Repealing Roe v Wade is a great thing, not a terrible thing. Highly contentious issues absolutely should be left to the states to decide, not forced upon them at a federal level.
- PsylentKnight 2y agoDamn TIL, guess we need to roll back desegregation and abolition too cause that was so contentious
- SketchySeaBeast 2y agoIsn't slavery supposed to be a state's rights issue?
- Terr_ 2y agoOnly in the sense that slave-owners tried to take away the rights of other states to not participate and assist in slavery, and then wrote their own constitution which forced every state to have slavery forever no matter what. ... But in the conventional sense of increasing state autonomy, no. :p
- newfriend 2y agoFeel free to propose a Constitutional Amendment on abortion and get it ratified. Until then, it's a state's rights issue.

- Terr_ 2y ago> Highly contentious issues absolutely should be left to the states to decide Alas, if/when the Republican party gathers enough power to finally pass a federal abortion ban (or an indirect Fugitive Pregnancy Act) that "principle" will vanish into the memory-hole with all the rest. The minority who sincerely held the belief will be sidelined, again. Another manifestation would be if state personnel and courts get conscripted into enforcing federal immigration policies.
