Question: Should Roe V. Wade be overturned?
I answered yes in the poll but the poll should have included the correct answer,
it has been already . . .
Casey redefined several provisions regarding abortion rights as established in
Roe, rejecting
Roe's trimester-based framework for allowing states to curb the availability of abortion in favor of a more flexible medical definition of viability.
All that remains of
Roe is the “essential holding” (i.e., the basic principle) that women have a right to obtain an abortion
prior to fetal viability . . . Who in the Democrat party today has any respect or desire to adhere
Roe's limitation determined upon fetal development, especially an arbitrary but seemingly subjective determination of "viability" that hovers somewhere between 24-28 weeks?
Roe, by direct judicial decision (
Casey) and current policy choices, has been legally negated to the status of complete non-entity as a legal "precedent".
Why is there so much wailing and hand-wringing about
Roe;
Roe guides nothing, and that is undeniably true now, before
Dobbs (if it remains as the leaked draft opinion would indicate) is handed down . . .
