I’ve always said that abortion is something that should be debated in the legislative branch of government, not decided by the judicial branch. I think that there would have been much less rancor if it had gone this path instead of r vs w in 73. People on both sides could at least had felt that they had a voice in the outcome instead of it being sent down from the SC. |

Better yet, it could be debated in the states, as it was before Roe v Wade stopped them from doing so. Then people could have even more of a voice in the outcome where they live, no?
Not that I particularly have the time or the energy to get involved in an abortion debate... |

Hmmm.
I wonder if we will get the feminist version of the "truther" visit? |

Justice Thomas’s invitation for the matter to be revisited on "commerce clause" grounds seems to be saying he would have liked to have strike it down on those grounds, except that question wasn’t in front of him.

I doubt that Roe is in serious jeopardy just yet, unfortunately, but this ruling is a significant first step. Soon, very soon God willing... |

This question is none of Government’s business. It’s between the Woman, her Physician and her Conscience. If you believe in limited government start in those areas involving government control of your personal life. Republicans want to control your morals, Democrats your finances. A ‘Limited’ government can control neither. Defend me from Enemies, Foreign and Domestic” Don’t defend me from me. |

Actually James, yes it is. As long as abortion involves another life the Government has every right to step in if not to protect that life than at least to regulate the extermination of it. Perhaps the Woman should see her Doctor before having sex to ensure this doesn’t become an issue for us to argue over in the first place. It’s not like condoms are difficult to find in our society nowadays... |

Here’s something, McQ...
Check Harry Reid’s comments about the SCOTUS ruling, and then check how he voted for the bill they were ruling on... |

As long as abortion involves another life At that point you have two individuals, so governmental protections come into effect. Government has jurisdiction in disputes between individuals. The question is at one point does the government get jurisdiction. Perhaps when the guy first gets the idea he is going to “Get Lucky”? In the past it has been at the point of viability. That seems a good time. |

If "viability" is your standard, than you should have no argument against the PBA or this ruling from SCOTUS. |
