US Politics Thread

What qualifications are looking for? I'm a retired nurse. I am female. I have never been in the awful situation of having to have an abortion. I'm sure for 99% of women it's a heart breaking decision for them, which some spend a lifetime regretting, but they did what they thought to the correct thing to do at that time In their life. I have every sympathy with them having had friends go through this and seen the emotional turmoil and toll it takes on them. I am nobodies moral arbitrator. But I do disagree with women who do to some degree use abortion as a form of contraception.
Life happens. If someone wants to have multiple abortions and are fine with that, why would your morals matter to that person?

Surely you would want the woman in the position to be able to have an abortion should she want one?
 
Funnily enough what about inter racial marriage?
I wonder where Roberts stands on that
You mean Thomas?
What exactly is the law that Roe v Wade made?
That there was an implied right to abortion in the constitution. And thus, any State that attempted to restrict abortion had to have a compelling state reason for doing so.

None. Roe v Wade was an interpretation of the Constitution. Dobbs suggests that interpretation was incorrect, because there is no direct reference in the Constitution (which is Federal) to abortion; hence, the States decide the law for themselves.

Hopefully this simple explanation helps you.
Yes, It was a false interpretation of the Constitution that invariably created federal law out of thin air. I'm sure you get that. But trust Foggy to play to the gallery. :)

Clearly, you understand this better than most. Why don't you go ahead and spell it out. Tell the folks here the truth you clearly know.

Go ahead, don't be that coward you always like accusing others of being.

State what's right about the decision, what's wrong about it ( You already did this by the way). And then reconcile it.

You can do this. I've got faith in you.

To be honest with you Alan I have never really thought about the issue of abortion that much. Its only reading this thread. Everybody has different standards and morals. What I think is wrong to someone else is perfectly acceptable. I was just giving my point of view and how I feel about it. I am.not going to change my opinion. I think it's wrong to have multiple abortions, or use them as a form of contraception.

It’s fine if you think it’s immoral or amoral. I can’t decide TBH. I think abortion probably can be and has been abused by some in a way that would make me uncomfortable morally. But what is at issue here is if the decision is a woman’s or the state’s, right?

Fair enough. I’m not trying to question your own morals either. Please accept my apologies if I have made you feel uncomfortable. That really wasn’t my intention.

I think, when I strip it down to basics, that my feeling on abortions are that it is up to the individual in each case. There will be a million different scenarios in play.

What should always be there though, for me, is the right for the woman to choose her own destiny, something which this ruling stops for a lot of American women.

It’s entirely possible to be against abortions personally while believing that in a free and democratic society people should be free to think differently and make their own choices.

It’s called “Pro-choice” not pro-abortion” for a reason.
