This is a great first step towards protecting human dignity and sanctity of innocent lives in the US.
Roe vs. Wade is a classical example of judicial activism. The right to privacy clearly doesn't have anything to do with abortion.

(And other things as well: dignity of humans, paternal rights [1], etc.) > You want to protect innocent lives? [...] You don't get to dictate what others should care about, but I agree with some of those, though often with a different framing. For example, I think in a well-functioning society, you should be able to raise a family on a single stream of income. This is a framing currently advocated by people like Bake Masters (the AZ US Senate candidate). Elizabeth Warren (who, unlike Masters, is a left-wing politician) has also used this framing in her 2004 book titled "The Two-Income Trap" [2]. > christofascists That's a personal attack, which I don't appreciate. Also, despite the Bible quote in my bio, I'm not a Christian.
