While Eva Burch spoke on the Senate floor about her planned abortion, almost all of her GOP colleagues found something else to do

    But that doesn’t really make sense, there is no federal law about abortion, the constitution protects gun ownership.ax

      yeah, that’s my point.

      There was a federal law about abortion. We dont have it anymore.

        Except it was written nowhere near as explicitly.

          idk man it was pretty explicit, considering the fact that the second it was removed, legislation went into place in order to ban it on a state level. Seems pretty explicit to me.

            Wdym? The SCOTUS ruling was explicit, the constitution never mentioned it though.

              yeah, idk if you noticed, but generally, theres this pretty cool thing about the US government where its really fucking bloated, and so anything can come from anywhere. It’s not like amendments are set in stone either. I mean slavery would be a thing still otherwise, and women wouldn’t have rights.

      Technically, both gun ownership rights and abortion rights were based on supreme Court interpretation of the 2nd and 14th amendments (respectively). Given the reversal of the right to abortion under the 14th amendment, an argument could be made that a similar reversal is due for the 2nd amendment as well. The 2nd amendment could simply be interpreted to mean that gun ownership is only a right as part of a "well regulated militia.'. In my opinion, that is the plain meaning of the provision anyway, but I’m just a gun toting liberal that doesn’t get sexually aroused or validated by the size of my firearm.

        I’m with you my man, but you’re speaking to a bunch of 17-year old furry tumblerinas in here, you need to take that into consideration.
