Constitutional Rights: I Told You So

One benefit of my new life: I cannot expect anyone pay  attention to anything I day. Used to be I got so frustrated at having good ideas which no one would agree with only to see them latched onto by someone else. Then I would be told how right I was.

Folks, overruling Roe must lead to overruling the federal right to privacy. Looks like my opinion is not alone:

GOP Crusade Against Abortion Could Lead To Contraception Bans:

One of the cases that’s coming up is Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 decision that said married couples have a right to contraception access. It struck down a Connecticut law that outlawed the use of birth control devices.

 Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-Tenn.) recently said it was “constitutionally unsound.” Arizona GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters’ campaign website said he would only support judges “who understand that Roe and Griswold and Casey were wrongly decided, and that there is no constitutional right to abortion.”

 There’s legislation in Louisiana right now that could test the Supreme Court’s commitment to Griswold. The bill would make abortion a homicide and charge women who undergo the procedure with murder. It could also criminalize certain forms of contraception ― such as IUDs and Plan B ― because it would change the state’s legal definition of a person to a fertilized egg.

The Republicans talk about freedom - the freedom to possibly kill others so long as they need not wear a mask, freedom to shoot down other people so they can preserve their fantasy of overthrowing a tyranny - but they will take away your freedom of privacy from the government. For more on this, OTHER RIGHTS THE SUPREME COURT WILL GET RID OF BECAUSE THEY AREN’T DEEPLY ROOTED IN HISTORY AND TRADITION.
