Abortion amendment?

[M14 Shooter]

A question came up in another topic...

What restrictions on abortion would you allow as constitutional if there were an amendment that read "The right of a woman to have an abortion shall not be infringed"?

Please explain you answer.

Given they way you put the wording there would be none.....Then again that's how 2A reads so I guess it would be open to "interpretation" too would it not.

Much like how Roe and Casey read....

The woman has the right to privacy until a certain point in pregnancy, when the states can have an interest in her pregnancy and a viable or near viable foetus.... That time period has shortened with modern medicine, and fetuses are able to survive at a younger stage.

In yesteryear, that legal time was with quickening, under common law..... When the baby to be, begins to kick, and the woman begins to show in her belly, that she is pregnant....about 4 months.

I wish no woman would choose to abort unless necessary, but I also do not believe the government has a right to invade the female's privacy, to even know she was pregnant early on, and that before a certain stage of fetus development, the woman should have full autonomy of her own body and medical decisions without the government interference. I've had 50 years of believing that, this was the law and a constitutional protection against being ruled like property, by mostly men.

No restrictions could be constitutionally valid.

The only thing to do would be to repeal that monstrous amendment.

It would never get passed with the 3/4 votes of the states necessary for ratification.
Hypothetically, if it was passed, it would be unconstitutional since the Constitution already guarantees a right to life.
Murder, the purposeful killing of an innocent, is already illegal & infanticide is even worse.

Do you believe the pro-choice crowd will agree that "post viability" restrictions are not infringements on the right to an abortion?

M'kay.
Now... please address the question presented:

I would not live in any such nation. Period.

Absolutely.....! But that is up to you and whether the right wing would truly agree to that, which it is more than likely that they won't, or will lie that they do agree, only to commit a Dobbs later....

Can you name one abortion case after viability of the fetus, say 6 months onwards(26 weeks+) that was not for medical reasons the past 10 years???

 

[M14 Shooter]

Absolutely.....!

Why do you think so?
Not allowing abortions after viability force women to carry a baby to term, see...

Your question is unrealistic in the extreme. I can't imagine 3/4 of all states ratifying such an amendment.

An amendment to safeguard the right to privacy and reproductive autonomy shouldn’t be necessary.

Unfortunately it is, however, the consequence of the authoritarian neo-fascist right.

Okay.
Now... please address the question presented:

The premise is false. There would NEVER be an Amendment with that wording, duh.

"LIFE, LIBERTY, and..."
there is no right to "reproductive autonomy", DUH.

Did you notice how you avoided the question?
Given your partisan bigotry and propensity to lie, no one is surprised.

Here's an idea, idiot stupid shits in government just stay out of the issue altogether.

 

[M14 Shooter]

The premise is false.

The question is a hypothetical.
You choose to avoid it.

So... your asnwer to the question...?

They aren't realizing this is a thought exercise vis a vis wording an amendment to protect abortion using the language in the 2nd amendment protecting individual RKBA.
