He claims that no such right as abortion has existed in American history to have an abortion.

 

Hello McFly, Women were not allowed to f'n vote to clod! Of course men were not going to grant women a right that did not concern men, why would they? Heck, they did not allow birth control. No legal right to birth control existed either. 

 

Alito is a scum bag. This is bad law

It gets better. This sounds like an argument Marg T Green would make 

Quote

 

"Samuel Alito is reaching back four centuries to use Sir Edward Coke as a moral authority on abortion — a man who believed in witches and believed that they were working with the devil and believed that witches should be murdered by the state and he helped to make sure that they were murdered by the state in England," O'Donnell explained.

"So when you are justifying outlawing abortion, because people conducting witch trials also believed that abortion should be against the law, you are morally lost. That is what the twisted reasoning of Samuel Alito has delivered to us in the first Supreme Court opinion in history revoking a constitutional right," he explained.

The inescapable conclusion is that a right to abortion is not deeply rooted in the Nation's history and traditions. On the contrary, an unbroken tradition of prohibiting abortion on pain of criminal punishment persisted from the earliest days of the common law until 1973. The Court in Roe could have said of abortion exactly what Glucksberg said of assisted suicide: 'Attitudes toward [abortion] have changed since Bracton, but our laws have consistently condemned, and continue to prohibit, [that practice].'

Respondents and their amici have no persuasive answer to this historical evidence. 

 

Oh really? How about the fact that women did not have a say AT ALL in policy making? He literally relies almost exclusively on law written when men were totally in control. How pathetic.

Unalienable rights:

 

Life

Liberty

Pursuit of Happiness 

 

not all that complicated really 

Which means a women's body is her body.

Here he makes a "Pro-Choice" argument, but says the choice should be with voters of states, not with the women themselves 

 

Quote

Ordered liberty sets limits and defines the boundary between competing interests. Roe and Casey each struck a particular balance between the interests of a woman who wants an abortion and the interests of what they termed 'potential life.' But the people of the various States may evaluate those interests differently.

The woman is not at risk of losing her LIFE in most pregnancies.  But...that's specifically why there's an exception for the woman's life in most, if not all, abortion prohibiting laws.  Once again Tibs....not complicated.

So why isn't this exception in every single abortion prohibiting law?

You said liberty and pursuit of happiness, carrying an unwanted child in your body against your will violates that. 

 

And, again, why does Alito lean so heavily on laws from when women were treated as an extension of the husbands? That's basically absurd.

Well, oh no!!! 

 

Respondents and the Solicitor General also rely on post-Casey decisions like Lawrence vs Texas and Obergefell vs Hodges. These attempts to justify abortion through appeals to a broader right to autonomy and to define one's 'concept of existence' prove too much. Those criteria, at a high level of generality, could licence fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like.

Exactly why this is a stupid can of worms to

open. There isn’t support. I also hate that we’ll energize the voting public on the state and federal level to campaign on, once again, a subject people don’t care about.

 

The highest court is just an extension of left right bull#### at this point. I only see political motivations for this. I also find it funny that for years we had to hear about Donald Trump the expert negotiator, who literally promised to nominate judges who would overturn Roe, and act like he didn’t use his leverage. He held the key to the pinnacle of these judges careers and you think he didn’t have a little quid pro quo? Not worth the turmoil and distraction from real issues. Abortions will continue at the same clip.

The problem is that everyone should agree with everything always,  and once something is, it should never change, except of course when it does!  We wouldn’t need the SC to begin with.

 

Thanks a lot, Framers of the Constitution!!!

So in your view....you can take someone's life because it makes you "happy"? Come on Tibs. You know full well what the issue's about. As a person who's shown great compassion for the concept of Liberty, another word for Freedom, when speaking about slavery, I find it puzzling that you wouldn't be the first one to also stand up for life.
