Overturning Roe Is a Radical, Not Conservative, Choice

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“America is a different place, with most of its population born after Roe was decided. And a decision to overturn Roe — which the court seems poised to do, according to the leak of a draft of a majority opinion from Justice Samuel Alito — would do more to replicate Roe’s damage than to reverse it.

It would be a radical, not conservative, choice.

What is conservative? It is, above all, the conviction that abrupt and profound changes to established laws and common expectations are utterly destructive to respect for the law and the institutions established to uphold it — especially when those changes are instigated from above, with neither democratic consent nor broad consensus.”

An abrupt and profound change to an established law is utterly destructive to respect for the law.

Overturning Roe is therefore repugnant to conservativism – it is radical, extreme, reckless, and irresponsible.

Why haven’t the Ds passed a law making abortion legal? Simple fix. They’ve had majorities in both houses several times since 1973. O and Joe said they would, but didn’t. Strange no?

Yes, it's time to retire the world "conservative" from American politics. Is there anyone left on the right that prefers cautious incremental change?

Is there anyone on the left who won't riot for instant gratification?

The Left implements vast societal change and then years later when we finally reap it's tragic devastation they whine about "incremental change".

I just saw a pic of a 10 year old "non-binary" girl with her head shaved. This is destructive. You own it. Probably in 10 years you all will cry about "incremental change" when these traumatized kids tell the stories of how they were sucked into a horrid fad....

The creation of Roe v Wade was a radical issue. The Court found a "right to privacy" that did not exist in the Constitution and expanded it to justify the killing of millions of unborn. Democrats said abortion would be rare and here we are in the 21st century talking about killing newborn babies by neglect.

Similarly, the word "liberal" has been hijacked by the communist filth on the left. None of you motherfuckers are even close to liberal.

Plenty of threads around where you people can trade scary stories that somehow justify being spiteful assholes in all matters. The world has never been improved by making it meaner and more uncaring but damned if "conservatives" are not going to make the attempt.

People that say stuff like that usually have a long list of stuff they want to ban and criminalize. What's on your list?

I'm fine with that.

Absolutely nothing.

See, I am a true liberal.

You? You are a fucking communist. Kill yourself.

I'm not looking to ban anything either. The only differnce between us is that you will fall in with people who do just for spite.

Hey, you don't want me to get mean?

Then STAY OUT OF MY FACE.

And away from my children.

You get in our faces again with your goddamn "protests" and I'll eat you for lunch. And then throw what's left of your rotting carcass to the maggots

So "radical" that leftist superstars Alan Dershowitz and Ruth Bader Ginsburg considered Roe to be aberrant bad law.

Go piss up a rope.

That is ridiculous....No wonder it comes from the NYTimes....Look, it's real simple...In order to confer an actual right, that has to be done through a constitutional process via an amendment...ANYTHING other than that is an illusion subject to the whims of future courts or bodies of Congress....

Now, if the support for Roe is so popular as you and other libs say then an amendment shouldn't be a problem...In fact the only reason NOT to do so, is because you know it would fail to meet the standards.

The Rightwing penchant overturning long established precedent and established late, for putting in political judges and creating tbe most politically activist court since FDR almost a century ago….is indeed reckless.

The Supreme Court is losing credibility as being an impartial judiciary is being eroded in the eyes of many American. This isn’t good for our country. Neither is the possible precedent of giving individual rights and then taking them away.
