American Democracy suffered a severe setback today.
🇳🇱
@Dreamer9177 It was a setback, but im not sure the setback is for democracy, since fair elections brought about this result. It is a setback for human rights for sure though.
@freemo I meant in the sense that rights are being taken away
@Dreamer9177 Yea I think thats kinda fair.
Though to be more accurate it really just means the states decide the rights rather than the federal government. So in the end this depends on how the states respond. Sadly I suspect a few will likely choose to take away peoples rights, others will likely preserve it. Lets hope few if any states abolish abortion all together.
@freemo sone states have codified Roe into their own constitutions. I agree that things should be more centered on the federal level.
@Dreamer9177 Yea, in this particular case I'd like to see it codified at the federal level, but in a very loose way (something like all states must allow for abortions up to 12 weeks after conception). Then let the finer details be up to the states.
