I have NEVER heard Democrats explain why allowing states to determine abortion rules/regulations makes them so angry.
Yes you have. You just refuse to admit that Roe V Wade acknowledged a woman's constitutional right to reproductive choice, and that the Dodd ruling revoked a woman's constitutional to reproductive choice and gave it to elected state legislators.
Face it though, you don't like it being a states' right any more than I do. You want a federal ban on abortion. You don't want the people deciding through their votes. You don't want states like New York and California to offer safe and legal abortions. You want to go further and ban abortion on a federal level.
A federal ban on abortion is not practical and would be cruel. Admit it!
Why do you say that? Why isn't a 6 week federal abortion ban practical for everyone if it's practical for Texas women?
Everyone is getting off track. First, it must be determined who owns the little person's life. A Human, or God, or the Government?
How about the little person, can they own their own life?
When they reach the age of majority.
Constitutionally speaking.
So untill then they have no rights over their life; between the ages of conception and majority?
Largely, no. They are under the umbrella of their parents rights.
So their parents hold the rights over their life between the ages of conception and majority?
I see where you're going, so lets just put a quick end to it.
Is child abuse illegal?
How about sexual abuse?
Does the penalty depend on the age of the child?
If yes why is that?
Because little person owns their own life?

Move away from the contentions you yourself posted.
Nice try. I'm not moving away from anything. It's just really hardfor you to admit that your beloved SCOTUS revoked a constitutional right from The People that The Peopleenjoyed for 50 years. They didn't just take it from women, they took it from the men too, they took it from families too.
“Shall not be infringed” like other stuff?
But you've got a bunch of legislators that can't decide when the woman's life becomes more important than the fetus' life, and doctors are afraid to pull the trigger.

Now it's back to the states, where she said:
No man. Again, that's not what she said.
You even bolded it!
in a process that included state legislatures and the courts
Then you just go and start gaslighting again.
“My criticism of Roe is that it seemed to have stopped the momentum on the side of change,” Ginsburg said. She would’ve preferred that abortion rights be secured more gradually, in a process that included state legislatures and the courts, she added. Ginsburg also was troubled that the focus on Roe was on a right to privacy, rather than women’s rights.
“Roe isn’t really about the woman’s choice, is it?” Ginsburg said. “It’s about the doctor’s freedom to practice…it wasn’t woman-centered, it was physician-centered.”
Then you just go and start gaslighting again.

I've no idea what you're talking about.
The only thing that changed was a reinterpretation of liberty with the mothers being deemed less important than that of the fetus... by a ridiculously conservative Supreme Court
You understand that this is where we are NOW, right?

What is consistently ignored in these discussions is any part of a father even if they were just a "donor" so to speak.

State legislators aren't being included. They're in charge! The right has been revoked from The People and the liberties the rights bestowed handed over to legislators.
That's not what Ginsburg was hoping for.

Agreed.
But people can't even have an honest discussion about the rights of a mother and the rights of a child. Bring up the rights of a father just makes the issue that much harder to discuss.

That's exactly it.
So ridiculously conservative that Alito actually felt it appropriate to cite a 1600's witchcraft trials judge just to prove how deeply rooted and religious ingrained the sentiment of a woman's place is.
Alito, in his draft opinion, invokes “eminent common-law authorities,” including Hale, to show how abortion was viewed historically not as a right, but as a criminal act. “Two treatises by Sir Matthew Hale likewise described abortion of a quick child who died in the womb as a ‘great crime’ and a ‘great misprision,’” Alito wrote.
Even before “quickening” — defined by Alito as “the first felt movement of the fetus in the womb, which usually occurs between the 16th and 18th week of pregnancy” — Hale believed an abortion could qualify as homicide. “Hale wrote that if a physician gave a woman ‘with child’ a ‘potion’ to cause an abortion, and the woman died, it was ‘murder’ because the potion was given ‘unlawfully to destroy her child within her,’” Alito wrote.

Democrats Lie About Their Abortion Stance After Donald Trump Exposes How Radical They Are.
trump just alienated a yuge segment of Evangelicals because he isn't for a total ban. I wonder if Catholics feel the same way.
trump isn't stupid, he know this roe-wade ban isn't helping the GOP at all.

4.) President Joe Biden is pro-LifeChoice: content.time.com...
He is an abortion supporter and should be officially excommunicated from the church. Technically, he has excommunicated himself. All a Catholic has to do is support abortion and they are 'excommunicated' on their own. But I'd like to see it official from the Bishops office. Maybe that would shake him up enough that he'd wake up a little.
The Catholic Church is changing how it views what the Bible says. The Church now says Men who boink other Men will no longer be condemned. Same for women. LGBTQ is acceptable, according to the Pope's revised interpretation of the Holy Book.

Tell me Sookie, are state legislatures different from federal legislatures?
Why would RGB mention state legislatures by name if she didn't mean state legislatures?
