It really makes me wonder if anyone actually READ the draft. Alito is basically punting the issue to the states now.
What does this mean? It means hard right states are going to outright ban it. Right leaning states are going to heavily restrict it, left leaning states are likely to not change their laws and enact laws maintaining the status quo, and hard-left states are going to open the abortion floodgates and probably make it legal for women to kill their children as old as two years old (ok maybe not that extreme but you get my point)
So to the pro-lifers celebrating, you did get a big win. But the screeching leftists are just doing what they always do: screech. They don't think. Sure they're going to lose ground in the states they didn't have much headway anyway, but they can now stomp the gas in the states like California, Oregon, and New York.
Exactly this. SCOTUS ruling doesn't ban abortion, it simply correctly rules that abortion is not a constitutional right, therefore states can make laws banning or restricting it.
Funny to see NYC mayor Adams attacking the ruling. As if anyone thinks NYC will do anything but make post birth child murder legal.
Let the far left have abortions up to say 30 yrs old, or until the kid gets a job and moves outta the basement.
Clever
Yep, I hope Anons know this by now.
Use this to wake up a bunch of normies everywhere. More importantly, point out this is just a compromise. It it were as biased towards the right then there will be constitutional ban on abortion imposed on all states. We are no way near it, so this is a good compromise.
We understand. There’s more to be done. But the ruling would absolutely be a big win. It’s a huge move in the right direction.
The pro-life movement will never gain traction until we insert ourselves in schools like the perverts have done. If we can introduce the idea of life to little people (who already understand it; my toddlers recognize photos and models of preborn children as babies) then that will likely stick with them. It could be done without religion too: every person has unique DNA which starts when a person is conceived. Instead though, we are trying to legislate morality, which will never work. A woman who doesn't value life will not value it more because she cannot end it. Volunteering for a local pro-life organization is becoming increasingly frustrating as I watch them pat themselves on the backs for introducing legislation that restricts abortion after a heartbeat is detectable. Guess what tho...that baby with a heartbeat today is the same baby who didn't have a heartbeat yesterday. Instead of congratulating themselves for how good they are, WHY AREN'T THESE PEOPLE TRYING TO EDUCATE CHILDREN LIKE THE LEFT DOES?!?!?
Correct. It just bumps the decision back to the states, where it should be. I hope it removes the automatic federal funding for abortion, but I'm not sure it will do that. The federal sanctioning of abortion is power that was usurped by the federal government from the states. It is right that it should be returned to the states.
Left leaning states are already doing that.
Right leaning states can finally severely restrict or outlaw it.
Fewer babies will be murdered.
The big win is putting the process back in order. Creating laws from the Judicial bench was the crime. Empowering the Federal Government in areas not relegated by the Constitution is what is being repaired. The power belongs in the hands of the elected representatives in each State. It is a big win for the entire US. It isn't about banning abortions. Regardless of how you personally feel about abortions, it allows you to work within your own State to bring about the changes that you want.
Even hard left states are going to have to cheat like hell in the elections to get pro infanticide candidates elected.
