Roe Vs Wade Overturned

[Sociopathicsteelerfan]

Regardless of how you feel about the issue of abortion, I think the SCOTUS made the correct decision in regard as to their specific function. Tying Roe to the right to privacy guaranteed by the 14th amendment was always tenuous at best, really a house built on quicksand. Abortion is obviously not named as a right anywhere in the Constitution, hence it falls under the 10th amendment, which is anything not specifically delineated as under the auspices of the federal government falls to the individual states. The Dems had numerous chances, most recently under Obama, to codify Roe into federal law. In fact Obama campaigned on doing exactly that and once in office stated it was no longer a priority.

I say this as a person who has zero issue with the right to choose and as a person who is cognizant of the hardships this places on women who reside in states that will ban abortion. But SCOTUS made the correct interpretation of the Constitution in this matter. Now, if you want to push for federal codification of Roe, I'm right there with you, but this outrage over the decision is misplaced and based solely on emotion and not an accurate understanding of how our government works. The people in Congress who don't get this, or are being deliberately obtuse about it, are acting in ignorance or utterly bad faith and people are going to get hurt from their fomenting outrage and anger.
