I’ve always felt it should be federally legal, but much of the country doesn’t so not possible now and state laws are a protection. Congress could do things to make it legal but really it’s up to the Supreme Court and not much power there.

Throughout history implementing power to the states has been a stepping stone towards nationwide laws. We could see a time when the government decides to make abortion illegal across the country. In the event that happens, power to the states is a good thing until the majority sentiment shifts towards making it federally legal again.

Abortion should be legal federally. It is not and we’re beholden to the Supreme Court. If the majority of the country wanted abortion to be illegal, we’ll be begging for states’ rights.

Over time it will. More exposure and more education. More people are talking about it. Especially after this Trump-Biden scare.

Education is the key

Totally agree but one of the reasons you aren’t seeing RCV being passed across the country regardless of it being a bi-partisan issue is because neither side wants to lose the power of a two party system and the blind allegiance it creates.

Slavery is the same as abortion pills? Wow. Regarding rights, more than half of the US is women. Many women also don’t support abortions. They have the same right to voting for what they want in the state they live.

Mail order abortion pills.

Nobody will have to travel out of country for an abortion. That’s a moot point based on fear mongering.

I was indeed incorrect about people being jailed related to abortion bans. Those laws and cases are stupid. Their laws should only apply to access and not after-care.

I’m suggesting we could take a more granular approach to some laws at a federal level. Not all.

The 2nd amendment was not intended for only militias, but also individuals. Point being, would you not find power to the states appealing in that regard?

I think people have relied on the federal government to protect them too much and let their individual states become radicalized. Now they have to be involved in effecting change within the state they live. In the long term I think this is a good step toward more progressive state governments.

said the blind loyalist

By giving power to the states, you will always have some states that allow abortions and some that do not, hence why we have the problem to begin with. Since each state is part of the same country, access to abortions will always be available, albeit at the cost of traveling to a nearby state.

There was a lot of fear of people going to jail or getting in trouble for doing this, which hasn’t happened.

We’re too big of a country to not take a more tribal approach to laws. Imagine if the tables were turned and we could decide which states had access to guns. I would think many would be in favor of this.

Not sure how you came to that conclusion. Dems want you to believe that power to the states will eliminate access to abortions, when it seems this data shows that regardless of the overruling, abortions are still accessible. People aren’t getting fired up because access is being limited. People are getting fired up because they think access is being eliminated for people in certain states.

It hurts Republicans because they didn’t get exactly what they want, but I think it hurts Democrats more because it minimizes one of their greatest scare tactics.

fair, but it’s not the catastrophe that dems want you to believe so you vote for them.

that’s an interesting interpretation. enjoy the democrat circle jerk. it’s actually saying that power to the states isn’t as bad as people thought it would be.

It’ll be interesting to see the behavioral science effect of this even if it’s not requiring the signee to take a specific action. They could start putting out data, albeit inaccurate, that people are leaning right and that might cause uneducated voters to make similar decisions.

Yikes. Not good for the abortion legislation carrot that dems have been dangling in front of voters.

I’m sorry, what? Living in reality is happiness. Pretending the world is what it is not is depressing because one day you’ll have to come to terms with reality and it’ll shatter you.

Explain to me how your country has come into existence and remains peaceful (assuming it’s peaceful) without violence.

I’m not saying peace doesn’t exist, but it’s yin and yang. The world isn’t flowers and rainbows and cannot possibly be that as our species currently exists today. If you believe that, then you are living in a bubble and willfully ignorant of human nature when peace or survival is threatened. Everything is violent when it has to be.

You have the privilege of being peaceful because of the threat of violence. We’re still just animals when it really comes down to it.

Just think about what you said. How does that make any sense? The reason we exist is because our ancestors chose violence. Name any place in the world that didn’t have to protect themselves with violence.

The reason the recent generations in developed countries have been protected from violence is because of past violence, the threat of future violence, and current proxy violence.

Violence is just a natural part of our world, even at the cellular level.

Yeah it’s crazy. Traditionally leases are a bad financial decision. I’m currently in the market for a midsize-large SUV and prices are crazy so I’m not targeting the vehicles I actually want. I’m afraid to buy car now and end up underwater on a loan if and when prices settle down and I’m in a position to upgrade to something bigger/newer, so I’m considering a lease so at least by the end of the term I don’t owe money to the bank.

Now think about the housing market. Rental nation. Just throwing away money. No generational wealth for our kids. Keep pumping out slaves to capitalism.

This is exactly what they want. Put it on the citizens who are struggling to make ends meet and take care of their families to find time to research politics.

As a leader of the country it is your responsibility to inform the people about what you are doing and why. It behooves politicians to keep the people in the dark.

There is no pride in having to do extraneous research in order to understand politics. You should expect more from your leadership.

Politicians need to be honest about why they do things. Let people make up their minds based on actual politics instead of false narratives.

Politicians need to be honest about what they’re afraid of happening if they don’t support Israel.

Guilty. Show me the almanac. I don’t trust nobody on the internet. Everybody speaks like they’re an expert.
