Showing Original Post only (View all)Poor RBG is spinning in her grave. [View all]
Every time this illegitimate SCOTUS comes out with another horrifying ruling I think of RBG, but especially today.
She thought abortion should have been decided on a different case, and based on equal protection, or sex discrimination, not privacy, because she said that basing it on equal protection wouldn't allow it to be overturned. Basing it only on privacy wasn't as strong a foundation. She said that only women become pregnant, so discrimination on that basis is a violation of equality.
She said:
The decision whether or not to bear a child is central to a womans life, to her well-being and dignity. It is a decision she must make for herself. When Government controls that decision for her, she is being treated as less than a fully adult human responsible for her own choices.
