Seeing it's Independence day I'm going to check in on Roe vs Wade.

Ok, this is a Constitutional issue here and a Constitutional issue ONLY. It actually has nothing whatsoever with abortion, the beginning of life, the morality of abortion or 'women's rights' whatsoever

If you believe life begins at conception I don't want to hear about it. If you believe on abortion on demand, I don't want to hear about it. If you believe in 'You rape 'em, we scrape 'em, no fetus can beat us' I don't care. Save if for someone else. Men having a say in it? Nope. Save it for someone else. I do NOT want to go there.

This is about the Constitution of the United States and the Constitution ONLY.

I am NOT a Republican. I am a true Old School libertarian and a hard nosed Constitutionalist  I ALWAYS err of the side of liberty.

Roe vs Wade was a case of SCOTUS overstepping their boundry to begin with. They never should have touched the case in 1973  because abortion is not even mentioned in the Constitution. Instead they, in violation of the very document they were supposed to uphold and defend, they decided to hear the case and ruled on it.

If you want to figure this out it's really quite easy. Open 'The Directions' and go to the Bill of Rights paying close attention to Amendment 9 and a much closer attention to Amendment 10. 

9th Amendment: The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. 

10th Amendment:  The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.

Based on the fact that SCOTUS was ruling on something that is not even mentioned in the Constitution, back in 1973 they were overstepping their bounds. The recent decision put the issue back where it belongs, in the hands of the States and if no laws forbidding abortion are enacted in a particular state, then it becomes up to the individual to decide.

From what I can see, good call on the part of SCOTUS. It's a 5 to 4 decision that leads me to believe that 4 of our justices were good with ignoring States Rights.

For those of you that want to get involved either way, you do so at a state level. The feds have no say in the matter.

TL;DR  as hey should have, SCOTUS threw it back to where it belongs. It is now a state issue. If the state doesn't outlaw it then it becomes and individual choice.
