I just thought I should throw this out there given that I was going to go to law school at one point.

Overturning Roe v Wade did not outlaw abortion in the United States. It simply meant that SCOTUS could not rule that abortion was a right that is covered in the constitution. All the rights and responsibilities not covered in the constitution are delegated to the state governments under the 10th amendment.

So in other words, protesting in front of SCOTUS and giving them facts to consider makes zero sense. They have performed their duty. Demonstrations should take place at state capitol buildings now. In all likelihood, though, most states will pass some kind of abortion measure which should end up on the ballots in the near future. In my opinion it needs to be a bipartisan effort in each of the states where the end result is a bill that prohibits abortion as a primary means of contraception but includes provisions for the health of the mother, cases of incest and rape, or where the mother can show that other methods of contraception have failed or using them would result in health complications.

This is not a "war on women", just a court doing what a court is supposed to do. No one is coming for gay marriage next, divorce attorneys make too much money off of it and money is what drives this country forward.

Dozens of rights aren't in the Constitution because it needs to be interpreted. The Court just reaffirmed Miranda Rights, so you are against that, too? Where does it say the right for individuals to own guns? That was only a few years ago in Heller. Where does it say schools can't be segregated? Interracial marriage?

Long Dong stated he's going after Birth Control and Gay Marriage next.
