If it is not a person, why regulate it at all. What other medical procedures are denied by states?

The draft opinion does not support state mandated sterilization. Did you think this was a powerful rhetorical argument?

That being said, I hope this opinion is amended. I am tired of the culture wars. I value the American center and I feel that both “sides” would be well advised to resist stomping on hot button issues in this period of time that feels perilously fractious.
But allowing for carve outs defeats the whole purpose of “life begins at conception” doesn’t it? Either it’s a life or it isn’t. Doesn’t matter how it starts (rape, incest, etc).
Look. If that is your belief, don't ever get an abortion. Don't force your belief on me. Leave these decisions to the women making them.
Respectfully that’s not really a persuasive argument.

Not really. If Alito viewed the fetus as a person, he would have to ban abortion not leave it to the legislature. His argument is based on the absence of a constitutional right of the mother.
I will not tell a woman to carry a rape to term. For me that’s out of bounds.

I am a conservative as well.
I hope it stands. This is not a decision for SCOTUS and never has been. This is an issue that should be legislated.
I have heard many ask why 9 unelected people get to make decisions like this. Well, that is exactly what happened when Roe was decided. This court seems to be seeing the danger in the court making these decisions. Leave it to the legislature.
Well, I respect your view. I don’t think anyone seriously believes the Roe was based on any constitutional analysis - let alone sound analysis. I wish people could calmly proceed to their state legislatures ….. my fear is they cannot. Time will tell.

Why should legislatures or the supreme Court get to decide someone's basic human rights that are guaranteed to them in the Constitution?. I have a right to life myself. You know I am a person

Shine some sunlight on that whole racket.
Of course you think this. You are liberals. You believe that the decisions of the Supreme Court should be impacted by the mob. You think that the angry protests should make a difference in how the court decides cases.

Forcing someone to go through that experience, ignoring all other aspects of forced pregnancy and parenthood, is literal torture. It is traumatizing for many women who voluntarily give birth to healthy babies with a smooth delivery. It’s an immense amount of suffering.
Just wanted to point out that the handmaiden on the court, the middle finger to intelligent women everywhere, said pregnancy and childbirth are no big deal.
I completely agree with you. No one should have to undertake that unless they want it.

Not really but we should. It’s obviously another right wing hatchet job and they’re going to see if they can get some liberals killed in the bargain.
My money’s on the Thomases or ACB. She is in a literal cult and is arguably the least qualified/most crazy.
