and once it returns to the states - and the social conservatives see how few states, through their elected legislative process, are going to outlaw abortion for adult women in the first trimester - those same voices will be looking for an activist SCOTUS to restrict states’ rights on the issue. I guarantee it.
I think we both agree that the pro-life movement is limited in what it can acomplish. Once Roe is overturned, only a few states will ban abortion outright. Just limiting abortion to the first trimester and giving parents some say in the decision, would take most of the wind out of the pro-life sails. It would not become a federal issue again.
The God-given, unalienable right to life will always be a federal issue.
Do you think the states should be able to legalize murder, under our founding documents?
Do you think a state can ban religious expression, political speech, peacable assembly, private property rights, the right to keep and bear arms, etc.?
Why would anyone place the right to live at a lower level than other rights? After all, without the right to life, no other liberty matters much.
