Ok you ignorant a-hole. What the fuk does pro-life mean, exactly?

Without that, your point isn't worth a shite.

Does the weight/validity of any poll that gauges sentiment about abortion necessary depend upon the question that is asked?

That's exactly what I said.

You're too ignorant to know how ignorant you are.

Well. If you ask the left, males don't even have a right to an opinion on the issue because it supposedly "doesn't affect them".

To which I say...…...even if I accept the "doesn't affect me" logic, on no fricking reasonable planet is it true politically that a person only has a right to an opinion on issues that DIRECTLY affect them.

If it did, then women are gonna have to start shutting up on a LOT of shite...…...which I don't anticipate happening any time soon.

You do realize that I have absolutely zero intention of playing your silly games and letting you troll me in circles for 20 pages, right?

You're a dishonest POS. You always are. You don't like that I point it out. I don't give a frick that you don't like it.

There. I saved us several pages.

No. The question should center on what rights does the unborn child have. The answer should include the right to not be destroyed by another.

we disagree over the governmental power to allow a human to destroy another human without allowing the pretext of protection of the victimized human's right to life
Not a question of fed govt "allowing" anything. Fed govt is limited and has only the powers granted in USConst. Question is whether anything in USConst authorizes Fed govt to play any role or prohibits a State from enacting its own laws.

PI clause n/a bc fetus not born and thus not a citizen. Equal protection clause not applicable. Due process clause would preclude a State from affirmatively depriving a "person" of life, liberty or property without due process, but State is not directly doing so be declining to criminalize woman's decision to abort. Could ARGUE that State could not FUND abortion as indirect deprivation (I think not, bc direct deprivation is all that is addressed).

I dislike your wording, but yes: the state mandating that the womans right to destroy the infant outweighs the right of the infant to be secure in its body without being destroyed by another IS DIRECT action, and is in effect sanctioning abortion.


Also, taxpayer funding. But that is obvious.

But states are govt actors that are subject to both federal authority to allow (decriminalize) abortion, as well as subject to mandatory federal regulation by way of judicial precedence. As well as restricted in their actions by the U.S. Constitution.

It's state government action that legislates the legal ability to get an abortion (therefore not be prosecuted for illegal abortion as it was for the most part pre-Roe), and the states derive their authority to allow abortion to stay legal by way of federal action, ultimately justification under the 14th A.

Twenty words or less (or more) what is the basis for it being a purely state issue?
Impossible.

We are supposed to have a federal system, with States making most laws. Fed govt powers limited to those set forth in USConst, which does not give fed govt any such role.

Two parallel analyses: What are the rights of the pregnant woman? Does an unborn fetus have any theoretical rights and (if so) when do they vest?

If woman is citizen, state cannot deprive her of PI under 14A of USConst. I see no federal privilege/right to abort in USConst, though SCOTUS created nontextual privacy right in Roe. (I am not saying we should NOT have a right to privacy ... only that no one wrote it into USConst). Thus, PI clause should not preclude a State from prohibiting abortion, but under Roe the law says otherwise at this time.

Fetus has no rights under PI clause bc not born and thus not yet a citizen.

Due process clause could be argued to say that State cannot deprive fetus of life, liberty or property (if fetus is a "person," which is topic for another thread) ... but the STATE is not directly depriving the fetus of anything by declining to criminalize a woman obtaining an abortion. The pregnant woman is undertaking such deprivation. 14A does not preclude action by a woman, only by the State. Clever argument that State FUNDING would violate due process clause, but a losing one probably.

Thus, any State should be able to preclude abortion ... or not. Nature of a federal system.

Roe is just wrong textually, even if I think ideologically that a woman SHOULD have right to abort (up to 12-16 weeks IMO). But that ideological view is a policy opinion re what legislation SHOULD say, not an analysis of what USConst actually SAYS.

Id say that given advancements in science/med/health, there's likely a case to at least revisit the viability issue. Captain Obvious here, I know
I do not see viability as playing role in PI analysis, because I am a textualist and "born means born."

I do not think it should play a role in due process analysis unless State is attemting to COMPEL deprivation of life. THEN viability perhaps has some role in determining personhood for pruposes of 14A

If it's a fundamental right, why not use the 9th Amendment instead of the 14th?

If WHAT is a "fundamental right?"

I assume you reference either "privacy" or "abortion."

No you don't. Genetically the baby is different dna than the mother or the father so it is a different person than them.

Genetic testing also proves it is human.

It is alive and that is why some evil doctors poison the baby for money.

So, no! You don't have science on your side.
