I doubt it will go this way, but I think it is a possibility we have to be prepared for...
If SCOTUS rules that the Government does have "control over a woman's body to make individual medical decisions" such that it can prevent her from getting an abortion, then that sets precedent that the Government has direct control over the medical procedures one undergoes.
That creates a trojan horse to allow forced vaccinations.
Those forced vaccinations, as we've known for a while now, by-and-large causes spontaneous abortions, miscarriages, and stillborn births.
So by sacrificing legalized abortion through 9 months, supported by us who dislike the abortion on demand rulings, they are able to shoe-horn in forced vaccination.
They can potentially use it to have their cake and eat it too.
That is possibly why higher courts are dismissing vaccine cases. They know what is coming over the horizon, and they can't have any legislation to interfere with the upcoming ruling of "the Government can make medical decisions for individuals for the good of others."
Is this something to look out for?
Thoughts?
On another note, my stance is this: abortion laws should be completely State-decided legislation. The Federal government can fuck right off.
If I had MY way, abortion would carry the same charges as murder.
But... banning abortion outright is just as bad as what we have now. The Federal government has too much power as it is, and this has ALWAYS overstepped their bounds.
Even entertaining the thought that the Federal government has a say in abortion law is a gross attack on our Constitutional Republic. The Federal government never should have had that power to begin with, so all this legislation on its face is uncouth, unfounded, and un-American.
States were designed by the Founding Fathers to have sole authority on how to govern their citizens, not the Federal government. The Federal government was only supposed to involve themselves with legislation that involves inter-State commerce and relations including Military efforts to ensure States that wanted to be in the Union would be protected.
Anything a State can decide and manage on their own should be off limits. States should be able to succeed and fail on their own; due to their own policies. Abortion policies always fail without Government intervention and funding. The only reason we still have abortion clinics nation-wide is because the Federal Government subsidizes them.
Cut the FED out of this crap and the abortion industry disappears nation-wide overnight.
It'd be fascinating if these cases somehow broke down the national division on abortion or at least regionalized it.
If the goal is to have us united, we either need to agree on a policy or come to respectfully accept state differences. So which of those endpoints do these cases land us at?
