[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Honestly, it's concerning.   I thought Roe v Wade was settled law.  Don't want to see the amazing advances for gay rights during my lifetime unwound.[/quote]

The Supreme Court does not make laws. They interpret them. That was exactly the issue with this case - there’s nothing in the constitution to say that you should always have the right to kill a baby growing inside you no matter what age it is. If you want laws, that needs to be done through congress. And that would involve agreeing on term limits etc, which democrats have generally refused to even discuss.

If we could discuss limits then I think there would be more than enough votes to support it. Most republicans support first term abortion.

Gay marriage or interracial marriage is different because it doesn’t involve a third party. Something like gay adoption might be different since that does involve a third party.[/quote]

Many gay couples want to have children and those children are a third party that might be seen as requiring protection. [/quote]
