Allowed? Everyone has an opinion, but, IMO the only one who actually should have the right to choose is the woman being affected by her decision.

That’s half baked

Polls asked people, do you support Roe v Wade? About 20% said....NO they do NOT. Thus, at least 75% said that they DO support Roe. That.s where I get my percentages.
.....Your #1 It doesn't matter how many can have babies. The question is about who agrees that Roe should be the law of the land. Both men and women and young people and older people can have that OPINION regardless of whether they can have babies. They are ENTITLED to an opinion. and I contend that the opinion of the minority 25% should not get their way over the opinion of the 75%. maybe I am talking APPLES and you are thinking ORANGES?
Your #2.........I was not mentioning "pro-life". I was talking about the about 20% that the poll said wanted to eliminate Roe as a precedent. I see this poll as saying that 20% of all Americans want to FORCE a pregnant woman TO HAVE A BABY AGAINST HER WILL. 80% of all Americans want the women to have the right to choose.
.........I see there to be 2 worlds .......one is a progressive freedom-loving FUTURE for WOMEN.
..........and the other world.......is a backward in history return of women to their former role as 2nd class citizens.
..........the 1st world accepts EVERYONE as EQUAL ....women equal to men in pay and all other things. The races as equal and accepts the changing numbers of whites versus non-whites
..........the other world prefers (and hopes) that things NEVER change. That whites are FOREVER seen as superior to non-whites and PAID more. That men are FOREVER seen as superior to women (and laws and other roadblocks will keep women down forever!)
.........One of these worlds is reality and one is a delusion!

Funny!!😅

Constitutional law is ABOVE my pay grade.....I admit. But, that does NOT negate what I said. That which needs changing WILL be changed (assuming a world where right prevails over wrong) (as in will the future be democracy or dictatorship?)
.......Everything evolves Humans evolve. Squirrels evolve. EVEN the US Constitution is NOT written in stone. It is NOT perfect. It WILL also EVOLVE! The US is NOT perfect (or even in the top 20 of the world's countries). Please don't let that burst your bubble about US perfection........or cause you to seek out knowledge from world lists of important factors and qualities. Just stay contented in your little bubble!

OK I can change. How about "The Disunited States of AmeriKa"?

Sorry, but a lot of folks do not understand what this is all about.
Folks, it has nothing to do with "women's rights." It's about STATES RIGHTS. The SC doesn't give a rat's @** about whether or not a woman wishes to use abortion as a means of birth control. The SC is looking at whether or not the SC via Roe/Wade had the authority to disregard States Rights regarding making laws.

Best, most truthful post so far. We all lived through those days.........except for those so UNFORTUNATE women that are NOT around today. Some people are taking us (the US) back to the future of 2nd class women (and other unfortunates).
........Meanwhile, Norway and Finland are way ahead of us on everything. Many countries have had WOMEN leaders. NOT the US......AKA the Misogynous States of America (MS of A) !!!!!!!!!

I'm not sure where you get your polls from, but the latest Gallup poll shows 49% favor abortion, and 47% are against it. Not what I would call a "large majority".

And looking at a poll for abortion after 16 weeks "When asked how they would feel if such a law were passed in their state, just over half of voters favor it (54%) while 41% are opposed.

"just take a ride" .......500 miles to somewhere else in the MS of A ......the Misogynistic States of America.

The states can pass laws, DUH. They can n to pass laws that are in opposition to Federal Laws. If there is no Federal Law and nothing in the constitution that the state law would violate, then the state can. pass what it wants.

I expect eventually we will see a Federal law codifying a woman's right to an abortion - soon.

Rape and murder are not the subject in question.
Abortion has been around for as long as humans. It isn't something new. Even in the wild animals will abort when there is need or when certain conditions arise that might make it difficult for the mother to feed or protect her soon to be newborn. Women don't make this decision lightly. It is trying to decide between two undesirable options and should never be trivialized. Only the mother to be should have the right to make the ultimate decision. Once made, she is going to need all the love and support family and friends can give. Either way, her life will be changed forevermore.

That was ssssssooooooo 222222222 EASY!........... Easy peasy, slightly greasy! Feel the breezy!

Humor drives the point home!

States' diversity would be a good thing........UP TO A POINT. Like salt is good, but too much salt is...yuck!
.........Think about TOO much diversity playing a role in 1861.

The states can also pass laws (Cannabis sales) that violates Federal Law. The Feds may not choose to enforce some laws.

Good post. And to piggyback.........today we have the US's GREATEST wealth disparity. And the MOST of ALL 1st world nations. Go US of A.........you are #1

I see the situation 180 degrees opposite. Rejecting Roe v Wade will have deep and harmful effects on WOMEN and all of US society and LAWS! Not to mention the next 2 elections.

The plastic coathangers of today may be easier on those needing an abortion than the old steel kind. I guess some would call that social progress after 55 years of Roe.

And the wealthiest "poor" people in the world

This one is ssssssooooo easy that it just about writes itself............not every poor person in the US owns or has access to an automobile. Maybe the good people of TV Land can arrange a loaner fleet for the NEEDY people?

Is that an offer?

Which is why they put in a process to AMEND the Constitution...

That's the 2nd time you've suggested this ridiculous notion...

It absolutely does have to do with women’s rights. What the court is deciding is whether women have a constitutional right to privacy which extends to a right to have an abortion. If women do have that constitutional right then the States cannot prohibit abortion. If they do not have the right then it is up to the States to decide. But the decision is whether or not the right exists in the constitution.

Repeating my point from earlier today, the last time a human rights decision was left up to the States it didn’t work out well.

Except they won't... Just another ridiculous fantasy on your part...

Except Planned Parenthood has the vast majority of their clinics in the inner city neighborhoods... 79% of their clinics are located within walking distance of African American or Hispanic neighborhoods... And they perform about 350K abortions/year...

False. You have absolutely nothing to back that up...

Bull...

Your words: "a PATHETIC stalling of the chance to put a highly qualified person on the court (Merrick Garland) during the Obama administration"...

You get to work on that...

Here's a "How To"...

U.S. Senate: Amending the Constitution.

What are the numbers? What % of women get abortions? How many are in states that will not ban it?

I agree with this post...

Yes, because that is sure to happen... Said no rational person ever...

And I'll wager you remember "being told" that someone died of a "coat hanger abortion"... Not that it actually happened...

42 states now have legal abortions. 8 states still have unenforced, pre-Roe abortion bans which "could" be enforced it Roe is overturned. Interestingly, Michigan & Wisconsin are two of them...

Every time I get my dress shirts back from the cleaners... :icon_wink:

He looked like "Number 2" from Austin Powers...

Most people have no idea what Roe v Wade actually says...

This event does NOT prove that vaccines are ineffective as some are trying to say. Vaccine effectiveness is BEYOND question at this point in medical experience. What this DOES prove is that no medical professional ever said that ANY VACCINE is 100% perfect at preventing disease. At this point caution and commonsense still need to be utilized. This is a VERY contagious disease that is still dangerous.
........It was NOT a good idea to even HAVE this event. A big crowd INDOORS, not wearing MASKS - someone HAD to catch the virus. Probably loud laughing spreads the virus droplets around more violently and the dinner lasted a long time. Therefore, more exposure than say a trip to Walmart.
.......The important take-away from this is be vaccinated and boosted and also AVOID indoor crowds. Africa and even parts of the US is having increasing Covid cases. There are 2 NEW variants of Omicron now in Africa. And China has an economic downturn because of Covid. So, the takeaway is .....don't knock the vaccines which are good, but NOT
perfect. And DO use common sense and older people should NOT stop wearing their masks indoors.

Irrelevant... As usual...
