Just to be clear, your arguments were; A. States should have the right to ban abortion B. Florida, A STATE, did not have the right to interpret the election results as they saw fit

The difference is, you only care about states rights when it works to your favor.

I seriously doubt Mr. Madison would have countered the argument that there is no “right” for a woman to slaughter her unborn child.

Would your argument be that you have a constitutional right to murder someone? After all, there is nothing specific in the constitution that outlaws murder. The Declaration of Independence says that some rights are “endowed by our creator.” Among those is the “right to life.” When were we created? When we exited the womb or when we were conceived? Clearly, the biologically correct answer is the latter.

The error of many is that the ninth amendment allows us to create rights since it clearly says that we do have other rights not listed in the constitution. The flaw in logic is that when one right is created via the ninth amendment, another right can be derived from this newly created right. Such was the case of Roe. Prior to Roe, the court created a right to privacy. Then, with Roe, the court expanded the right to privacy and created a right to an abortion. Based on that logic, you can create a right to anything.

The problem with Roe is that it was originally argued from a scientific point of view. During that time, the science was not there to prove that the unborn child was, in fact, a human being. Now, Roe has become a political argument. Unfortunately, liberals are able to advance political arguments because political arguments can be based on emotion. And we all know liberals are queens of emotion.

Nonetheless, if the science of today existed then, Roe would have been blown out of the water.

However, in keeping with the original point of the thread – What happens if Roe is overturned? It becomes a states’ rights issue. Big deal!

God forbid, liberals let the people decide.

Have we really come to name calling on here? Give me a break; Lester is just voicing his opinion. Justin you need to grow up. You all also need to realize that not everyone is going to agree with everything on here and it's nice to hear other opinions. Keep up the good work Lester.

The rich, well connected would continue to have access to this procedure in clean, sterile, "don't look here, nothing going on" type facilities, while the poor and unconnected would be subject to "bathtub gin abortions". The type that could kill or maim both mother and unborn.

That is all you would gain from overturning RvW.

So true I had to repeat it. I feel every woman has to make her own choice of what is right for her. There has always been abortions and always will be abortions legal or not.

Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.

What right does a MAN have to tell a WOMAN what to do with her body? Other than Lester, how many men here have carried a child, in his womb, full term? I have my own opinions about Abortion, but since I am a Man, then I'll keep those opinions to myself.
