lately. Especially when compared to a couple days ago when they were still trying to be all, “Duurrrrrrrhuurhurr! Why aren’t you cons celebrating more!?”

I’m not sure the court can do that.
I don’t think they could.
