"Except those necessary to save the mother's life". Isn't that its all about and what lefties have been telling us for years? Or maybe abortion is a tool for liberal men to get rid of their responsibilities at the stroke of a scalpel or a tool that looks like a coat hanger when they force women to risk their mental and physical health by hiring someone to murder the unborn life inside them. Abortion ain't about "woman's rights", it's an abuse of woman's rights. Maybe PP gets an added bonus after receiving all those confiscated taxpayer dollars when they get to make some extra money peddling human body parts to God knows who, maybe cannibals or twisted scientists.
Wong again.
Liberals support settled, accepted privacy rights jurisprudence as protected by the Constitution and affirmed by the Supreme Court, as expressed in
Griswold/Eisenstadt/Roe/Casey:
“It should be recognized, moreover, that in some critical respects the abortion decision is of the same character as the decision to use contraception, to which
Griswold v. Connecticut,
Eisenstadt v. Baird, and
Carey v. Population Services International, afford constitutional protection. We have no doubt as to the correctness of those decisions. They support the reasoning in
Roe relating to the woman's liberty because they involve personal decisions concerning not only the meaning of procreation but also human responsibility and respect for it.”
Planned Parenthood of Southeastern Pa. v. Casey, 505 U.S. 833 (1992)
The right to privacy is comprehensive and all-inclusive, prohibiting the state from interfering in personal, private decisions, decisions that are immune from attack by government – where abortion is but one aspect of that comprehensive right, and where the decision to have a child or not belongs alone to the woman.
Constitutional case law is not a ‘cafeteria plan,’ one cannot pick and choose the rights he agrees with and ignore the rights he dislikes, as if we indeed cherish our right to privacy safeguarded from unwarranted government intrusion, then that right also prohibits government from seeking to compel a woman to give birth against her will.
