...the Supreme Court is playing god. I also believe Thomas has been siding with women as Ginsberg would have just so on he can be anti-women with this opinion.
The justices, except for Roberts, is deciding that the neural tube development at six weeks is the benchmark for a viable fetus rather than the 24-25 week which has been standard for any decision for the past fifty years.
FETAL PAIN has always been the issue. That developed out of the decision regarding late term abortions. NOW, the Justices, except for Robert and the three thinking judges, are attempting to move the benchmark to the first development of any nervous tissue at six weeks.
By the ninth week, (click here) the brain appears as a small, smooth structure. Over the course of pregnancy, the structure of the brain will change as it grows and begins to form the characteristic folds that designate distinct brain regions. Changes in brain anatomy reflect dramatic changes at the cellular level. Neurons in the different brain regions begin producing the chemical signaling molecules that will enable communication between nerve cells. The fiber pathways that will become the brain’s information superhighway are forming. The cells that will make up the neocortex—the part of the brain that coordinates sight, sound, spatial reasoning, conscious thought, and language—begin to communicate

Week 6: The neural tube closes (click here)
Growth is rapid this week. Just four weeks after conception, the neural tube along your baby's back is closing. The baby's brain and spinal cord will develop from the neural tube. The heart and other organs also are starting to form.
Structures necessary to the formation of the eyes and ears develop. Small buds appear that will soon become arms. Your baby's body begins to take on a C-shaped curvature
Five CRACKPOTS on the court are attempting to argue there is no way of knowing if the fetus feels pain at six weeks, hence, that has to stand as the correct place for abortion.
It is taking the law into their own hands. The Rule of Law regarding fetal development has always been 24 to 25 weeks of development is the first time a fetus can feel pain because it is when the brain and spinal cord HOOK UP.
The FIVE CRACKPOTS, probably led by Alito, are assaulting the right of a full citizen of the USA in favor of the standard of an unborn fetus. Now, is the time to end all requirements for abortion and go back to patient - doctor confidentiality.
The EXTREMIST argument is based on the idea that SPASTIC movements “in utero” like thumb sucking is all conscious movement.
IT IS A LIE!!!!!
The Five Crackpots are ignoring the Rule of Law and a 50 year precedent to overthrow this democracy for a Christian theocracy. They should be impeached!!!
