2. Constitutional right to privacy is the kryptonite to the religious zealots ban on any free choice

that causes no harm. From books to zygotes, right to privacy trumps the banning zealotry.

5. Well

Said. Thanks for that.

[Alexander Of Assyria]

15. Privacy. Too long ignored, a powerful force if applied as intended...protect freedom. Privacy

Law.

Social media and the internet don’t want you to know any of that…removing privacy is their profit margin. Removing privacy by government is their control.
Get it back, demand privacy back from them all!

17. Now, it's my state's (FL) turn

It's time for these zealots to respect the right to privacy that is expressly written in the Florida Constitution, Article 1, Section 23, and as the voters of Florida have reaffirmed at the ballot box that it does indeed protect access to abortion care.

18. That's the kryptonite...50 States, not sure how many have such a clause...50States

makes for a lot of slightly different wording, slightly different judicial interpretations and completely different laws.

It is one nation, not 50…or is it??

7. Back Story: In 1972 Montana called a state constitutional convention. At that time Montana was very

Democratic. The convention had a cross section of the population with large numbers of women making policy.The resulting document is very progressive. The legislature has been trying, emphasize trying, to bully the supreme court for the last several sessions with no success. In the midterms the citizens reelected incumbent judges. This court has no intention of cutting the legislature any slack. I predict further similar decisions.

Bravo!

9. So happy and proud of our Supreme Court.

Huge sigh of relief for the women in Montana.

10. That's good.

I wonder how men would respond to a law that forbids treatment of prostate cancer.

[BonnieJW]

12. Or

Treatment for ED. No more little blue pills

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

13. Better yet, no prostate treatment AND no blue pill.

if they're any thing like Idaho's statehouse (not quite, I think), it'll just be a reason to dig in and double down.

Edited to add Montana's to modify lege.

19. These privacy clauses in state constitutions leave little wiggle room for RW misinterpretation.

Is there something in the One Federal Constitution, supreme over the 50, that could be inferred or interpreted to be a powerhouse privacy thing?

21. I wasn't clear on which legislature I was referring to so edited post.
