Oklahoma Personhood Measure Struck Down By Supreme Court

The Oklahoma Supreme Court unanimously vetoed a ballot measure that would have given embryos full personhood rights on Monday, ruling it "clearly unconstitutional" because it would block a woman's legal right to have an abortion.

The personhood measure would give embryos the same legal rights as people from the moment of fertilization, which opponents say would ban abortion and complicate the legality of in vitro fertilization and many forms of birth control. Enacting such a law would violate the U.S. Supreme Court's 1992 decision in Planned Parenthood v. Casey, which allows states to pass some abortion restrictions but prevents them from overturning the constitutional right to end a pregnancy.

"The mandate of Casey is as binding on this Court today as it was twenty years ago," the Oklahoma Supreme Court wrote in its decision. "Initiative Petition No. 395 conflicts with Casey and is void on its face and it is hereby ordered stricken."

So a woman's right to abort the child is more important..

Of course it is. You can't try to circumvent the US Supreme Court. You will, obviously, lose.

Too bad you aren't pro-children...good thing there IS a war on children, huh

[BDBoop]

But we only care about that until they are born women, right.

But we only care about that until they are born women, right.

And you don't care at anytime.

Its was the oki supremes not the US supreme court wrong again.

This silly notion that there is a war on women is as retarded as it gets. Keep it up the majority of sane people see it for what it is just plan SHIT

 

[BDBoop]

Gracious, but it irks your tater when the SCOTUS decision is upheld by the State Court.

barf worthy and dumb

Wow.

 

[BDBoop]

Does that mean pregnant women would've gotten two votes?

I wonder. I also wonder if any corporations have been aborted. Maybe they aren't really babies; how would we know?

Read much? How about comprehension. They tried to circumvent Roe v Wade in OK, and their supreme court said no. You will not be doing an end run around the SCOTUS.

Better?

Project much? The US court hasn't chimmed in read much?

Its always a person never a cat or a gold fish,its take a cold dark heart to casually with glee kill millions of people every year and think its a good thing.

 

[Stephanie]

As it is now, if you murder a pregnant woman you can be charged with double homicide.

but this bill was so horrific because it wouldn't allow a woman to abort her own child?

something is twisted and sick

Fetus. Zygote. Embryo.

Not a person. It's the law. Women are entitled to manage their personal health and reproductive rights.

you all call it what ever it makes it easier for youto abort them..

no one want to take your alls rights to kill your own children...have at it..because for sure birth control is something you all feel is too expensive for you too.

 

[BDBoop]

Basic math here. If somebody can't afford birth control - cmon ... think it through ... how can they afford a baby.

What’s also important is the Oklahoma Supreme Court didn’t go out on any legal limbs or attempt to break new legal ground, Casey is bedrock, solid settled law: a state may not contrive an undue burden to a woman’s right to privacy, which means, thankfully, other states’ supreme courts will also follow this precedent with similar illegal legislation.

So a woman's right to abort the child is more important..

No, every American’s right to privacy is important. If you don’t want women to have abortions, address the issues that contribute to the practice, don’t attempt to ‘fix’ the problem by violating the Constitution.
