In the USA it's a states rights issue, and that's what it is now. Every state can decide what the people of that state want. If the majority say 'no abortion' then that's what it is. If the majority say 'yes abortion' then that's what it is. Abortion is a medical procedure in which one human stops another humans heart from beating. (which the law says about born people is homicide). Medical procedures are not covered in the US Constitution and therefore each state decides for their own state ... as it should be.
Oh how I agree!
Roe v Wade as a 'precedent' was a shameful dereliction of our legislator's duty. And the fact that its reversal caused so much uproar against the court was a shameful activist stratagem. One which the press and media should be immensely embarrassed about. They knew that Roe v. Wade was never "law." They knew that legislators had "kicked the can down the road" for their own political convenience - and the court had been left no choice but to make a ruling - for the sake of political theater. But the fantasy of the "abortion rights" trope was "sold" to the public anyway. Journalist "activism" anyone?
I try not to expound on my own predilections and opinions about the matter, because I think whether it is morally right or wrong is entirely beside the point that it has been monumentally mishandled and allowed to be the subject of theatrical endeavors by activists, the ideologically motivated, and "commerce." Expecting resolution of this matter by the clown-show is self-defeating... they just want this show to continue... with legislators claiming no responsibility for the one thing they are there to do. Make a case and vote on it as your constituency demands... we call it "democracy" ... just do it.
