This reply isn't really to Drew, but more to respond to a general question about it for all of you. I've not seen anyone else respond so I figure I'll say something as one of the only vocal members who is on "the right".

I haven't been posting because this isn't an open discussion. The vast majority of users on this forum all say those with similar views to me are evil and spout all the ways you (generalization, not you personally) are right in this. It for me comes down to what is the law? The Constitution never protected abortion. That was clearly laid out in the opinion that ordered the overturning of RvW. All of you, read the opinion if you didn't, it is worth it. Don't read the headlines and the social media talking points but read the actual opinion. Even if you don't agree with it, it was spelled out clearly why it was ordered as it was.

Fact is, many states had abortions considered illegal before RvW. From this list, the oldest is actually from 1849! This means those states can operate independently as they were designed to do when this country was founded. The only thing the ruling did was remand power back to the states, where it should be.

To respond to some of the other points brought up by others, it really boils down to the difference between capitalism and socialism. Most conservatives aren't socialists. The government is not to be trusted because it only wants more and more power. The more it is given the less we are able to self manage. The more it manages the closer to socialism/communism we are. While I'm not truly a libertarian, I do lean that way and believe the federal government should go back to just guarding our shores and delivering the mail. The states should be free to manage themselves as they see fit.

I'm not mad the California wants to ban ICE engines before I think we are ready for it. That it their prerogative and are free to do so! I just won't live there. I'm not even mad that they will allow things I don't think should be legal, again it is their prerogative.
