Overturning Roe Is a Radical, Not Conservative, Choice

[Bootney Lee Farnsworth]

That question is absurd.

Why? Because it demonstrates how you are not a liberal?

 

[Oddball]

The Rightwing penchant overturning long established precedent and established late, for putting in political judges and creating tbe most politically activist court since FDR almost a century ago….is indeed reckless.

The Supreme Court is losing credibility as being an impartial judiciary is being eroded in the eyes of many American. This isn’t good for our country. Neither is the possible precedent of giving individual rights and then taking them away.

Dred Scott overturned "long established precedent and established".

Oh wait....Democrts were all pissy when Jim Crow was overturned too.

First, please be so kind as to point out in our Constitution where it says that the SCOTUS can 'give individual rights'....

Second, It is laughable that you complain about activist judges when we see activism from liberal judges ever increasing in our society today...

Face it Coyote, you don't like the decision if this leaked document holds as the final decision, but, will not advocate for the only real way to confer a new right through an amendment because you know you don't have the votes...IOW, it is YOU who want the judicial activism for your outcome.

Dred Scott did. Rightwingers had a meltdown when it was overturned. But Dred Scott violated the individual rights of an entire group of Americans.

The NFA violates the individual rights of ALL Americans.

Wrong....That was all left wing democrats in Dixie.....Roe violates the right to life of the unborn.

P.S....Your lame-assed "the parties switched" bullshit won't play here, hypocrite.

No firearm restrictions is more of a libertarian pipedream than liberal. I believe people should be able to own firearms responsibly with that responsibility enforced by the rule of law.

Yea, the dems never make political moves.

Libertarians are the only liberals left....You are an authoritarian, not a liberal.

Actually it is the Constitutional right period...

So people should not be held legally responsible for having and using guns? Not sure what your objection is.

I don’t literally mean they give rights, but their decisions effect rights and how they are interpreted.

Second, It is laughable that you complain about activist judges when we see activism from liberal judges ever increasing in our society today...

You haven’t seen activism like this. And a pretty good indicator is the measure of public trust in the institution which used to be considered above the political fray (and a good indication of this is how they didn’t “reliably” rule in the way partisans on either side expected them to, right?

Face it Coyote, you don't like the decision if this leaked document holds as the final decision, but, will not advocate for the only real way to confer a new right through an amendment because you know you don't have the votes...IOW, it is YOU who want the judicial activism for your outcome.

Fact is, you better believe I don’t like it. A very fundamental right, control over the integrity of my own body, is being taken from me. This is a right I have had for almost fifty years. The only “activism” is those now deciding pregnant women lose all rights to their body, as an entire class of people. Some of the trigger laws proposed would make abortion illegal in all cases except for “eminent threat to a woman’s life”….she would have to be on the verge of death to get a legal abortion.

Judicial activism? Claiming that a being growing within another’s body, that maybe nothing more than a a few cells seeking a uterus has the same rights over that body as she does. Nowhere in the constitution are embryos granted rights.

Said who? Honestly, do you just butt in to snark? I made reference to FDR, he was a Dem you know.

“America is a different place, with most of its population born after Roe was decided. And a decision to overturn Roe — which the court seems poised to do, according to the leak of a draft of a majority opinion from Justice Samuel Alito — would do more to replicate Roe’s damage than to reverse it.

It would be a radical, not conservative, choice.

What is conservative? It is, above all, the conviction that abrupt and profound changes to established laws and common expectations are utterly destructive to respect for the law and the institutions established to uphold it — especially when those changes are instigated from above, with neither democratic consent nor broad consensus.”

An abrupt and profound change to an established law is utterly destructive to respect for the law.

Overturning Roe is therefore repugnant to conservativism – it is radical, extreme, reckless, and irresponsible.

No, abortion is an abomination, worse than slavery. We need to rectify our wrongs as a nation continually.

So if a ruling is bad law, it shouldn't be corrected? Logically, you are saying that slavery should still be legal.

They were “left winger” Dixie’s? Get real. There was nothing leftwing about the southern Dems and they did not agree with the northern liberal wing. But, like all political parties, including Republicans, political power trumps ideology. I thought you studied history, was it infected with your own brand of bias?

Or are just too cowardly to admit that conservatives can be despicable too?

Your cartoon is good…you still support choice?

Worse than slavery??? You guys are nuts.

 

[elektra]

Overturning Roe vs Wade is minor, mild, action.

It changes no other abortion law. People can still kill babies

 

[LordBrownTrout]

Worse than slavery??? You guys are nuts.

Killing the unborn is not as bad as slavery? Nuts? No, they're both appalling but killing an innocent life is abhorrent.

 

[elektra]

Worse than slavery??? You guys are nuts.

Yes, in the sense that babies are killed and slaves were cared for as prized property.
