You understand that this is where we are NOW, right?
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 The right has been revoked from The People and the liberties the rights bestowed handed over to legislators.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.
How do legislators gain their power?

BTW this actually just happened and was on the news, a mom refused to get cancer treatment while pregnant,
and now she is terminal
and her husband will have to raise the baby and other kids without her.
PS. Late term abortions account for about 1% of total abortions, yet this is brought up as the main issue over and over like people are ordering it on the regular.
If we really want an honest discussion about abortion, we need to talk about the PRE 21 weeks. Sounds like Donald Trump is on that bandwagon and Pence too…

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?
I'm sure those several women, who almost lost their lives, because the Texas law insists that a woman's must be dying before an abortion can be performed, think they had 2nd Amendment rights that are not supposed to be infringed, too. 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.
Maybe the root of this is the flippant abuse of abortion.
Very very few people have a problem with its use when lives are at stake.
No, just... no.
SCOTUS on Thurs. ruled 6-3 that a 111-year-old restriction on carrying a concealed firearm in NY is unconstitutional. [ 1] The law in question required applicants to show "proper cause" for seeking a license, like hunting and sport shooting, or necessary protection in the citizen's line of work
Roe was LITERALLY overturned thanks to abortion activists.

Roe was LITERALLY overturned thanks to abortion activists.
Roe was LITERALLY overturned thanks to anti-abortion activists, that have been in it for the long haul, chipping away at Roe since 1973.
The abuse of abortion brought this on.
The overturning of Roe wasn't some evangelical bible thumping master minded conspiracy either. It was a result of one incredibly stupid person challenging a state law on abortion that was already super lenient to begin with, that anyone with a brain and half an understanding of law knew immediately wouldn't be overturned in the knucklehead person's favor, that lead to a reexamination of Roe......
Federal courts had enjoined the state from enforcing the law after the state's only abortion clinic, Jackson Women's Health Organization, filed suit immediately after passage; the federal courts stated that the law violated the previously established 24-week point of viability. Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to hear the case on June 15, 2020, and the Court certified the petition on May 17, 2021, limited to the question, "Whether all pre-viability prohibitions on elective abortions are unconstitutional.
In the Texas Heartbeat Act, the legislature created a novel enforcement mechanism that bars state officials from enforcing the statute and authorizes private individuals to sue anyone who performs or assists an illegal abortion.[317][318] Because the Act is enforced by private citizens rather than government officials, there are no state officials that abortion providers can sue to stop the enforcement of the law, and they cannot obtain judicial relief that will stop private lawsuits from being initiated against them.[319] This has produced an end-run around Roe because the threat of private civil-enforcement lawsuits has forced abortion providers to comply with the Act despite its incompatibility with the Supreme Court's abortion pronouncements.

I don't know the deets of Jag's example, but I'm sure this article will answer your questions on the subject.
How Strict Abortion Laws are Delaying Cancer Treatment
They gave it back to the states, where majority opinion can be even more directly applied, and if someone doesn't like it, they can move to another state.
Why can't you tell the truth about what the 'trumpy court' did?
