The controversial case Roe v. Wade in 1972 firmly established the right to privacy as fundamental, and required that any governmental infringement of that right to be justified by a compelling state interest. In Roe, the court ruled that the state's compelling interest in preventing abortion and protecting the life of the mother outweighs a mother's personal autonomy only after viability. Before viability, the mother's right to privacy limits state interference due to the lack of a compelling state interest.
Soo we will lose more than we even believe, this actually no limited to rights to abortion but the fundamentally right to privacy, one does not go without the other.
Soo states can ban abortion completely if is overturn
Peachy, right, hide it behind the "saving the fetuses" but is more than that.

The SCOTUS draft decision indicates that Roe v Wade will be overturned. The overturn sets a legal precedent. All case law that was based on Roe V Wade can now be challenged.

Bingo. And somebody anticipating their play exposed the legislation prematurely to force their hand. I'm not opposed to conservative values but just as with vaccines and gender politics, your right to choose ends where your body and home does. That's not a decision you make on behalf of anyone else for any reason.

Two reasons for this leak:
1. Batch 3 of the 90,000 sealed Pfizer docs leaked in the early hours of this morning. This serves as an orchestrated distraction. Sauce.
2. To have a justifiable means of instituting vaccine mandates since my body my choice is null without Roe v Wade.

Treat it as murder and see what happens.
..except in the case of murder. No one has a right to murder another human (i don't support any death penalty either). The problem we have, and that is ignored widely in this discussion, is that a lot of folks (myself included) believes abortion is murdering babies.

We illegalize murder too and it's not stopped, but I don't see anyone arguing that we should overturn murder laws because it infringes on anyone's rights. Of course, that could be because the two people involved are often two autonomous and clearly separate individuals.
I also find it interesting that there are plenty of European countries where abortion is more restrictive than the US too, but no one ever talks about that. Even in several European countries, they recognize that a baby is at least viable beyond a certain age, and abortion beyond certain very rare instances is wrong at that point.

Should a Texas woman that has an abortion in Mexico be tried for murder when she returns to Texas. If so what is a reasonable punishment if convicted.
