The abortion rights groups have to make it understood that Roe v. Wade is the only reasonable decision in regard to abortion. Even the prevention of late term abortion are unconstitutional. I don't care if an extremist court is saying the laws are constitutional, they are not!
Casey stands because it is concerned with minors and parents or guardians are required to supervise a minor's health.
But, all this other mess is just that.
The anti-abortion movement seeks to have the government decide how to define life. That is not the function of the government, that is the function of physicians.
If the government is going to define life, then when a person is on a heart-lung machine during coronary artery by pass are they alive?
When Dick Cheney was kept alive with a battery pack was he truly alive because he didn't have a pulse. The reason Dick Cheney was considered alive was because his mind still worked.
When a person has a Living Will that states when he or she is unable to direct their own body they do not want extraordinary means to maintain a heart beat through a feeding tube, is that legal?
The only concern the government has is to define a citizen. A citizen is defined by a birth certificate. It used to be defined by a name in the family Bible. And before there was literacy a person was a citizen if they could support their own life in the wilderness. But, at no point in time today or in the past was a person considered a citizen because they were a dividing cell in a woman's uterus. That is not realistic, it is highly invasive to privacy rights and seeks to control the life of a human being that happens to be female.
Today, medical scientists can grow ears on mice. They can grow skin for healing wounds, they can transfuse blood to deliver oxygen, they can do many, many things that require 'entities' of life.
We sustain life through medical and surgical intervention. The future to the degree of which life can be sustained with quality of life is unknown.
When the government takes over defining LIFE instead of citizenship it is a very dangerous thing. Would Frankenstein be considered a life? Would a clone be considered life? Could the entire country be replaced with the Perfect Aryan Master Race grown in a test tube while the imperfect humans are burned in a crematory?
Governments are NOT suppose to define what a life is or a life isn't. It is suppose to determine when a person is a citizen. When the abortion rights folks begin to defend citizenship and not fight for abortion they will win their arguments again and again.
Roe v Wade is the law of the land and there is no reasonable cause to see it differently. A person is a citizen when they are born and not when they are conceived.
If we are to define life as a fertilized human embryo, that creates all kinds of problems. We can then say which embryo is a life. If we define life as an embryo what then is the sperm before the embryo is fertilized. What is the ovum before it is fertilized? Can a contraceptive diaphragm be considered a lethal weapon to stop life from happening?
If the USA government starts to define life it is a very slippery slope and more than likely it would reek havoc in our society from every wing nut under the sun.
Can aN in vitro fertilization clinic be legal or will an in vitro fertilization clinic be the only place a person can conceive an embryo? Guarantee a fertilized ovum?
The government does not belong in the business of deciding what is life, it's only interest is when is a person a citizen. That is what Roe V Wade decided. It didn't provide women with rights other than to have an abortion in a sterile clinic where their lives weren't at risk. Roe v Wade never made a determination about the beginning of life; all those arguments came when a political movement sprang up around extremism.
Roe v Wade delineated between the extreme oppression of women to have a clean and sterile environment to sustain their health DURING an abortion. In that understanding is a right for a woman to continue being a healthy citizen of the USA.
Roe v Wade made no determination about a fetus being a citizen nor should it. Over the years following Roe v Wade and realizing the extremism "The Sath" has with religion a political movement garnered support and was able to harness money for candidates. It has absolutely nothing to do with the role of government, it is about money and power. Just that simple.
