Abortion is a matter that should be decided on a state level.  The reasoning in Roe is flawed.  The way the country stands right now, I suspect that even if Roe were overturned, abortion would be available in most states.   

There is plenty of precedent for overturning poorly decided opinions from the Supreme Court.  It happens frequently.   I ran across a case in 2019 - Knick v. Twshp of Scott that overturned long standing Supreme Court precedent.  Otherwise, Dred v. Scott would still be good law today.

That being said, there are practical considerations.  Overturning Roe would be very divisive and could possibly result in civil disorder.  But again, it is a poorly reasoned opinion, and its reversal would not mean an end to abortion in the U.S. by any stretch of the matter.

There was an old settled case known as Williamson County v. Hamilton Bank decided by the Supreme Court in 1985.  Basically, it provided that if the state or local government took your property and didn't properly compensate you for the taking, you had to first exhaust all your remedies in state court before suing in federal court.  The Knick case, also decided by the Supreme Court in 2019, overruled Williamson County and held that if a state or municipality takes your private property without compensating you properly for it, you can go straight to federal court and sue.

I mentioned these cases as an example of the Supreme Court reversing itself.  It's not uncommon.

Liberals: we can't change precedent on abortion it's been this way for 50 years.

Also liberals: the Constitution is outdated and we need to get rid of the 2nd amendment.

What does that have to do with the Dred Scott decision in 1857 though?

Roe v Wade was a retarded ruling made by retarded judges that retarded people retardedly believe is a right.

I already addressed this. This would be induced labor resulting in birth. Not an abortion.  Is abortion even medically possible at this late stage of pregnancy? Is there a doctor that can answer this? 

If you want to have a serious discussion, let's stop with the false arguments.

 

Uh, yeah, I'm pretty sure one day before birth babies don't become immortal so it's "possible."

Good luck finding a doctor to attempt abortion at 39 weeks.... For the third time, what will happen instead is induced labor resulting in birth. Abortion at this late stage is illogical.

Anybody else want to take up this absurd argument?

This goes back to the outrage over Northam's comments on "late abortion" awhile back.  An "abortion" at that stage would be delivering an infant and, instead of resuscitating them, keeping them comfortable and letting them pass.  With viable infants this isn't really an option cause well, they don't need a ventilator or epinephrine or central lines etc. It only applies to kids with severe abnormalities that aren't compatible with life outside of significant intervention.

As someone who has resuscitated a 400 gram newborn and a newborn with holoprocencephaly only to watch them die horribly weeks to months later, it 100% should be an option for parents and doctors to make without fear of legal repercussions.

What, in your esteemed legal mind, would have qualified as a "non-retarded" ruling?

Oh, like your opinion on this carries more weight because you've delivered babies.  What a pompous arse you are.

"Delivering an infant and letting them pass"  -  You mean letting the infant die, or worse, killing the infant as some abortionists would do notwithstanding what you said afterward.

You seriously need to turn in your medical license.

I would have said it differently, but the ruling has a very poor legal foundation and is reasoned poorly.

Acting like zero doctors will perform ultra late term abortions is absurd. You can always find someone who will do something for a buck, and even more so when they have some kind of demented ideological crusader fantasy. You won't need "luck" - the left is ghoulish enough to not only do it, but celebrate it and advertise it as a service.

It was a horrible decision where, if the Supreme Court was unable to reverse itself, could stand today absent the 13th amendment.

Kicking it back to the states, since there is no legal right to an abortion or anything about abortion anywhere in the constitution and the US constitution clearly states that any power not explicitly granted to the federal government is reserved for the states.

Providing palliative care for an infant with a terminal medical condition is cause to lose one's license, but a doctor advocating against vaccines and instead prescribing an unproven anti-parasatic off-label is perfectly reasonable in your demented and deranged mind? Sounds about right for a cultist.

Exactly.  Reversing Roe will not mean a woman cannot get an abortion in the U.S.

You're ranting again, and no, this has nothing to do with treating corona.   Pretty clear you haven't taken your meds this morning.

I'm a trained pediatrician with certifications in palliative care married to an OBGYN. Considering I know how this actually works instead of just reacting to fear mongering propaganda, yes my opinion and understanding carries more weight than the moron still struggling with the concept that horse paste doesn't treat viruses.

No one is euthanizing recently delivered infants you dolt. They're letting infants with severe illnesses pass away comfortably as a decision between a family and their doctor.  Cut the "slippery slope" BS.

BS.  There are some very shady abortionists out there.  I commend the years of education and hard work you and your wife underwent.  But your eyes are closed if you refuse to see the underbelly of this aspect of the "practice" of medicine. 

As I said before, your medical degree doesn't confer extra qualifications on you to opine on this issue.

Doctors and patients don't make laws. Governments do. Legally, in this case, state governments. If some state governments want to then say it's a free for all, that's their legal right as morally reprehensible as it might be.

This guy seriously thinks he's superior to the rest of us mere mortals because we're not doctors.  Very full of himself - he has to brag about his degree and specialty and that of his wife in a football forum.
