A majority of Americans want abortion to be legal in the first two trimestersIf the Supreme Court votes to overhaul abortion laws it would fulfil a Trump campaign promise, at the cost of women's freedoms Hey misogynistic fellas men shouldn't make laws for woman What a misleading narrative. Lawmakers are BOUND by SCOTUS CASE LAW delineating SECULAR Abortion RIGHTS. This narrative erroneously implies 'public opinion' on Abortion is legally relevant. That is just a fiction. Equally inapt is the unfounded proposition that 'conservative lawmakers can 'willfully defy' binding Federal LAW' because the former subjectively believe there is an ideological shift on the U.S. Supreme Court on the Abortion issue.' That is just absurd. Revoke SECULAR RIGHTS?
