    Roe v. Wade | 410 U.S. 113 (1973)
    In 1973, the United States Supreme Court issued its decision in Roe versus Wade. The effect of the Court’s ruling was immediate and far-reaching, expanding the right to privacy under the Fourteenth Amendment and altering the legal landscape on the issue of abortion across the country.
    Norma McCorvey, a single, pregnant woman in Texas, sought an abortion. At the time, Texas law prohibited abortions unless performed or obtained to save the life of the mother. To protect her privacy, McCorvey filed suit in federal court under the name Jane Roe. The defendant was Henry Wade, the district attorney in the Texas county where McCorvey sought the abortion.

    Honestly the main issue is defining what counts as "life." On one side, there are people that view the life of the mother as the set life while Pro-Lifers view life as both the fetus and the mother.
    ...nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws. U.S. Const. amend. XIV, § 1
    Again, the issue is not a matter of protecting the rights of women because the 14th Amendment states that it will rightly do so but rather, it questions whether or not the fetus has rights. The 14th Amendment does not disclose the classification of life to that of the fetus, therefore was overturned to that of the state. People are looking at the Justices as if they've done something wrong other than stick to the amendment. The 14th amendment is vague. It's not their fault.

    It seems like a couple of statements were made overly vague. The reductive wording at 0:51 makes it sound like the 14th amendment enunerates a right to privacy. The word choice used are 4:24 unintentionally implies that Reinquist used circular reasoning, by not specifying that his argument was that _at the time of 14 amendment ratification_ states had abortion restrictions.

    A woman's right to choose shouldn't be up for discussion, at least in the first trimester. I live in a country that banned abortions in the late 60's and the results were horrifying: after the initial increase in births, a massive increase in women's mortality due to back alley abortions followed, coupled with an increase in child abandonment -in orphanages that looked like Hitler's deathcamps-, neglect, domestic violence, and child mortality, to name a few of the consequences. Look up Decree 770 if you think I'm full of crap. This is not a humane solution at all. This isn't democracy. The ban was lifted after December 1989, the situation became more stable and even the number of abortions decreased but the discussion is much more complex than this. All in all, I stand by what I said, it's nobody's damn business what a woman does or doesn't do with her body, period. I'm not a feminist but this shouldn't be an issue. Sorry to all pro lifers, it's my opinion and I stand by it.

    I read about Griswold vs Connecticut, the judges literally couldnt find how the US constitution actually defends a married couple’s “marital right” to contraceptives. I think it’s pretty clear that that was something that should be left to legislation and no other branch, whether in the federal or state government. And how that’s supposed to somehow apply to abortion even under non-marital circumstances I dont know.

    • @otterologist5866
      @otterologist5866 2 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      The Supreme Court has the ability to imply powers that aren't explicitly written in the Constitution. This ability comes from McCulloch v. Maryland (1819). The 14th Amendment states that no State can deprive anyone of liberty without due process nor can any State deny equal protection of laws. Abortion bans violate a woman's right to liberty and denies her equal protection under the law. This violation is unConstitutional, which is exactly what the Supreme Court found. It's entirely logical and well within the scope of valid Constitutional interpretation.

    • @PWNINSWAGMASTER
      @PWNINSWAGMASTER 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      @@otterologist5866 It doesnt deny women equal protection under law. And I mean this in 2 different senses.
      1. If we’re talking criminalizing women, the arguable implication is that you the abortion criminal will be protected from being jailed for years, assaulted by other criminals, protected from yourself, etc until the your trial, that is due process. And because every state has to do this, that counts as equal protection of laws.
      2. If the idea is criminalizing only the service and the doctors, that’s literally no different from legislating bans(whether federally or by state) on certain drugs with FDA guidance or something, which can arguably be more important with regard to the health care of people of both genders. That’s no infringement on the woman, that’s just illegalizing the service(that btw men and infertile women dont have access to). The US illegalizes services/drugs all the dang time with regard to healthcare. You cant call each one a constitutional right every single time.
      See here’s the thing. You say the Supreme Court can imply powers that arent explicit in the constitution. So first off, that to me sounds like a very loose abuse of power. However, you implied it one way, I just used that logic against you by implying it another way. So you can violate a decision, that does not mean you are violating the originality of the constitution itself. Everyone knows this. While I dont expect that Roe will be overturned anytime soon, saying that overturning it is “factually” unconstitutional is laughable because not every justice agrees and because you’re choosing between either the individual(which in the case of Roe the woman ended up regreting her abortion anyway) or the states.

    Equating the value of prenatal life at all stages of the pregnancy is a moral imperative. There are always 2 bodies/2 autonomous persons to consider. The justices bent over backwards to accommodate the messy inconvenience of an unwanted child by relegating the child to a mass of cells and allowing for the mother to choose execution. Millions of lives later we finally come full circle, now armed with much more scientific capability to understand that human life and all that makes it such is present in the first weeks if not days after conception.

    There are far better services to this about the whole issue which brought the court to the point of legalising abortion. Legally, the matter is extremely iffy and that is why Roe remained an issue. My own personal view is that a woman is carrying a baby. Why carrying a baby makes a woman think that she has a right of life or death over the baby, has always been beyond me, not because I am dense, but because one does not imply the other. There is no connect. Carriage does not empower one to act as if one were some god. So to help Ukraine being terminated by Russia we try to marshal world opinion against Russia, but a baby in the court of its own mother, can have no advocate. Because it is a private matter, but privacy is allowed only to the mother to decide, the privacy issue privileges the baby, the one about to be murdered, not one bit, as if the baby is just a tennis ball and it's up to the mother to volley it on court and let the game continue or off court and lose the point. The bad judgement in Roe makes the mother the supreme arbiter of a foetus's life. As if anybody has any right over the life of others. So a woman thinks it is her body and nobody has any right to do with it whatever except her, conveniently simultaneously forgetting, that the baby too has a body over whom nobody has a right to pass a death sentence on. So, as I said in the beginning. A woman is a carrier of a baby, not its owner. We do not own our babies, nor our children. Supreme egotism is what is at stake here. The egotism that reasons that nobody has the right to tell me what to do, however I reserve the right to terminate the life of another, making them do what I want. So, I never needed the US Supreme Court to tell me where the right really was: The right was on the baby's side because it has every right to be born. The woman has no right to murder anybody just because the victim is occupying her belly. And even the commandment, thou shalt not kill, is not necessary to come to the easy conclusion that Roe was basically an aberration of justice. Philosophically and not necessarily to tie with this argument, one must remember that we come into this world naked, owning nothing and being totally dependent on others. We leave it after most likely becoming totally dependent on others yet again, in most cases and taking nothing with us. We become dust occupying important real estate when not scattered to the wind. From owning nothing to being completely unable to take anything with us. So, a moment of consideration about this is important. All this egotism, all these ownership issues is just thrashing about in the muck for a few years after all. My body, my baby, my kids. You own nothing. Not even your own life. Let alone the life of others. As a matter of faith, all believers know that only God is the owner of all and everyone and everything because it is through him that everything that is good, is made. But as I said, one requires neither the US Supreme Court nor the Bible to easily realise that Roe was a deep miscarriage of justice against all the unborn. A miscarriage that has to date totalled 60 Million baby murders and counting. And then there are some who hold that women are sweet, tender, caring and loving. Sure, ask those 60 Million who have never seen the light of day and who God knows what important matters some of them could have accomplished had they lived, like for example, found a cure for cancer. Murder is nothing but greed wrapped in ignorance, whatever any intellectual tells you.

    She also lied about how she was impregnated. She was not raped. The decision of the Supreme Court seemed to have been made with weak arguments and assumptions from a right to privacy and due process. Unfortunately this decision would fail. The justices assumed integrity within the medical community, which over the years we have seen that there is not. Medical community decided it was fine to give a person 9 months or more (40weeks-10 months) to decide on termination. This quickly became about money. They then decided to use the viable fetuses as a spring board to new business practices. $$$. All these actions of a weak case work brought about its end. Abortion decisions need to be in our constitution but clearly defined and argued. Our privacy and due process in these decisions need to be addressed. We need our rights and protections guaranteed in a much stronger truthful and deliberately worded case to bring to Supreme Court and quickly. BTW. Suspicious Deaths of judges should be investigated thoroughly by outside agencies. Suspicious deaths are a big part of problem.

      @@chereseplatt686 I appreciate the sentiment but this is a red herring fallacy on this subject. Fathers don’t pay child support for unborn children. Fathers should remain married to the mother of their children and keep both parents in the household according to God’s law, but I digress.
      But, to answer your double standard challenge: yes, any father who participates in the murder of his unborn child should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law if he is convicted. Equal protection and equal prosecution. No partiality under the law.
      Thanks for the question.

      Then you should support men having mandatory vasectomies.

      @@jenkins5265 I’d seriously consider legislation that permanently alters a man’s ability to have children if he’s a habitual offender of God’s law. More than that, I’d support legislation that permanently alters a man’s ability to copulate outside the covenant of marriage. Marriage/family are fundamental institutions in our culture. We destroy them at our own peril. It’s wise to put limits on sin. That’s what laws are for.
