This was not a 6-3 decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

It was a 5-4 decision to overturn Roe v Wade. It was a 6-3 decision to allow the Mississippi 15 week abortion ban to remain.
The Supreme Court announced they were taking the Mississippi case on Monday, September 20th, two days after Ginsburg died, to address only ONE question - can a state ban abortion prior to the age of viability. It did NOT grant the question about whether to overturn Roe v Wade.
Chief Justice Roberts has always argued that Roe V. Wade need not be overturned in order to allow states to restrict abortion prior to the age of viability - 24 - 28 weeks. He made it clear in the initial arguments in December that all we have to decide is whether we are going to allow a state to ban abortion before the age of viability. He wanted to uphold the Missippi law on that basis without overturning Roe v Wade.
He never got any takers. No other conservative justices went along with him. The leaked decision showed he did not have any takers at that point. Justice Roberts was angry with the leak and announced an investigation. The final decision written by Alito was revealed Friday and Roberts still had not convinced any conservative justices to join him. He still had no takers.

It's a pretty simple mistake to post it in the Lounge.

for some reason I only post in the lunge and never have an issue with it going to PnR.
If you really care about your post being read, post it where it will be.

I don't think this decision was about the "issue" at all.
Jun 27, 2022, 12:21 PM

This had nothing to do with abortion. It's a principled decision. The issue could be gay marriage, or ANY issue-driven right granted by the federal court in the past. If you read the 14th amendment Article I says...(I made a few words bold).
All persons born or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.
It's an important distinction they mentioned any STATE. No STATE can pass a law that abridges privileges and immunities of US citizens. And any STATE must ensure due process and not deny equal protection (within THAT STATE). This is key to understanding the court in this case. When the Supreme Court previously ruled abortion was a right, they deemed it as such unilaterally, federally, and universally. It was never a law passed by Congress. It wasn't an Amendment to the Constitution, it was merely a right granted by the Supreme Court. The Supreme Court is not, and never was intended, to be in the right- granting business. Congress does that, the Constitution does that, and states can do it if 3/4 agree to a Constitutional amendment.

The SCOTUS didn't ban abortion. They merely corrected the wrong of the previous decision.
The states however, are acting stupidly on their own accord. Be made what what your individual state is/isn't doing. Not the SCOTUS.

How would you define "personhood" and who is entitled to
Jun 27, 2022, 12:42 PM
[ in reply to I don't think this decision was about the "issue" at all. ] |

the protections of the 14th Amendment, if I understand your point.
Is the mother a person? Is she being denied life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as well as equal protection under the law by laws that restrict her ability to end a pregnancy prior to the age of viability(personhood?)?
Is a recently fertilized egg the beginning of "personhood" with the same obligations usurping the mothers protections?
Not really sure what your point was.

The SC didn't grant a "right" to abortion, they said that it falls under another right that the Constitution grants in "the right to privacy" as interpreted under the 14th amendment.

That's different than saying it's law because it feels good. I know you understand that difference.
Oh, and Roe didn't make up the "right to privacy," that was Griswold (although the idea stretched earlier).
