So conservatives aren’t chomping at the bit to pass the most stringent of abortion laws? It’s about politics, not the constitution

No, you're not. You're being purposefully obtuse because you are either unwilling or unable to discuss the topic at hand.

Sounds like you need to see this just like TBoy.

I'm pretty sure these type of laws won't pass a Constitutional test - but it's a lot of bullshite

Sounds like a damn good reason to amend the constitution, does it not?

Should be easily done, since this country is very progressive and the rethuglican conservatives are just a handful of bible thumping inbred idiots in a few southern states.

Even if Tboy read it twice and had a panel of the most respected legal minds in the country chaired by Alan Dershowitz himself to explain it to him he still wouldn’t understand it.

They might be but it is a state's rights issue. We do still live in a federalist system the last I checked.

Why do so many of you want to be governed so hard by the clowns in DC?

Sorry, but this current decision says that the rights conferred on the people, who have no rights otherwise, are fixed at the time the document was drafted. Unborn people had no rights as a person.

So under this decision, no, fetuses haven’t no such rights.

No, I am discussing whether Americans have any rights that are protected by the Constitution that are not specifically listed by the Constitution.

Do you believe there are and should be limits on constitutional rights?

Yes or no will suffice.

Well, the termination of a late term pregnancy might have gotten you convicted of murder. But not early term pregnancy.

Shouldn't you be working on getting your very popular, uncontroversial except those stupid bigoted conservatives, abortion amendment passed?

Your side has the political will and support of the majority of the people to get this done, right?

Or is this issue (d)ifferent?

There are currently limits on Constitutional rights and yes, there should be limits on specific cases.

Does consensual sex between adults need to codified as a right at the federal level?


Damn you people. If it’s not a federal constitutional right then it’s states issue. If the state decided it was unconstitutional at a state level then yes it would be against the law.


Now do marriage.

So then states limiting abortions to what they feel is acceptable is ok in your book, right?

Since there should be limits on Constitutional rights, according to you.

Assuming there should be limit, how else to reconcile it with the Ninth Amendment’s statement that non-enumerated powers exist if not by persuasive argumentation about what non-enumerated powers might exist and letting the justices decide?

I can live with yesterday’s opinion because the process played out like it’s supposed to. Arguments are made and the justices voted on which arguments they agreed with. Those of us who disagree will just have to move on and make our voices heard in the next election. But don’t tell me that the Constitution doesn’t grant the Court the ability to decide these matter.

If it was about abortion why is abortion still legal in the vast majority of states?
