Legally: Doesn't matter, there's no way to objectively interpret the law and trying to is stupid, judges should only rule based on what's morally right

Morally: Fantastic

This is insane and basically undermines any functioning society. That said, bodily autonomy is absolutely a fundamental human right. Fortunately, this right is protected under the 14th amendment which makes this specific distinction pointless.

But really, how can a person unironically believe the law is more subjective than morality?

Great historic decision.

The fact that it's only polling 49% here as opposed to 60%-75% nationally is one of the cases where the white male skew of this Forum really outweighs its liberalism.

Posters here, being keyed into political debates, probably are more knowledgeable on the whole than the general public about what the decision actually is. A lot of Americans support Roe v Wade, but also support restricting abortion in ways Roe does not allow.  

Bad take. First off, Roe allows for a lot (too many, imo) of exceptions. But more importantly, it's the only justification for a constitutional right to an abortion. If you overturn it because you want some exception or another, the rationale has to include that it isn't a right protected under the 14th amendment. If that goes, then you're inviting a lot of Republican legislatures to pass bans way, way, way to the right of what you deem acceptable. You can't guarantee long-term abortion rights in this country without Roe.
