Some states have legalized weed. Uber liberal California just did after many years of trying so I don't know about most wanting it but that should be up to the states. The federal law isn't enforced unless it's a large illegal shipment.That would be a different matter altogether. First off, all courts should be conservative. The judicial branch interprets the law as written, the legislators write the laws. Secondly, I don't see it happening in congress because the country is about 50/50 on abortion after the fetus is formed into a human shape. The later the term the higher the percent against it goes but even most pro-lifers want the life of the mother, rape or incest to be legal.You can't read. If the high court overturns it there is no federal law regarding abortion.I can't translate your parable but if it's a state issue it's a state issue. States don't merge with one another. Are you afraid the citizens of a state won't want it?
the federal government supersedes state's rights when push comes to shove. in the end, we are not the 50 states of america are we?
no.
& if it is ever brought to a 'conservative' SC that certain inalienable rights extend to the pre-born, & the SC agrees- that will supersede any state's view on the matter.
what you see not happening isn't at all comforting. there are ways to get around the 'rape' loophole even if it is supposedly 'allowed'. the majority of americans want marijuana legalized... but it remains federally illegal. & the feds can pull the rug out from any state that has it legal or even as a medical option at any time.
If a state has a problem with a rape/abortion law there are remedies. Like I said most people do not expect a rape victim to have to carry the child to term.
