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.
they're practically an unelected legislature body at this point via the precedent exploit.
@icedquinn Yes I agree, there is a problem there and both sides tend to exploit it when they can.
