The Unanimous declaration of the thirteen States of America, hold these truths to be self evident.

That all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are

LIFE, LIBERTy, and the Pursuit of Happiness.

This could get interesting.

Roe v Wade is a blatant violation of constitutional Rights.

To quote the Atty. Gen. at the end of the linked to article:

“It is a tremendous victory that the Alabama Supreme Court has affirmed the value of all life, including those of unborn children whose lives are among the most vulnerable of all,” he said.

He said it well.

God I am so lucky to be living in this state. I realize I am spoiled and have been blessed through a chance job opportunity that brought me here. I can’t even begin to appreciate what you blue state FReepers go through on a day to day basis fighting on the front lines dealing with the stench of liberalism. Just a shout out to say thanks for all you Blue State FReepers do. Praise the Lord

.
War Eagle!

Left AL in 1964 after George Wallace handed me my engineering degree.

You’re still a state with balls even after you changed from “Heart of Dixie” to that inane “Stars Fell on Alabama” license plate.

Shame on you!

This is how it’s going to be won. Roe v. Wade doesn’t need to be overturned. The recognition that unborn humans are ‘persons’ will simply make it an irrelevant null and void SCOTUS ruling of the past.

I’ve always heard one of the arguments in Roe v. Wade was that a woman’s body is hers to do what she wants with. So why is prostitution illegal?

I hope so. Alabama has definitely taken a step in the right direction.

I love these kind questions that challenge simple logic.

Kinda like the laws that outlaw guns so only criminals can have them.

I think this is a big step. From here it will certainly be challenged in the Federal courts and hopefully upheld there.

That would be overturning it, though.

Not formally. The ruling would still stand without ever having been directly challenged but it would be rendered irrelevant.

Because pressure groups and respectable mainstream opinion hasn’t brought judges around to declaring a right to it yet. I actually do believe in a right to prostitution, though localities can zone, license, and enforce health and safety as they do other businesses. There is your monopoly power over selling your services, your right to make a living, freedom of contract, the fact that you’re only doing what is without money changing hands perfectly legal. Unless it’s in public, but let’s focus on prostitution as such and not where it transpires.

Vices are not crimes. They lack the element of malum in se. The state has no business outlawing activities which only harms the person who chides to do it, if at all, or which is between consenting adults who come to do it voluntarily. No victim, no crime. Gambling, drugs, and sex are none of their damn business.

Not formally, okay, but a pocket veto is still a veto, you with me? Nevermind judicial procedure and legalese. If Roe no longer has force of law, if it loses stare decisis power, if cases are thenceforth decided along other lines and according to new precedent, then it will have been overturned.

IOWs basically what I said to begin with.
