Let me lay this out for you. We'll start from step 1: There are 3 branches of government.
The judicial branch does not care about your feelings, they do not care about the majority or the minority..thats all irrelevant to their purpose. As much as democrats think it's a political mechanism to push through what they favor its not. If laws are bad or good it's irrelevant. Good/popular laws can be unconstitutional and bad laws can be constitutional. Their job is to apply laws to the constitution. They arent here to make policy, they wrent to decide an issue, they aret here to decide whats right or wrong. Let me know where the confusion is?
It just so happens Roe is unconstitutional, but it's also terrible law. Again, you have to remove your feelings and look at it from a legal standpoint. But to your point...the democrats have deeply abused the law for financial gain. Thats why the keep pushing for more and more abortions, later and later, there is no care about rights. If they would have just said 13 weeks unless it's life threatening or some circumstance it wouldve probably been left alone. Again, democrats blocked over the counter birth control...is that not a right to you? It always amazes me that anytime R's do something it's because of a lobby or something but when it's a democrat, ppl just assume it's because it's altruistic and they have such a big heart. Lol you think chuck schumer cares if you shit a baby in a dumpster? Anyway..so the judicial branch kicks it back to the ppl, who used their right to vote, so states can decide. That's called democracy...you hate that now insurrectionists?
Now, step 2. Good news for you. Theres a process thats built in! There's this thing called the legislative branch. It's their job to make bills. Since Roe is unconstitutional, they can make a bill, pass it, then send it to the third branch, called the executive branch, who van send it back to the judicial branch. Extra good news for you: democrats control both of these! There's nothing or no one saying that an abortion law can't be constitutional...Roe just happens NOT to be. So ppl getting "rights" taken away is nonsense...they have the right but one party isn't interested in reasonable and common sense (you not interested in that talking point anymore?) Your legislative branch is keeping them from this "right".
Abortion hasn't been banned...are you under the impression the scotus is a monarchy over you?
For someone that talks as much as you did on this post, you couldn't be more wrong. You have never studied Constitutional law. I will break it down for you.
First, Roe was not a law that was determined to be unconstitutional. Roe was a Supreme Court case where the court decided that a woman had a constitutional right to decide if she wanted to end a pregnancy, up to a certain point. The Court was clear that what "that point" was is debatable. You keep saying Roe was unconstitutional. Roe was not a statute. It was a Supreme Court opinion determining that a Texas statute was unconstitutional. The Supreme Court today said that the former Supreme Court was wrong, and although we said it was a constitutional right in 1973, we have now changed our minds (different justices mind you) and we don't think that it is a woman's right to end a pregnancy.
ROE IS A SUPREME COURT DECISION AND IS NOT UNCONSTITUIONAL.
So where we are now is that each state can decide whether abortions, at any stage, given any conditions, are legal. Kentucky has already passed a law that says all abortions are illegal unless the mother needs it to save her own life. Rape, incest, none of that matters. If a 12 year old is raped by her uncle and becomes pregnant, it is a Class D
FELONY for a doctor to perform an abortion on her.
For you to say "rights" weren't taken away is completely inaccurate. In the Roe decision, the United States Supreme Court decided that women have a constitutional
RIGHT to have abortions (with certain state regulations concerning timing, etc.) The United States Supreme Court now says although we told you it was a "right", we have changed our minds and have now decided it is not a "right". So yesterday it was a right, today it is not, so it was taken away.
Anyone knowledgeable about Constitutional law should be concerned because once a partisan (either party) court starts taking away "rights" that have been determined in the past, no one knows where it ends and what other "rights" they will decide to take away.
Your comment about "if democrats would've just left alone the 13 week" issue it would have probably been left alone" is equally misplaced. The Court had before it a statute out of Mississippi that banned abortions after 15 weeks. Keep in mind, the Supreme Court is not supposed to be political. They decided a case today between 2 litigants, the State of Mississippi and Dobbs. The state of Mississippi said our law, banning abortions after 15 weeks is constitutional, Dobbs said it wasn't. That is really all the Court should have decided, that 15 weeks was a reasonable restriction on abortion. Neither political party was involved (at least not in litigating the case.) There was no reason for the Court to overturn Roe v. Wade when it could have said, Mississippi you win, your statute is good. But instead, the Court went against traditional history and precedent and said we are going to go further and eliminate a right that we previously said that people have.
While I doubt many, if any, of you have read the opinion, including concurrences and dissents, I have. It is long. But the most concerning thing in any of this is Justice Thomas' concurrence. He says clearly in his separate opinion that the Court should overrule cases that give us all the right to contraception, gay marriage and sex with someone of the same sex. If you are OK with the Supreme Court saying that we don't have those rights, celebrate, because Justice Thomas actually said clearly that those rights should not exist as constitutional rights. He curiously left out Loving v. Virginia which guarantees the right to interracial marriage.
To conclude, I don't like people that don't know what they are talking about "laying this out for me". You are wrong. I don't care about your political beliefs and whether we are on the same side. Just be correct when you decide to put someone in their place.
