[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The main point here, as the Justices have said, is that Congress needs to do its job and pass a law.  [/quote]

No, the point is that the right for a woman to choose to have an abortion (just like her decision to use birth control) is protected by the Constitution.[/quot

Uggg.  Yes. Just like the constitution protects free speech. But there are lots of state and local rules regarding speech. Here, the states have been testing Casey all over the map.  Some have put in place very restrictive rules.  A likely violation of Casey.  Others, like Virginia, allow abortion very late in pregnancy.  Also likely a violation of Casey.  So the Supremes are being asked to go ahead and let the each state decide for themselves.  To day “we are out— we aren’t legislators.”  That is what Mississippi wants.  The pro-choice position is seeking the court to reiterate that it has to be tied to viability.   But, that is because that is the only reasonable way to protect the constitutional rights of the woman AND the child.  But that can be done at the state level too and that is what the justices are grappling with.  [/quote]
