Justice Samuel A. Alito Jr. of the U.S. Supreme Court in Washington, April 23, 2021. Justice Alito’s leaked draft opinion seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade relies on a specious states rights argument.
The distinction comes to mind reading Justice Samuel Alito’s draft opinion seeking to overturn Roe v. Wade and the accompanying cheers from abortion foes. It is a principal echoed by Republicans across the country, who proclaim, at least in this instance, that states are laboratories of democracy. Based on those 15 words, the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government has the power to imprison marijuana smokers and cultivators — regardless of its legality under state law – because its use and sale might have an effect on interstate commerce.
Alito justifies his reasoning by insisting abortion is different from other policy matters, as it pits the rights of a mother against “potential life,’’ has proven difficulty to apply universally, and is opposed in many states.
True, but the legal question is does a person have the right to determine their own health care choices for themselves, or does the state have the right to force you to bear a pregnancy against your will?
Yep.
Pot -- kettle
