[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If it was up to JD Vance, I wouldn't have a family because of IVF.
Walz:

“Democrats are investing in prenatal care. We're the ones that are for universal pre-K. We're the ones that are providing school meals. I'm not gonna back down one bit on this whole family values thing. We're making it more affordable to have children by having paid family and medical leave. Where is JD Vance's program?”

Damned straight, Tim.  This is why people like him & not the that freak, Vance. [/quote]

The fed gov is supposed to be protecting our borders and funding and training our military. That’s its number one priority.

How about we do both? It's not a small government.[/quote]

We don’t have the money to do both. The constitution says nothing about funding or investing in pre-k.

One in three families can’t afford basic school supplies for their kids. The economy stinks on ice. Why should the government take tax dollars to fund pre-k when taxpayers can’t afford school supplies?

The government has no mandate to fund so many things they are funding. Whatever personal challenges Walz or any other government official has faced, it’s their personal issue. Every single American has personal struggles and issues. The government should not be the answer to these personal issues and cannot be. The government cannot legislate personal issues. [b]Walz is not speaking about the issues government has a duty to address; he’s speaking about his private fertility issues and those have no intersection with government. [/b]

Dobbs had a helluva lot to do with a lot of people's reproductive decisions. Did you want people to be ashamed and afraid to talk about what impact federal legal decisions are having on their real, lived lives in that setting as well? [/quote]

The United States is made up of more than women of childbearing age who want to kill their unborn babies. There is absolutely nothing in the Constitution regarding abortion. [/quote]

There's certainly something about restrictions on interstate commerce, and the GOP is salivating on preventing women from trvelling across state lines to get necessary health care. That's your creepy VP Vance, right here: a "federal response to keep that from happening ... I'm pretty sympathetic to that, actually."

The Constitution makes no reference to abortion, and no such right is implicitly protected by any constitutional provision.[/quote]

There are many Constitutional scholars and advocates who say otherwise - here are a few of the arguments referencing the Constitution

Right to Privacy (14th Amendment - Due Process Clause)
Griswold v. Connecticut (1965): The Supreme Court recognized a constitutional "right to privacy" in marital relations, derived from the "penumbras" and "emanations" of other constitutional protections (1st, 3rd, 4th, and 9th Amendments). This right was extended to reproductive choices, including contraception.

Equal Protection Clause (14th Amendment)
Advocates argue that restricting access to abortion disproportionately affects women, particularly in terms of autonomy, health, and socioeconomic status. This can be seen as a violation of the Equal Protection Clause, which guarantees that no state shall "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws."
The argument posits that denying women the ability to control their reproductive lives entrenches gender inequality and hinders women's participation in society on an equal footing with men.

13th Amendment (Prohibition of Involuntary Servitude)
Some legal scholars argue that forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term against her will constitutes a form of involuntary servitude, which the 13th Amendment prohibits. This interpretation focuses on the physical, emotional, and economic burdens of forced pregnancy and childbirth.

9th Amendment (Unenumerated Rights)
The 9th Amendment asserts that the enumeration of certain rights in the Constitution does not mean that other rights do not exist. This has been used to argue that the right to make personal decisions, including the decision to have an abortion, is one of those unenumerated rights that the Constitution protects.

Personal Autonomy and Liberty Interests
The Constitution is interpreted to protect individual liberty and autonomy under the Due Process Clause. This broader principle can be seen as encompassing the right to make deeply personal decisions, including reproductive choices, free from unwarranted governmental intrusion.

First Amendment (Freedom of Religion and Belief)
Some arguments suggest that laws restricting abortion may violate the First Amendment by imposing particular religious beliefs about the beginning of life on everyone, thereby infringing on religious freedom.

The Constitution does grant Americans authentic rights to privacy, founded in the Fourth Amendment. This right protects us from unreasonable searches and seizures. Others enjoy this genuine right to privacy, including married couples, doctors and patients, attorneys and clients, people engaging in business transactions, and priests and penitents.

[color=red]For two hundred years in the United States, the right to abortion was never considered part of the Constitution.

When the 14th Amendment was established (an Amendment that allegedly protected abortion), abortion at any point during pregnancy was prohibited in three-quarters of the states.[/quote]
