My thoughts on the overrulling of Roe v. Wade
Generally speaking I do think the overrulling was a bad idea **as is**. Ideally if we kept abortion protections at the federal level it should have never existed as a simple supreme court precedence. I would be all for overturning the supreme court ruling and instead replacing it with an actually amendment protecting abortions.
That said any such amendment I would also leave to be pretty loose. Namely I'd be ok with any bans/restrictions on abortions post 15 weeks conception but prior to that abortions should be strictly permitted. In addiction I'd make it a requirement that all abortions <15 weeks after contraception **must** be performed regardless if the person can pay for it up front or not. We would also need to make access to pregnancy tests free.
Since I dont see the above happening I cant in my right mind support the overturning of roe v wade, as much as I do prefer reducing federal laws and oversight... this one is just too close to a violation of natural rights to me.
> abortions at the federal level
this would likely require an amendment, which you can't get because too many people disagree.
@icedquinn Yup, as I explicitly stated this would need to be an amendment.
@icedquinn I wouldnt go that far. A judges job is (or at least should be) to interpret the law. The issue is they often go to far and go beyond mere interpretation.
@icedquinn Yes I agree, there is a problem there and both sides tend to exploit it when they can.
they're practically an unelected legislature body at this point via the precedent exploit.
