[Abortion Thread] (POLL 4) A compromising position...

FOURTEENTH FUCKING AMENDMENT
JESUS

"No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; 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."

What that says is that the States may not abridge those rights granted by the Federal government. It does not say what those rights are; the Constitution and the Federal statutes do that. Nowhere in either the Constitution or the Federal code is the right to a medical procedure granted, therefore the 14th does not apply here.

"nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property,"
if that isn't the right to do with your own fucking body as you please what the actual fuck is
READ, DAMN IT.

However, the 9th amendment states that "The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people." This directly states that other rights exist that aren't explicitly stated in the constitution, which offers credibility to the unenumerated rights, including the right to privacy, and by proxy, the right to an abortion.

Then you'd know that it doesn't matter to most GOP members that Roe got overturned because most don't view women as people, and thus not applicable to the 14th.

Read the whole clause '...without due process of law'. Passing a law prohibiting something is due process of law.

But the 10th states that "The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the states, are reserved to the states respectively, or to the people." Nowhere in the Constitution is the power to regulate medical procedures delegated to the United States, nor is that power prohibitted to the states. Therefore, absent Federal law or amendment, the states have that power.

A medical procedure which is grouped in under the right to privacy, which is something the federal government can enforce based off of interpretations of the 14th amendment, an interpretation agreed to just the same as the incorporation of the bill of rights was to the states after the civil war.

Texas AG Ken Paxton celebrates abortion ruling by declaring agency holiday (Dallas News)

Attorney General Ken Paxton made June 24 an agency holiday to mark the Supreme Court decision to overturn Roe v. Wade and “commemorate the sanctity of life.”

AUSTIN — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton declared an agency holiday Friday to celebrate the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade.

In a news release commenting on the ruling, Paxton said June 24 will now be an agency holiday “in recognition of this momentous decision.” To mark the day, he closed the office and sent most of his 4,000 employee agency home.

According to an internal memo obtained by The Dallas Morning News, staff are required to stop working at noon.

“Today we celebrate life and the protection of the unborn with the U.S. Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade,” First Assistant Attorney General Brent Webster wrote. “Going forward, today will be an annual agency holiday to commemorate the sanctity of life.”

Employees required to work from home “due to non-discretionary reasons” must request approval to do so from Webster and coordinate with human resources “if approval is granted,” the memo added. Staff who must work will receive comp time, employees were told.

Paxton, a Republican, is up for re-election this year. He faces Democrat Rochelle Garza in the November general election.

Paxton has the power to release his employees, a former agency head told The News. This authority is usually exercised around the holidays or, on a more limited basis, to respond to extreme weather events, they said.

“I don’t know of anything that prevents him from doing so,” said Claire Bow, the former head of the State Office of Risk Management. “I cannot think of another example of the AG’s office closing and declaring an office holiday for a court ruling. That’s unprecedented to everything I know.”

The ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson, which was released Friday morning, struck down the Roe ruling creating a constitutional right to access abortion.

In 2021, Texas lawmakers passed a so-called trigger law to essentially outlaw abortion. The law will go into effect in 30 days; in the meantime, the state’s six week abortion ban remains in place.

This is the worst timeline. I'm both devastated and unsurprised that the court justices decided to declare that we don't deserve rights.

We can't be surprised by this anymore.

Rolling the "Supreme Court Overturns Roe v. Wade" thread into this one would put this one over the 500-page limit, I'm locking this and making that thread the new "[Abortion Thread]".

Considering how many were rammed in at the last moment, when Merritt Garland was rejected because A YEAR was too close to the end of Obama's presidency for him to get a pick?

This is tyranny. This is fascism. And half the population has lost the right to self-determination.
