[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]All every state needs to do is put abortion on the ballot like they did in Kansas.  [/quote]

That was the entire point of overturning Dobbs. Democrats like to turn it into the sky is falling because some wackadoo Republican disagrees personally with the procedure, but the point of overturning it federally was to let each state decide what they want. If all 50 states want to put it on the ballot- great. Again, that was the point.  [/quote]

Alternative facts.[/quote]

DP.  How so?  The PP is correct.  Roe v Wade wasn't "overturned" - it was sent to each state to decide.  Get a grip and face ACTUAL facts.[/quote]

[b]It was "settled law of the land"[/b] - it no longer is and now we have states policing whether women may travel out of state and they are declaring 11 year old girls who have been raped to be felons.  Those are the ACTUAL sick facts this nation is now facing.   Stop with your gaslighting.[/quote]

No, Roe was not “settled law of the land.” It was a legal precedent built upon a very shaky foundation and an exceptionally wide interpretation of the right to privacy.

Many people on the Right effectively worked over 50 years to exploit Roe’s legal weakness while many people on the Left, like you presumably, blindly thought it could never be overturned. Others on the Left, like Ginsburg, believed putting a right to abortion under the equal protection clause created a stronger legal foundation.

The bottom line is people on the Left will have to wait until the Supreme Court is more ideologically moderate or center-Left at some point in the future before Dobbs can be challenged. Hopefully, a future Court will do a better job to protect women than Blackmun did in 1973.[/quote]
