Roe Overturned?

[George K]

SCOTUS comments:

On the basis of elements such as these, appellant and some amici argue that the woman’s right is absolute and that she is entitled to terminate her pregnancy at whatever time, in whatever way, and for whatever reason she alone chooses. With this we do not agree. . .

This is not Dobbs. This is Blackmun's opinion in Roe.

In other words, the original language in Roe, otherwise held sacred by the left, allowed for restrictions on abortion. So how did Roe become in practice a writ for unlimited abortion on demand? The “exception” for the preservation of the life and health of the mother became the loophole through which abortion became virtually unlimited, as it is not difficult to find a doctor who will “find” that the “mental health” of a woman requires an abortion. (This is one reason why many European nations, which have stricter abortion regulations than the new Mississippi law will impose, require a second opinion before an abortion is granted outside the first 14 weeks.) It was a short step from this loophole to the 1992 Casey decision’s new but undefined “undue burden” standard that made Roe’s ambiguous language obsolete.

@George-K I would have thought that was well known.

Somehow, it never gets mentioned in the absolutist discussion on abortion. Besides, it was just a bunch of unelected old white men, which also never gets mentioned.

To summarize; Modern Leftists hate Christianity not because it is oppressive, but because they are...

Total estimated abortions for 1965-2018

black, non-Hispanic: 18,700,000 (42% of current population)

Total US black population 2020 41.6 million

Without abortion add 50% to the black population

Don't the dems understand those are votes?
