A fine time for the U. S. Supreme Court to decide to release this: The same day my family is in the Philippine Embassy in D. C. to activate their dual-citizenship, the historic Roe v. Wade got overturned while they're in the Union's very capital. (And they're scheduled to tour through the weekend.)
With the inevitable protests (which are thankfully peaceful-enough… for now, at least) & the anti-Asian attack-spike still not down, I can only hope and pray my only family here will be safe while I'm away from them during this volatile time.
As to the case itself, it's good that the issue is re-directed to the States, which have been the major definer of U. S. crimes in general. (The less Federal power the better!) The laws should reflect the sentiments of the local citizenry, given the great variety of thought, attitudes, and values of the people in each State.
My opposition to abortion as a conviction that the procedure is murder of another person endowed with human-rights comes from documented stance of the Messiah's Apostles as documented in the Διδαχὴ ("Didache"; "di-dah-KHĀ"; n.「Teachings」)/ Διδαχὴ Κυρίου διὰ τῶν δώδεκα ἀποστόλων τοῖς ἔθνεσιν (「Teachings of the Lord to through the Twelve Apostles to the Gentiles」), a common historical Jewish objection to the then-common Greco-Roman contraception-methods of aborting the unborn and/or allowing fathers to blamelessly kill any of their born underage-children at will with 0 moral, social, and/or legal consequence. Indeed, what makes an utterly-dependent unborn fetus any different from an equally-dependent born infant? The Romans saw no difference, but the Jews did. So why should we see things with way of influential Israel over the ways of ancient Greece & Rome, 2 great civilizations?
But, I also understand the other side's stance on unwanted birthing (already an agonizing process, even with consent) is… problematic, as well, given that women are also persons endowed with human-rights. Which person to prioritize?
Hence, I consider this thorny issue something for the citizenry of the individual States to define.
all the ruling did was overturn it at the federal level which means it's now up to each state to decide how to handle the matter. many deep blue states will likely remain pro-abortion with no restrictions. many deep red states will likely go pro-life with heavy restrictions. while the rest will likely go pro-choice with limited restrictions.
I believe sex is meant as a tool to help couples bond on a deeper level and not something to be used for casual hookups. but I'm not saying couples should have to wait until their married to start having sex. just consider waiting until they proclaim each other as their relationship partner before having unprotected sex. so if the result is pregnancy they have hopefully talked out what they plan to do about it.
I feel sick to my stomach. Women are no longer valued.
And if this is can be overturned and the court's sights are set on gay marriage and relationships next, then I will be stripped pf the right to love and marry my girlfriend.
My future outlook is not good.
Sad... woman rights are lost what how... are the right to vote is also taken back from women?

For me it sort of shows how some states are pretty much mini Irans, where religion comes first and democracy gets sidelined.
If you look at Oklahoma as a trigger state.

Extract from above, admittedly it’s a small poll but these things usually are.
A poll taken in December showed less than one-third of Oklahoma voters wanted a ban on all abortions and only Republicans were deeply divided on the question. The poll, taken by Amber Integrated of 500 registered Oklahoma voters, showed 31% would support a total ban on abortion if the U. S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade; 55% of the Oklahoma voters surveyed did not want a total ban and another 14% were unsure. Only 14% of Democratic voters and 12% of independents said they would favor a total ban on abortion if the 1973 ruling was tossed. On the Republican side, 48% of those voters surveyed said they would support a total ban, while 40% would not. Only 29% of women and 33% of men surveyed favored a total ban on abortion. unquote.
This ban makes it a nightmare for doctors to provide any form of assistance, for example a women diagnosed with cancer and needing cancer treatment, however she is pregnant and there is a risk to the foetus from the drugs, however the foetus gives no risk to the woman.
For a number of medical reasons where a foetus would have been aborted, then this can no longer happen.
Where medical professionals know the child once born will have major problems and expected to die in months or within 2 years etc, parents will have to go through with birth, knowing that for 2 years the vegetative child fed through tubes and waste via tubes will die and it’s suffering will end.
That’s 2 years where they cannot try for another baby, where there life is on hold, not forgetting the mental trauma and stress on marriage.
Yeah I guess witch trial will be coming back, Salem will be popular.
Whats next, gay rights for marriage, birth control, Plan b, morning after pills, Female genital mutilation..
For disclosure purposes, I'm morally pro-life and legally pro-choice.
Even though those who are strongly pro-life are happy right now with this decision, the only real winners are going to be those who are hard-core pro-abortionists, and not those who are "reasonably" pro-choice. The general public just doesn't realize that fact yet. The vast majority of abortions in this country already occur in the more liberal states of New York, Illinois, and California... and those 3 states, along with other more liberal states, are going to wind up legalizing late-term, third trimester abortions. Most of the more conservative states, other than Texas and a few other swing states, are sparsely populated and already have far less abortions than their liberal counterparts.
Then you're going to have liberal activists happily sponsoring and publicizing trips and protections for women to travel from more conservative states to more liberal states to have abortions.
For every fetus "legally" saved in Texas, about a dozen are going to be "legally" terminated in their third trimester. That's not pro-life or pro-choice. That's pro-abortion.
Meanwhile, the American government has no problem dropping tens and hundreds of thousands of bombs on "BROWN BABIES" and "BROWN CHILDREN" overseas in Northern Africa and the Middle East.
What's the death count in Afghanistan and Iraq ALONE at this point? This has nothing to do with the "sanctity of Life". They actually just want people to think twice about having sex in case of an "accident", because they're obsessed with OVERPOPULATION (which is a MYTH).

it goes back to the states to decide right... so people just travel if they have the means. I suspect it means we find more babies in trash cans, humans don't change very fast, maybe babies on door steps, and more suffering children under lousy parents. So budget for social problems. otherwise, it's good for some.
I'm very pro-choice and I live in a state with a trigger ban, so I'm doubly upset about it. Regardless of your view on abortion, the legal precedents set by row are the basis of so many other rights we enjoy. This is a very troubling time for our freedom and liberty in America.
Now it's up to the States of the USA to make their decision.
Good, it should be left for states to decide. There's nothing in US' constitution, even indirect, about abortion.
Well... I guess it is no longer Settled Law... abortion on demand was never a good "birth control" plan
I can't believe it's taken this long to over-turn Row. Naturally It's something to celebrate.
I just hope that the ridiculous ensuing violence that happens will be minimal.
We now need to work on over-turning the Same-Sex-Marriage decision
I didn't see that coming. Well I guess I have to stay single for now if I don't want kids.
If men got pregnant, you could bet your sweet ass there'd be absolutely NO prohibition against it. And all you "pro-lifers" know that's true.
Not trying to end up like David Dorn lol!
Why does me having or not having a child matter to politics?
You've got a "democracy" that's being ruled by a extremist minority.
It makes me sick that women have lost the right to their bodies
Oh yes
It's the beginning of the democrats plan to return to slavery, next steps are to ban all marrages in any format and start the genocides
Hopefully this will inspire libss to vote. We stayed home in 2016 and now its biting us in the ass.
That abortion is murder
