Roe v. Wade Overturned

[Oerets]

Folks paying attention have proof today that the GQP plays the long game effectively. For fifty years they have been stacking courts and ginning the base to vote for this day. Showing they will not stop until their goals are accomplished.

This is just the beginning!

Next, fertilized eggs and zygotes will be deemed "persons". Watch for it, and the billboards advertising legal services for them.

Has anyone responded to this being an unconstititional application of religious test of/for law?

I don't see how it could be otherwise.

It's de-centralized authority, bumped it back to States Rights vs Federal.

Ultra-conservative Kansas voted Pro-Choice, by popular vote.

I did not vote, because I'm exempt from having children (sigh).

Constitution Article VI sec 3 is where religious tests are banned, but they are talking about religious tests to hold public office. What you are talking about would have to be the establishment clause, found at the beginning of the first anendment: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion...." Traditionally the Supreme Court has used words like endorse, indoctrinate and fostering entanglement to describe government actions that violate the amendment. And the court has been sensitive to even indirect coercion motivated by religion. If the current court followed generations of Supreme Court precedent, there is no way the frankly religious Alabama ruling could stand. But the current court, of course, is pretty much a 'precedent be damned' court.

If states want to mandate reproduction, they should be on the hook for medical and financial support.
