[quote=InformedConsent;62431453]Bingo! Like nearly all lefties, RBG ruled according to her "feelings," not according to the actual US Constitution thereby violating her sworn oath. She was a walking, talking miscarriage of justice.[/QUOTE
In 1973 the supreme court ruled that the right to an abortion was a liberty protected by the 14th amendment.
Only the poor will be affected by this. And blue states will be forced to pay even more of Mississppi's bills with all the additional unwanted children (54% of children in MS are already born out of wedlock even with abortion being legal). Mississippi's moral values are closer to the Middle East than the rest of the first world regarding women, gay rights, and social issues. Maybe it's time they stand on their own two feet and stop leaching off blue state welfare if they insist on these extreme backward values?
So, you want to live in medieval times, where women were chattel and did not control their own lives? Or the 19th Century when women died attempting to give birth to a non-viable baby? Would you give a death sentence to a woman who tried to abort her own baby at home?

It was a very far reach in the bastardization of the intent of the Amendment too.
There is no Federal individual Right to determine life or death
Plenty already do exactly that but it will be interesting to see where these Red states like Mississippi are going to get the funding for the social problems this creates in their state. I assume the funding for Medicaid and Welfare will increase, I guess that's not their issue the federal government will cover them.
If Mississippi has a law intended to make it less likely for a woman to get rid of her newborn by throwing it in a dumpster, then there can be hope Mississippi Republicans will care about less fortunate babies. A number of Republicans oppose such laws, because it lets the woman get by with child abandonment by making it legal to hand over her newborn to an adult with no questions asked.
There should be no state or federal taxpayer funding for public assistance programs. There's no reason why anyone except the legitimately physically and/or cognitively incapacitated can't support themselves and their dependents. Privately-funded charities to support the same? Have at it.
Name one Republican politician running for election who pledges to work on ending all government welfare if elected. Ending welfare would just increase beggars and thieves in the streets, especially during recession from less money going to charities.
Not really. I've seen any number of posts elsewhere from people who want abortion prohibited for ectopic and tubal pregnancies, claiming the embryo can be reimplanted in the uterus, which is patently untrue.
Right. For instance, in Ohio, an anti-abortion lobbyist worked with a legislator tried to make it mandatory for a doctor to reimplant the embryo. I hope the legislator got voted out office.
By the same standard, why not let Republicans opt out of paying for the public assistance programs that Democrats and Independents use at disproportionately higher rates?
Then along with that, Republicans should be banned from getting on welfare.
