Plan B IS this topic. Once Roe is gone, in some states, Plan B is gone too.
So. You're participating in this opinion thread. Are you also in favor of states banning Plan B when Roe is out of the way?
You're not alone, though, in not realizing how incredibly impactful removing Roe protections will be.
Few women realize that in several states, their prescription birth control pill will no longer be offered at their pharmacy, and their rape crisis centers won't be allowed to dispense Plan B to victims.
Just like all the illegal drugs people take, plan B will cross any state's border
Much less it additionally would impose an “undue burden” by the state on a woman.
Various Explanations of the Undue Burden Test
1) The undue burden test transforms the nature of the right from an unqualified fundamental right to a qualified fundamental right. Instead of a woman’s right to choose whether or not to terminate a pregnancy (the right in Roe), there is now a woman’s right to be free of undue burdens imposed by the state in choosing whether or not to terminate a pregnancy (the right in Casey); or
2) The undue burden test reduces the level of scrutiny from strict scrutiny to intermediate scrutiny so the state has more state interests that meet the test and more available means to accomplish its interests; or
3) The undue burden test operates as a sorting mechanism that divides abortion regulations into two categories: those that impose less than an undue burden and those that impose an undue burden. If the abortion restriction imposes less than an undue burden, it will be upheld as long as it has a rational basis (minimum scrutiny); if it imposes an undue burden, it will only be upheld if it is a least restrictive means to achieve a compelling end (strict scrutiny).
When it comes to abortion for convenience, that breakdown is:
48% keep it legal
45% make it illegal
That's pretty evenly split and why big corporations aren't saying a word. They're all learning from Disney's mistake.
I have no idea where your figures come from…but all I can do is show you stuff like this, which is typical of polls addressing Roe:
Sixty-six percent say Roe v. Wade should not be completely struck down, and 59% would support Congress passing legislation to establish a nationwide right to abortion, including 81% of Democrats, 65% of independents and 30% of Republicans, the survey finds.
At worst your numbers show a worse case, and still more Americans support Roe than oppose it. You may not like it, but that is the state of public opinion.
This is silly. Just because someone voluntarily participates in unprotected sex does not imply that any abortion thereafter is for convenience.
Well, we know they fall into none of the other categories: physical health threat to mother and/or baby, rape, or incest. Are you somehow unaware that an extremely large percentage of abortions are performed as a form of after-the-fact birth control because 95% of unintended pregnancies are due to women VOLUNTARILY participating in unprotected sex?
Quote:
Medical issues concerning the mother, medical issue concerning the unborn child are just two obvious factors that having nothing to do with convenience.
Combined, they account for only 1.4% of all abortions.
Reason for abortion:
Risk to maternal life: 0.1%
Risk to maternal health: 0.8%
Fetal health issue: 0.5%
And rounding out the valid reasons for abortion...
Rape: 0.3%
Incest: 0.03%
Source: CDC
The other 98.3% of abortions are not medically necessary and are performed solely for the sake of the mother's (and/or sometimes the father's) convenience.
Decisions about whether to choose adoption, end a pregnancy, or continue a pregnancy should be made by a pregnant person with the counsel of their family, their faith, and their health care provider.
“Decisions…should be made by a pregnant woman with the counsel of her family, her faith, and her health care provider.”
Quote:
Politicians should not be involved in anyone’s personal medical decisions about their reproductive health or pregnancy.
Then eliminate required vaccines for schools and the military and so forth.
Either we can have laws regulating our bodies or we cannot.

Nor should the anti-abortion crusaders and religious zealots who arrogantly attempt to dictate their--- "in the minority"--- beliefs to make abortion inaccessible or illegal and subjugate women.

Apparently she is all in for judicial activism on the Supreme Court if it goes along with her idiosyncratic interpretations.
The legal questions in Knick v. Township of Scott were:
Should the Court affirm or abrogate its holding in Williamson County Regional Planning Commission v. Hamilton Bank, which requires property owners to exhaust state court remedies before bringing federal Takings Clause claims?
Does the ripeness doctrine established in Williamson County apply to takings claims that assert that a law is unconstitutional on its face?
A valid case was made that a Constitutional Right was violated. That's why SCOTUS took up the Knick case.
In the cases of women convicted of harming their babies in utero, the women's Constitutional Rights weren't violated so SCOTUS declined to hear the cases.
