Roe v. Wade is going down


Gotta love this from the comments section: Again, according to them, a 10 year old girl can't understand the concept of sex and gender education, can't read any books about racism and slavery, but can be forced to give birth and become a mother. Just take a moment and think about this.

Also, you have to be 21 years old to adopt a baby. But a 10 year old should definitely be forced into being a mother.

Sure, your pregnant 12 year old might have to carry her uncle’s baby to term. Sure, she might even be shot at while doing math in class. But at least now she won’t have to see books with rainbows on the cover or hear history about blacks people being enslaved!

Republicans, protecting us from America’s biggest problems!
 
Interesting look at the core argument.

 

Honest question: How is a ban on interstate travel for pregnant women any different from red flag laws that infringe on the right to keep and bear arms?

The right to travel and the right to bear arms are both enshrined in the constitution. Circumventing such restrictions can allow those who intend to kill innocents to carry out their plans. What is the difference?

Are pregnant women are just like mentally unstable people threatening violence, to you?

If your question is "do they both pose a threat to human life" then the answer is yes but my feelings are irrelevant to the question being asked. Both are clear infringements to constitutional rights. Why is one infringement acceptable when the other is not?

If you are in a state where marijuana is illegal, you are permitted to travel to a state where it's legal. No laws will have been broken. The same is true of women planning an abortion (which you likely intended to imply, but did not say). By contrast, I'm not aware of any state where it's legal to shoot people.

After all, you're a big believer in the law. This is a republic, right? You can't stop a person traveling to perform an act that is legal in the location to which that person travels.

I'm against any such travel restrictions but I also am highly suspicious of red flag laws that infringe on a constitutional right without first there being some sort of hearing where one is allowed to defend themselves. I even believe such a hearing would be a natural point for getting mental health help to some disturbed people. I hold the libertarian position on both issues but I'm asking those who favor one while at the same time opposing the other.

You also have a right to go to any public space, but someone can get a restraining order on you (via a judge) to keep from the front of their house without you being present. You then have the opportunity to challenge that order. If red flag laws work the same way (and I would be surprised if they do not), I don't have a problem with that. Are there any red flag laws that don't involve using judges? I have not researched them.
