[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m making myself read the damn thing and I don’t think I’ve ever been more disgusted.  Apparently women have no fundamental rights to bodily autonomy that are rooted in the country’s history.  Well. That sounds about right.

Expand the court.[/quote]

Also historians are pointing out that Alito’s main assumption is incorrect. In most states, abortion was legal before quickening. Deeply rooted in history. [/quote]

Well then, historians don’t know that the absence of criminal prohibitions is not the same as the presence of a deeply rooted right. If it were tuxedo Wednesdays would be a fundamental right[/quote]

No. He made a big deal that back before women could vote, most states criminalized abortion, and that somehow means there can never be a right to abortion ever. But most of those old laws punished abortion only after quickening, which means there was a recognized right before quickening. That was also the common law history. It wasn’t controversial.

Also, the correct analogy would be that having Tuxedo Wednesdays is none of the government’s business. [/quote]

On the tuxedo Wednesday thing, we agree: it is none of the government’s business in the same respect that abortion is none of the government’s business. In other words, there is no constitutional dimension to either[/quote]

DP. You have a right to tuxedo Wednesday. The government can’t stop you because the constitution enumerates the powers of the government. Not the rights of the people.  And the government can’t stop me from ending a pregnancy I don’t want. Someone show me where the constitution gives the government that power, because I’m not seeing it in this BS “opinion”

lol ok so you believe I have a constitutional right to tuxedo Wednesday? Ok bud[/quote]
