Dobbs: The weaknesses in Roe’s reasoning are well-known. Without any grounding in the constitutional text, history, or precedent, it imposed on the entire country a detailed set of rules much like those that one might expect to find in a statute or regulation. See 410 U. S., at 163–164. Dividing pregnancy into three trimesters, the Court imposed special rules for each. During the first trimester, the Court announced, “the abortion decision and its effectuation must be left to the medical judgment of the pregnant woman’s attending physician.” Id., at 164. After that point, a State’s interest in regulating abortion for the sake of a woman’s health became compelling, and accordingly, a State could “regulate the abortion procedure in ways that are reasonably related to maternal health.” Ibid. Finally, in “the stage subsequent to viability,” which in 1973 roughly coincided with the beginning of the third trimester, the State’s interest in “the potentiality of human life” became compelling, and therefore a State could “regulate, and even proscribe, abortion except where it is necessary, in appropriate medical judgment, for the preservation of the life or health of the mother.”
M14 Shooter said: “Roe v Wade ruled that, after the 1st trimester, the state has a compelling interest in doing so, and may therefore regulate/
ban such things.” mnnshtr.13.07.01

RvW gave women a constitutional right to a safe legal abortion until the beginning of the third trimester. At two trimesters of development a state could take a compelling interest in
“the potentiality of human life” and ban or proscribe the procedure as a way to protect the life of the fetus.
Saint M14shooter understood in 2013 that a woman had a right to an abortion through the first trimester of being pregnant. Now Saint M14shooter claims women never had a right to an abortion that was taken away by Dobbs which allows a state to ban abortions starting as early as conception.
Saint M14shooter has obviously been confused about women’s reproductive rights and health for a long time,
Now that white Christian nationalism, Dobbs Catholic Justices and Saint Trvmp are tearing the Grand Old Party apart, I don’t see how Saint M14shooter can come to grips with the political reality of what is about to overwhelm him. Women are rightfully pissed at Republican white men who love guns more than possibly loving and respecting a woman,
