So, let's go back to you expanding on your thoughts on the body of Supreme Court rulings related to a woman's reproductive rights. Anyone with reasonable cognitive skills could figure it out fairly easily. So. I'm just saying.
I think the Supreme Court did the right thing to legalize abortion, but Justice Byron White (appointed by John Kennedy) wrote "I find nothing in the language or history of the Constitution to support the Court's judgment. The Court simply fashions and announces a new constitutional right for pregnant women and, with scarcely any reason or authority for its action, invests that right with sufficient substance to override most existing state abortion statutes." and Justice Rehnquist wrote, "To reach its result, the Court necessarily has had to find within the scope of the Fourteenth Amendment
a right that was apparently completely unknown to the drafters of the Amendment. As early as 1821, the first state law dealing directly with abortion was enacted by the Connecticut Legislature. By the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment in 1868, there were at least 36 laws enacted by state or territorial legislatures limiting abortion. While many States have amended or updated their laws, 21 of the laws on the books in 1868 remain in effect today"
If Justice Rehnquist is right, then it only means that our Supreme Court is just a complete mess.
