Do you think state governments are better at making decisions for the people than the federal government? I don't. Both have their problems with understanding how various issues affect the people.
That may be partly true but the states are closer to the people and if the state legislators won't make the decision that the people want the people can vote to put in legislators who share their views. Or in same states by referendum. Federal legislators are more prone to be led by nose by PAC and money.
I am pro choice but see a limit in time on when an abortion should be performed. Let the states decide.
and while that is a good point, I just feel like it hurts no matter what, because the court is taking away rights, and it feels like a political decision, because I can't see the legal argument here on not protecting a woman and her right to choose.
All this decision will do will remove the the right to abortion from the federal government to the states where the people will have the final say. Why are democrats against that?

Because abortion on demand does NOT have the public support they claim it does.
I vaguely remember reading various scholarly works that described Plessy v. Ferguson as "settled law". And it was until it wasn't.
So was Korematsu v. United States.
It would be much more convincing and productive if those who support, or reject Roe vs Wade, to present their reasoning along with their supportive or rejection comments.
The fact is, what makes a Supreme Court opinion legitimate is when it is in harmony with the text of our Constitution and its documented legislative intent which gives context to its text.
Going by many of the recent rulings by this supreme court regarding religion it's hard to tell.
Overturning Roe is not based on anyone's religious beliefs. It's based on abiding by the US Constitution.
