8. It's not in the Constitution: don't make it up.
"'Mississippi compellingly argues that contrary to the Supreme Courtās decision in Roe v. Wade, nothing in the Constitutionās text, structure, history, or tradition supports a constitutional right to abortion. As a result, Mississippi has just as much authority to legislate on abortion policy as other subjects, and the prohibition of abortion after 15 weeks ought to stand.
In addition to being unmoored from the Constitution, the viability standard is fundamentally subjective, vague, and unworkable. In 1973, viability was considered to be approximately 28 weeksā gestation. Today, 24 weeks is widely accepted, and babies are surviving even earlierāsome as early as 21 weeks, such as Micah Pickering.
The āviability standardā imposed by the Supreme Court is ultimately an arbitrary line made without scientific analysis or justification and has prevented much state policymaking on abortion to bring the law in line with the science.
Should the Supreme Court change course on Roe v. Wade, abortion policy would return to the states and the American people, through the democratic process, could further address outdated and extreme abortion laws with policies that are not subject to the arbitrary and unworkable viability standard.
Rather, policymakers could craft laws that acknowledge the humanity of children in the womb and reflect public sentiment that supports protecting unborn children before and after viability."
Just imagine......adults would have to make careful considerations about having children.
I'm not sure Democrats can handle that responsibility.
