We're not talking about letting a kid decide if they can get a tattoo, we're talking about a girl giving birth. It's her body and it's important to think about her as well.

Reality 3,121 Posted June 6, 2022 There is virtually no scenario where an abortion should be performed on their minor child without the parent(s) knowing. I can't believe we have gotten to this point. People love creating these one-off scenarios out of thin air but, it's all bullshlt. The law should always be to contact the parents, the made up scenarios aren't any of your business, it is their parents business though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And agree nobody should have any position for life. except your mom I've read multiple reasons why the lifetime term is outdated. The main one being that because of random timing(who retires, who dies...), the court may not reflect the will of the populace of the country. IE, since the judges are nominated by the President, one president might get multiple nominations, while another might not get any. The proposal I've read is that since there are 9 justices, each would get one 18 year term. It's staggered by 2 years, so Justice A is seated to the bench, then 2 years later, Justice B is seated, and so-on and so-on until you get to Justice I, 16 years later. Then at the 18 year mark, Justice A's term ends, and he's replaced by Justice A2. As they are replaced every 2 years, every president gets to appoint 2 justices, which represents the will of the people who elected him/her(look how progressive I am by saying her). As an aside, I think this is one that the Forefathers got wrong. If I was in charge in 1781, I would have made it that the court gets to nominate who they want for judges and then Congress approves or vetos their nominations. Ideally, the court nominates people they believe are best suited to upholding our Constitution and laws. Today we've reached the extreme in partisanship when it comes to the court and it's the last place we should have partisanship. Of course this is purely a thought exercise, because I would bet you, me and our grand children will be dead long before there is any significant change to how the court works. Feel free to bump and rub in my face if I'm wrong. Also, if I could have...I would have impeached my Mom from her lifetime position as my Mom years ago.

Crazy that the most important thing SCOTUS does, constitutional adjudication, is something that the Marshal court granted to themselves and isn't even in the Constitution. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted June 24, 2022 2 minutes ago, iam90sbaby said: Officially overturned. Eat sh!t libtards. If you are pro life, load your weapons. The Supreme Court on Friday overturned Roe v. Wade, effectively ending recognition of a constitutional right to abortion and giving individual states the power to allow, limit, or ban the practice altogether. The ruling came in the court's opinion in Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health Organization, which centered on a Mississippi law that banned abortion after 15 weeks of pregnancy. The Republican-led state of Mississippi asked the Supreme Court to strike down a lower court ruling that stopped the 15-week abortion ban from taking place. "We end this opinion where we began. Abortion presents a profound moral question. The Constitution does not prohibit the citizens of each State from regulating or prohibiting abortion. Roe and Casey arrogated that authority. We now overrule those decisions and return that authority to the people and their elected representatives," Justice Samuel Alito wrote in the court's opinion.
