I doubt the threats and harassment will work. As Kavanaugh should have learned during his confirmation hearing, his opponents are cruel, lying, scum who will say or do anything to win and if you give them an inch they will take a mile. If the Supremes back down on this then they will put their lives in danger on every decision that the left dislikes. Bad strategy. Far better to act with courage, undeterred, do what they thing are the right thing. If Roberts has any sense he will2 vote FOR the Alito opinion now to further cement the fact that the Supreme Court is not in the business of being intimidated. Doing so would enable him to retrieve his reputation and do the classiest thing possible for a Chief Justice – stand up for the independence and integrity of the court, not kneel down in a craven manner.

The Constitution is silent on a lot of things. Abortion is one of them. Not mentioned at all directly or indirectly. The Constitution defines the things that the Federal government can do. All things not specifically delegated to the Federal Government are delegated to the states and localities.This was done on purpose. The States CREATED the Federal Government to do certain thing but wanted to keep other things in the hands of the states. If you want abortion to be regulated by the Federal government there is a way to do so – pass a Constitutional Amendment. If abortion is as popular and well accepted as you think then it should not be too hard to pass. It has been done 27 times. But until that happens Abortion is delegated to the states, the government closer to the people of that region. Some states like CA or NY that love abortions will probably pass laws allowing not just abortion all the way to and including the moment of birth but as Virginia previously proposed for ten days after the infant has been born. Other states will eliminate abortion. Most states will probably allow abortion in the first trimester or until week 12 when the infant is clearly in a human form then restrict or eliminate abortions after that. But the people will make the decisions through their votes and the representatives they elect. That is how democracy operates.

Last I heard, it was not their own bodies, but the bodies of their unborn children, that they wanted to destroy.

This is also about state’s rights. If you don’t know what that is, look it up in the Constitution. Roe vs. Wade never should have been approved as the ruling goes against the Constitution which enumerates all the duties of the federal govt – whatever is not enumerated is left up to each state to decide and rule on. Since abortion is not mentioned in the Constitution, it is up to each state to decide. In those states that have overwhelmingly a majority of Christians, as well as others, who disapprove of abortion, than that state gets to outlaw it. There will still most likely be states which do make it legal such as California and New York. And many states may well follow Mississippi’s law and make it illegal after 16 weeks when a heartbeat can be detected. There’s really no reason for a woman to get an abortion after 4 months pregnant, as it is riskier and abortion should be done before that anyway just for that reason alone. If a woman was raped, iand especially if she’s about 14 y.o. she can still get an abortion so the choice is still hers and not forced on her.

Supporting infanticide is a sure-fire way to earn God’s wrath. No way to go through life, son.

Bullshit!
