The law in the USA which came from the case "Roe-v- Wade" in the 1973 grave women the right to have an abortion without government interference Prior to that abortion was illegal in some states or was only legal with government approval
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roe_v._Wade
Currently there is some other case going on in the US, which I know little about but depending on its outcome a leaked report suggest that "Roe-v- Wade" decision maybe revoked by the US Supreme Court.
That leaked report is what Bernie is so excited about
Well Bernie will be partying and has already posted on Socials his joy
The US Supreme Court has struck out Roe -v- Wade. Which means the States determine if abortion is legal.
Since the release of the decision about 10 hours ago. At least 14 States have banned abortion for any reason
The Ring Wing Stacked Supreme Court have voted 6 to 3 in favour of over turning. The same Supreme Court that has no problem with people concealing guns.
An incredibly sad day for women across the USA.
Well that’s not Politically correct to mention “women” anymore WP.
The correct term now is “Birthing Parent”.
Because apparently “they” they have previously told us that a “man” can have babies too.
If you take time to read the reasons the Supreme Court ruling then you will find why each judge that ruled on their reasons they found no constitutional right to abortion under the US constitution. By reading each ruling you can clearly see the reasons for the decision including dissenting views in relation to the constitution.
They all give a summation of why they either concur or dissent.
As you read you can clearly see which make the best explanations in terms of upholding constitutional freedoms.
As you said, these decisions return to the states to decide which is the exact same thing we have in Australia.
The people elect candidates that they want to govern in their state and bring in laws that the people want.
If you don’t like the laws of that state you can leave or lobby to get your preferred candidate elected and rally with likeminded people to do the same.
It’s called democratic process and IMO no one does it better than the US.
Now that the Supreme Court has overruled Roe v Wade, the people have been given back sovereignty and can choose to vote in the place they live candidates that will bring laws that align with their own personal convictions.
Personally, as a Christian I am against abortion. When I vote in this country I choose which candidates best aligns with all my personal opinions in my electorate. I think you would do the same when choosing your preferred candidate.
It’s the best form of democracy the people decide on laws which suit the majority in that state.
