2. What you said is true, but I believe there was motive behind it. Why even mess with it if there wasn't? Federal government is staying out of it, but by doing so they are SEVERLY limiting a woman's right to an abortion and making it illegal for over half the Woman in the US. That is purposeful. If you think this is "giving people more power" then I just straight up disagree with that. Rights that were protected by the government are now not.
3. I personally disagree with the decision. I have struggled with whether I am pro life or pro choice my entire life (and am still unsure to be honest) but the effects of this are going to be devastating. Woman who are raped or unable to provide or care for a child will be unable to have an abortion. Crime rates will sky rocket. Mental health and families will deteriorate.
It's a big deal.
Your first part of #3 is exactly the same reason why lawmakers haven't touched it in 50 years. They would rather not deal with it. They had plenty of time to get it a permanent home in the constitution. It shouldn't have been left a supreme court decision if it really was a "right".
being "unable to provide care" for a child....in my opinion is not a good reason for an abortion. Give the kid a fighting chance in this world.
Times are different now....birth control is much more accessible now than it was 50 years ago. Why are we expected to be more responsible with our diets, the environment, how we treat each other...but when it comes to our reproductive organs, we'd rather have laws enabling us to be LESS responsible? It's silly.
I don't think abortion should be outlawed....i think the best compromise is Texas' heartbeat law in most cases. Though i'm not sure if it'll stay now..
