Leaked Supreme Court Decision signals majority set to overturn Roe v. Wade

[vulcanlogician]

Those who have read the draft will know that the express intent of the opinion is to democratize the issue by eliminating its dependence on the opinion of 9 unelected officials and return it to elected legislative bodies. In this particular case, it is difficult to argue that conservatives are the ones relying on antidemocratic means to secure their political goals.

At what level should the fundamental rights of a woman be decided?  Perhaps it should go down to the county level, or even the city level?

A constitution that allows the right to privacy, but that doesn't include the right to private medical choices about their own body?  That is B.S. .  The "originalists" on the court truly believe that if an idea wasn't part of the zeitgeist at the moment that the constitution was written, then it obviously wasn't meant to be a right.

The Religious Right hates "rights".  I have had discussions with conservative religious friends, and they literally believe that there can be no rights but what the majority allows.  They believe legislature must have supremacy over courts.

They hate the Constitution too. Though you'd never guess it the way they talk.

The Constitution says the president appoints justices. But conservatives basically ripped the constitution in half when it came time for Obama to appoint a justice. That's why we're here right now. I never want to hear a Republican praise the constitution again.
