. . . she has the right to choose if she’s going to have unprotected sex.

There isn’t anybody advocating that someone be ‘forced’ to go full term on a pregnancy if their health is in jeopardy.

You can always go to a state that does have them, you can either move there if that is a major concern or just travel there for the procedure. You act like you would have to row across the Atlantic or something, come on, you are talking several hours in a car or bus.

How many other things should we leave up the individuals? Seat belts? Car seats? Taxes? Paying for groceries? Stopping for ‘red lights’?

I live in a state that ‘forces’ me to wear a seat belt, when not wearing one would only cause injury to ‘me’ and yet you don’t want any type of regulation for a procedure that ‘always kills someone else’? A huge percentage of them just for the sake of convience….

What’s so horrible about that, is that a state should not be able to tell a woman how she should decide regarding her health options and life. It’s not a state’s rights issue, it is a constitutional issue.

Should a state have the right to tell its residents that it can not leave the state to have an abortion in a neighboring state? No. Then isn’t it an unnecessary burden to add to women who live away from the border of states that do have abortions? If your logic is to leave it up to communities to decide what is right for the women in their community in regards to abortion, my point is even simpler, leave it up to the individual. There is no state or federal law saying that a woman has to have an abortion, it’s up to her.

Your reaction that it should be up to the states is exactly what I was saying that the Right wants to wear away at Roe, till it’s basically gone, and this is apparent in this Alito’s questionaire. Grow some balls, take Roe head on. Of course that is a more direct, honest and harder battle for y’all.

Sure we can, even if Roe is overturned it would just revert back to the states to regulate as their constituents see fit. I don’t have a problem with that, that is where it should be. There might be some states that place what they believe to be common sense restrictions on abortions, other states will leave it as is, others might even remove some restrictions and still some may outlaw it unless the physical health of the mother is at stake.

We live in a big country with lots of different opinions, most of the time these opinons appear to be regional in nature, why shouldn’t individual states have their residents vote on the issue and settle it that way? I just don’t see what would be so horrible about that.
