In Roe v Wade, the court used Griswold vs Connecticut, which was about right to privacy in one's own home and with their own body in relation to an old, moronic, Connecticut law that said people were NOT allowed to use contraceptives AT ALL... and then the court made a loooooong stretch to tie that into federal abortion via Roe v Wade.
However, overturning Roe v Wade has a slippery slope compenent that is already a possibility. Justice Thomas has already come out and said the court will be reviewing other rulings that were based off of Griswold v Connecticut.
THAT is NOT good, IMO.
I am an empathetic person and try to listen to and understand the great many sides to this topic. It's an incredibly polarizing topic.
Yeah, I share some of those same concerns. But, as I stated earlier Roe was on much shakier ground than other decisions, such as same sex marriage. I suppose the cases they accept for their next term will tell us something in this regard.
