Thanks to biden you can now officially loose fundamental constitutionally enshrined rights by seeking psychiatric help..

This is probably one of the most dangerous laws passed in my lifetime and remarkably both sides are ok with it.

Looks like my vacation was just extended to 4 weeks. I decided on the maldives

@freemo
You get to the knot of the problem. There are no objective criteria. Different criteria can be set up to serve different ends.
The protection of the fetus is a criteria in itself, that justifies control over people's lives.
If the well being of fetus was the issue, maternal health would be the priority, and that would go beyond pregnancy, it would justify providing free healthcare and other services for all. Institutions complicit with such high rates of maternal death, that normalize access to health restricted to those that can pay, only hypocritically care about the fetus.

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.

Happy solstice!
