Reckon what Constitution they’re referring to?
The article author starts her article with a falsehood. There is no provision in the Constitution for abortion. Liars are usually prone to lie to support their beliefs.
"which will for the first time overturn a case that provides a constitutional right"
I thought the lurch toward political activism began with Earl Warren. Silly me.
Yes, which is the way it is supposed to be.
Agreed :)
There you go. The Constitution says nothing about abortion, therefore it becomes a state issue.
More Leftist projecting. They are the ones that try to undermine the Rule of Law but love to accuse us of that.
“...acting more like a political body than a judicial one.” Liberalism is a mental disorder. News flash to the brain dead at MSNBC: laws to defend the rights of infants are natural and not political.
Is the article about the unconstitutional medical vaccine mandate the SCOTUS allowed to stand?
“Nice nostrils.”
You should see them when Trump causes them to flair.
Liberals have no self-awareness or grasp of history. Not their fault, I guess. Once you get that stuff, you stop being liberal
Yes.
I am becoming very angry with the media in the way that it is portraying Roe v Wade. What we are in the middle of is political indoctrination that is trying to frame this court case for political purposes.
“....Its treatment of Texas’ abortion law and its looming decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, which will for the first time overturn a case that provides a constitutional right, is merely part of the court’s lurch toward political activism......”
Let’s go to the Supreme Court website to see just what Roe v. Wade says rather than get sucked into what the propaganda tells us it says.
https://supreme.justia.com/cases/federal/us/410/113/
Let’s read the summary or primary holding on the court website.
“.....Primary Holding
A person may choose to have an abortion until a fetus becomes viable, based on the right to privacy contained in the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. Viability means the ability to live outside the womb, which usually happens between 24 and 28 weeks after conception. .....”
The Supreme Court could say that the Texas law is consistent with Roe v. Wade in that Texas defines “viable” as having a heart beat based on new medical procedures and techniques. Or the Supreme Court could say that they are modifying Roe v. Wade to allow the State to determine the point in the pregnancy at which viability happens. Note the word “usually” in Roe v. Wade.
Such a decision is possible, but the press and progressives along with the abortion death lobby would scream that Roe v. Wade was over turned.
We need to familiarize ourselves with what Roe v. Wade really says, as the Supreme Court is doing that. Abortion is horrible. Those in Texas looked at the various court decisions and crafted a law that they thought would pass judicial muster.
Nobody in the media is saying the Roe v. Wade allows stated to prevent abortions after viability. Because the myth is that Roe v. Wade allows unlimited abortions across the nation for all. That myth needs to be exposed for the lie it is.
This is a group of justices that is probably sympathetic to changing the horrors of the abortion/murder lobby. However, the propaganda forces are lining up to outrage ignorant people that constitutional rights are being taken away, that abortion has been legalized in this country, even partial birth abortion. Abortion laws under Roe v. Wade are up to state legislatures past the point of viability, what ever that may mean.
I think that abortion is butchery of the unborn. I can not understand partial birth abortion as anything but murder and the harvesting of fetal organs should be a crime against humanity. I favor adoption. I favor fetal ultrasound imaging to be shown to women contemplating abortion.
I think that the Texas law has a good shot at being found to be “generally consistent” with Roe v. Wade and that is what has the death/abortion lobby so frightened. They know this and are trying to move the goal posts. That is what this article is trying to do and that is the talking point we need to point out to our friends and neighbors.
The Wide Latina...
LOL
Roe vs Wade decision was unconstitutional, and the 7 justices who affirmed the decision should have been impeached for violating their oath, to say nothing about the Constitution.
The Constitution is a short document, it gives specific powers to the Central Government, and everything else, unless specifically denied, belongs to the individual states. It’s all right there, written in plain English. But, you know how attorneys are, they always know better.
It's right next to the part that say's Liberal Marxist DemocRATS have a constitutional right to deny 2nd amendment "privileges" to the citizens of Amerika (spelling intended.)
Gee, you didn't get the memo? /s
Easy to spot the leftwing nut here.
The idiot author merely refuses to admit the court that wrote the Roe decision was a politically motivated court acting not on any Constitutional writ but on their own activism.
