[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm up with some lawyer friends over the weekend and a couple were saying that they feel this week to draft was overreaching for a reason. The final ruling will have more restrictions than roe but not as radical as the leaked version. 
The Republican talking point will be how reasonable Republicans are with balancing abortion rights and protecting the sanctity of life with a liberals will look like a bunch of unhinged people overreacting to something that wasn't even a final ruling. 
They will springboard off of that into other types of hysteria. They will pin on Democrats saying that they always overreact and we need the calm cool level heads of Republicans in office. Because look they're saving all of these babies while also respecting women. [/quote]

Predictable. But would at least affirm the rights of women to access healthcare. The status quo is imperfect in the sense that the scrutiny the Court has applied has not been strict enough in light of the fundamental rights of pregnant women.  The “compelling” state interests are not all that compelling in my view for many of the restrictions the court has placed on abortion access. But that’s better than erasing rights entirely.

Depends on how restrictive the new ruling is.

Are we getting into slippery slope? [/quote]
