"The fundamental flaw in Dubay's claim is that he fails to see that the state played no role in the conception or birth of the child in this case, or in the decisions that resulted in the birth of the child," Lawson wrote.

If this is true, then abortion laws are unconstitutional. I guess they can't see the hypocrisy in their stupid statements.

Hmmmm...

""The fundamental flaw in Roe v. Wade Dubay's claim is that he fails to see that the State played no role in the conception or birth of the child in this case, or in the decisions that resulted in the birth of the child, ergo the court can only conclude that the State has no jurisdiction here."

Leftists never “see the hypocrisy” unless it is a conservative who fails to live up to a standard of behavior.

The biggest mistake we conservatives make when attempting to reason with leftists is... well, attempting to reason with leftists.

Their thought patterns are backwards - they start with the desired result and work backwards to the issue in question, and then make their position statement. This is outcome oriented thinking.

Conservatives, on the other hand, start with the stated reason behind a position, like in this case “someone’s right to choose abortion”, and apply it logically to the whole issue. This is process oriented, logical thinking.

Logic doesn’t apply to outcome oriented thinking. The woman, being a victim of biology, must have complete say over the birth of the child, and the man must just comply with this choice, whether he would have chosen differently or not.
