It is legalized murder and Roe V Wade must be overturned Originally Posted by oilfieldaceAre you ok with a woman having a medical abortion (i.e. morning after pill) within the first week or two of knowing they were pregnant? If so, how many weeks would you be ok with allowing this?
It is the law.
Just like the second amendment.

The enumeration in the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people.
The right to an abortion is very much the same as the right to bear arms. Originally Posted by grean

And the SC didn't use the 9th Amendment to back up Roe vs Wade, it whole cloth conjured its opinion from the 14th.
If your interpretation was correct, there would have been no need for the Roe vs Wade: it would have been redundant. Before Roe vs Wade, abortion was considered a crime equivalent to murder in many states and thus fell under the purview of the 10th Amendment allowing states to prosecute it as a crime.
