Maybe, but not by the court system. That's called a repeal.

You're splitting hairs. There's not a single human being in this country who actually cares about whether it's been overturned or repealed or froozed. All that they care about is that they've been protected from their state governments one morning, and not protected the next.

  Then maybe they should live in a state that agrees with them. That's sort of the entire point of being organized the way we are as a nation.

    Yeah that’s not how human rights are supposed to work

      I don't have a right to self-defense in several states, either, so I left those states. It's pretty simple.

        Where is this state where you have the right to self defense? From what I can gather, the police can generally execute and otherwise harm commonfolk with impunity nation wide. Some states let you buy more equipment to go out in a blaze of glory with, but that's a pretty poor consolation prize.

        Mine. Guy got off last year on killing a cop who was trespassing. Didn't even get charged. Pretty epic.

        Try killing a cop who is threatening you at a traffic stop, and see how that works out for you. You'll quickly discover that your state also has some hard limits on that right, they are just drawn at different points than the states that you mistakenly think don't have a right to 'self-defense'. You can defend yourself anywhere, you just can't always kill people in 'self-defense' when you have other options available to you. (Related question: Does your state have a right to body autonomy, or is it in blatant violation of the fourth amendment?)

        My state extends the right to bodily autonomy to the unborn.

        That sounds like a euphemism for the persecution of basic medical care based on backwards religious superstition that anything growing where a baby would is assumed to be a human baby. IMO the Democratic Party has totally screwed up with this extremist "pro choice" framing, when the reality is mainly one of non-viable fetuses and only one medically-prudent choice.

        > IMO the Democratic Party has totally screwed up with this extremist "pro choice" framing 100% correct. > backwards religious superstition that anything growing where a baby would is assumed to be a human baby This is absolute bullshit. I'm an Orthodox Christian, extremely conservative, particularly on abortion, and a priest's wife I know had an abortion for an ectopic pregnancy, because it was non-viable and would have killed her. It's simply a matter of believing that the unborn are human and then acting rationally based on this belief. I wish more people could get this—rather reasonable—viewpoint through their thick skulls.
