Big Blitz Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 The Supreme Court has voted to strike down the landmark Roe v. Wade decision, according to an initial draft majority opinion written by Justice Samuel Alito circulated inside the court and obtained by POLITICO. The draft opinion is a full-throated, unflinching repudiation of the 1973 decision which guaranteed federal constitutional protections of abortion rights and a subsequent 1992 decision – Planned Parenthood v. Casey – that largely maintained the right. "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start," Alito writes. "We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," he writes in the document, labeled as the "Opinion of the Court." "It is time to heed the Constitution and return the issue of abortion to the people's elected representatives." https://www.politico.com/news/2022/05/02/supreme-court-abortion-draft-opinion-00029473 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No “outlawing” abortion. Having the decision on it’s legality made by men and women who should have made it in the first place If abortion is so popular then what are you worried about ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stop wasting my time please. They have said it. The proposals have been in bills - some have been voted out - but that hasn't changed their intentions. Here was a back and forth with a pro infanticide legislator in VA: At a recent committee hearing, Republican state delegate Todd Gilbert asked Tran to clarify exactly how late in a pregnancy doctors would be able to perform abortions. Gilbert asked if a woman who was about to give birth could request an abortion under Tran's proposed bill. "She has physical signs that she is about to give birth. Would that be a point at which she could still request an abortion if she is so certified? She's dilating," Gilbert said. "Mr. Chairman, that would be a, you know, a decision that the doctor, the physician and the woman would make at this point," Tran responded. "I understand that. I'm asking if your bill allows that," Gilbert posed. "My bill would allow that, yes," she said. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/virginia-abortion-bill-proposed-by-kathy-tran-third-trimester-today-2019-01-30/ What all the bills changed was the language of already extreme Abortion rights states for 3rd trimester abortions from "only if the mothers life is at risk" to "if the mothers health is at risk." One doctor to sign off on that not three. And currently in California: "From the bill analysis, According to the author (Wicks): “AB 2223 protects reproductive freedom by clarifying that the Reproductive Privacy Act prohibits pregnancy criminalization, and creates a private right of action for people whose rights have been violated to seek accountability using civil courts. It would also remove outdated provisions requiring coroners to investigate certain pregnancy losses, and ensure that information collected about pregnancy loss is not used to target people through criminal or civil legal systems.” What kind of “tragic loss” is Wicks talking about in the “criminal prosecution of pregnancy outcomes?” These are the terms used in AB 2223 and by supporters to explain: pregnancy loss Reproductive health Reproductive justice reproductive rights pregnant person pregnancy outcomes self-managing an abortion https://californiaglobe.com/articles/infanticide-or-pregnancy-loss-abortion-bill-passes-assembly-judiciary-committee/ That abortion can be up to and after birth.

No state has or ever will in our lifetime pass an abortion law that says any woman can get an abortion no questions asked all the way up to the point of giving birth. It's ridiculous. The law also allows for abortion through all nine months of pregnancy when the mother’s life or health is at risk – which is completely unnecessary, as delivering a live baby via C-section is faster and safer than killing the baby in a two-day late-term abortion. Former abortionist Dr. Anthony Levatino explains in the video below "Third-trimester abortion will be allowed under the new law when a preborn child is diagnosed with a condition that will cause him or her to die at or shortly after birth. In addition, the new law removes protections for babies born alive after an abortion — meaning they could be left to die after birth — by rescinding a portion of NY’s public health law, seen below."

ALF Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 If it is overturned would mean abortion likely made illegal in Republican States , stay legal in Democrat States. When SC nominees were questioned by the Senate , the ones that said Roe/Wade is now set as precedent will be highly criticized. Personally I'm pro life by religious belief , but I don't impose my beliefs on others. It will may now be a States right issue if overturned. It will make a partisan country even more partisan. Changing the Senate confirmation vote for SC Justice from 60 to 51 votes does make a difference between partisan and non partisan demeaner. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoCal Deek Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 I’m curious what people think should happen to the two ‘journalists’ who broke this story. I’ve got to assume they are somehow connected to the legal world and may even be lawyers themselves. Should they have not understood the serious breach of trust that this leak represents and told the leaker to shred the document? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
