According to recent unconfirmed reports, including a reported draft opinion of the US Supreme Court, Roe v. Wade is going to be overturned by the US Supreme Court.
If the above is correct, abortion will be regulated by the various states, and in most states, abortion will not be illegal in all circumstances.
It appears that the SCOTUS correctly recognizes that there is no basis to say that the "right to get an abortion" is enumerated in the Constitution, and as such, the ability to regulate abortion is reserved to the various states.
What do you think? Is there any basis in the US constitution to suggest that the right to an abortion is guaranteed in the Constitution? If true, is the above ruling consistent with the Constitution?
It is correct and quite surprising. The Christian conservative movement in the US is really strong and, in my view, little more civilised than other fundamentalists across the world. If they were Muslims, the females of Texas would be wearing a Burka.
Trump needs those votes - living on the conspiracy theorists, the Qanons of this world and the Oil lobby is not enough to win an election and he has not been able con consummate his last coup-d'etat. He had the luck of choosing three members of the SCOTUS and, as usual, had no filter nor any intent to govern with equanimity, and chose those who would deliver this political objective to him.
All that is just politics and usually would be just part of the great game, but this time is going to affect the most deprived sectors of the population, and, as I said before, it will tell the "haves" (have enough for a plane ticket to another state) and the "have nots" - have not other option than risking their lives in a dark alley getting a hanger inserted into their vaginas or live with a bad decision for the rest of their lives.
