Imagine being this histrionic before coffee. The lil fella will wear hisself out soon enough.
Backpedaling from what? I never said abortion was a “states rights issue.” As a result of Dobbs, abortion regulations are now set by state legislatures. Nothing says Congress can’t pass regulations that supersede state laws. At this point in time, that hasn’t happened. Your anger is clouding your ability to read the majority opinion and think clearly.
Then why do you feel the need to reply to a question about those who do?
We’ve established that SCOTUS is not among “those who do.” I’ll leave it to you and Angrina to argue with whoever it is that made the assertion.
Yes, you've interjected your horseshit that nobody asked about. Thanks for confirming.
Again, perplexed at your argument. What I said:
What's overlooked in most lit arguments is that prior to R vs W the historical precedent when it came to constitutional law, was, abortion with or without restrictions and under common law practice reserved the authority to the states on decisions regarding abortion. Most states before Roe considered abortion illegal and a few included restrictions basing their decisions on past common law precedent. In 1973 the high court acted unconstitutionally by stripping the states of that authority.
Have you checked your other thread lately?
The one you just posed right below ... Lindsay.
1. Abortion doesnt involve babies.
Absolutely astonishing how many Republican senators, after years of piously lecturin' us about how abortion is a state right, now support Graham's 15 week nationwide ban on abortion. The epitome of talking out of both sides of your mouth.
Not that I agree with Graham but the issue could go before both houses and voted into a federal law, I’m sure Biden would sign the bill.
It won't. It shouldn't.
He said it WAS up to the states...right after the Supreme Court overturned Roe. That was the refrain..."States Rights! No Federal Mandate!"
But he apparently gets to be a hypocrite about who, between the states and the federal level, has the ultimate say about it. That's how you know he's a Republican. The hypocrite part.
No hypocrisy, no post-Dobbs change of mind on state vs national authority to regulate abortion. At least not in the last few years. This is third time he’s introduced national legislation restricting when abortions can be performed. He introduced his last bill, which called for a 20 week ban, in January, 2021. A year and a half before the Dobbs decision. He introdiced first bill before that. This bill, like the two he‘s introduced in the past, has no chance of passing the Senate. Other than shortening the window from 20 weeks to 15 weeks, Graham’s bill is not inconsistent with his previous attempts in recent years. It won’t pass because this is an issue best left to the states and that’s exactly what’s already happening.
