    So, too, abortion. A choice that's none of your business.

    The Constitution should be seen as protecting a woman's right to control her own reproduction.

    Women take heed, vote Republicans out while you still can

    Keep applauding the death of your party. Thankfully the GOP and boomers are finally almost gone.

    People in a society have a right to decide what is acceptable and not acceptable.

    I am guessing you mean Republican? They are not in power now.

    They won't exist much longer either. Thank God. Once the last of the boomers die off and now the SCOTUS speeding up their demise, there is hope America can finally continue to move forward as a society.

    **** the GOP

    It's also beyond an "appropriate role" for state governments because the Constitution is the supreme law of the land.

    In today's US of A, once it's born they will give it a toxic injection or several....

    It's not like this ruling by the SC wasn't known weeks ago and yet despite the leak indicating the end of Roe the needle continued to move in the favor of the GOP.

    That's gonna change once all these black babies are born. GOP has just killed themselves, they just don't realize it yet. And say goodbye to ever getting the majority of the Women vote.

    Women and black folks won't. Tell me, we're you alive the last time the GOP ever received the majority of the Women and minority vote? You certainly won't be now.

    So, is it your argument that the Democrats interest in maintaining Roe was/is to prevent all those black babies from being born? :)

    As a layman who has long socialized with lawyers, I accept that Roe was poorly reasoned and decided.

    As a layman who has studied the Constitution, I understand what the Ninth Amendment means and what the 14th Amendment means.

    Obviously abortion is an unpleasant subject, but many things in life are unpleasant. Over the years I've known a fair number of women who sought and obtained abortions. It is a woman's choice in my view.

    Overturning Roe has been a goal of many christians for many years. This morning I read on the internet that Trump has claimed responsibility for it being overturned.

    If the Ninth means what it says, women have a right to aborting the fetus, however unpleasant the topic may be.

    Just pointing out how easily you dismiss the 469,634 rapes that are committed in the United States.

    Sure it does. The woman still has a variety of options available to her to prevent getting pregnant. No one has infringed on her right to simply say no.

    No. It's about granting Women the freedom to their own bodies. But I get it. Rightists only support freedoms they agree with.
