    As a German this day when Roe v Wade was overturned was some kind of awkward. Because on the very same day voted our "Bundestag" for overturning the paragraph 219a. This was a law which prohibited doctors to do "marketing" for abortions. And "marketing" means in this case write it down on their website or inform your patients in any other way about it. This bill made it in fact for women who needed an abortion impossible to find doctors who could help them.
    So this day was very strange on the one side I cheered because our own law made a huge step forward and at the other side I was shocked about what happened to you in the USA.

    I’m personally anti abortion meaning I myself wouldn’t have an abortion (unless if it was required to preserve my life) but I also acknowledge that those are my beliefs and what is true for me is not necessarily true for another. It is wrong to impose your beliefs onto others. To an extent that in university I supported my friend through an abortion she got because I loved her and acknowledged that it was her life and her choice to make given how the unwanted pregnancy by an abusive loser would have affected the rest of her life.
    Fast forward 14 years; we both graduated, are married, have solid careers and have two children each in our marriages to our wonderful spouses. No one is in any position to say how having that unwanted pregnancy before she was ready to become a mother could have affected or derailed both her and that child’s life. Everyone is pro life however everyone should own the choice to be able to have a safe medical abortion if so required and the government should have no say in that.

      The separation of church and state was elaborated by the Supreme Court in Emerson v Board of Education:
      “The "establishment of religion" clause of the First Amendment means at least this: neither a state nor the Federal Government can set up a church. Neither can pass laws which aid one religion, aid all religions, or prefer one religion over another. Neither can force nor influence a person to go to or to remain away from church against his will or force him to profess a belief or disbelief in any religion. No person can be punished for entertaining or professing religious beliefs or disbeliefs, for church attendance or non-attendance. No tax in any amount, large or small, can be levied to support any religious activities or institutions, whatever they may be called, or whatever form they may adopt to teach or practice religion.

    I like this analysis of the issue, and I agree that this is the problem, in general, with how almost every issue in the West, especially in the U.S., is dealt with: reducing a very complex, multifaceted issue to only two sides, an either/or matter. Most of the time, the solution is neither of the two sides; it's a little bit of both together, or sometimes neither of them! This is what I noted from just daily analysis of how things turn out in my life. And then when I came to live in Asia, I noted that Asians think more in a circular manner, considering all the different facets of each issue and often seek to find ways to satisfy proponents of both sides. This two-sided view is a product of our two-party political system, as well as the ways in which bills are debated in the Senate and House and cases are debated in courts. Even high school students are trained to think in this manner, when they become involved in activities such as interscholastic debating. But reducing everything to only two sides usually means that the most creative and appropriate solutions to any problem never come up.

      cases even in states that do not allow it. Chill out America, we are turning into barbarians, hysterics at the drop
      of a hat. What is this the decision goes to the husband? 80+ percent of abortions happen each year because the
      woman was left alone with a pregnancy or simply an unwanted child. You really need to stop with men have all the control mentality. It is when bail women resort to abortion. Look at the actual stats. On average there are 1 million
      abortions a year, that is sickening. If men would step up and take responsibility the majority of abortions would

    In Peru where I live (South America), abortion has been illegal since forever and as a doctor you need to call a lawyer to check if it's really necessary to do it as a medical emergency, because if not, you will go to jail o loose your license. Due to that, Peru has one the highest rate of pregnancies. Even if it's an ectopic pregnancy you can't do an abortion, you have to call a lawyer and talk with your hospital, it's a long a process and during that time your patient can die. A lot of women have to go to illegal places so they can have an abortion, and at the end, they sadly die.

      If we keep doubling the population at least triple that number will children die each year. We will have food wars, actual food wars. More people will die. The earth will heat up faster and the earth will die.
      It's just simple math.
      Eventually abortion will be the norm. We've too. One child per family is gonna be the norm too.

    Other implications are removing the parents choice of morality and mercy when dealing with a severely compromised fetus... The loss of women who do not seek medical help or are not mentally strong enough to carry. And straining the already underfunded foster system, resulting in more hurt children. US doesn't even make the top 30 around the world.
    What will happen next is shaming the women who give up their child, because there is no interest in improving welfare programs, in those areas, by raising taxes. Then there's already the shame dished out for women who keep multiple children. All 3 options are a loss because it all boils down to "don't have s3x heathen!" Which is an impossibility, it's the reality of the situation, and the world is not this fairy tale of "YAY! we saved baby's!"

      3.1 million children die a year because of hunger .
      There's 50 million abortions a year. This actually needs to go way up.

    I had hoped Trevor would break this down to the core issue. At what stage of a child's development, are they considered "alive" or when are they considered "their own entity" and not simply "part of the mother"?
    In general, these deep conversations are too hard for people to delve into. It's unfortunate that these issues are spun so much that it becomes about the wrong thing.

    • @Graham_Wideman
      @Graham_Wideman Год назад +2

      Those issues are not that hard to delve into. The hard part is getting past the inflammatory rhetoric. As soon as you fall for "when is the embryo/fetus considered alive", the word "life" enters the picture, and stopping "life" invites in the word "killing", and "killing" has a bad reputation. But "life" does not have a particular starting point, not even at conception. After all, are sperms and eggs considered "dead"? Of course not. So are we to also find it criminal to allow sperms and eggs to die, or actively block their opportunity to develop? Presumably that's silly.
      The point is, we would indeed like to establish some agreed-upon juncture in development where we cement our moral and legal prohibition on killing fellow human beings. There is probably close to 100% agreement that the juncture should be at the latest, the birth of a baby (though that has not been true throughout cultures and history.)
      Those who want to establish that dividing line earlier than birth can be invited to give a rationale. Some will be persuaded that "viability" (or a date roughly corresponding to it) makes some sense -- the fetus is advanced enough that it _could_ become a baby without further biological support of the mother, and thus qualify for the considerations afforded a full-term baby.
      Others may assert that the borderline is earlier, and that usually relies on support of a religious or sentimental belief. Spelling out those beliefs explicitly would allow debate as to whether it's legitimate to impost those beliefs on others.

    • @whitefire06

      @@Graham_Wideman Yes. There are things that I think should be part of this conversation but are overlooked by most covering this.
      I don't know what the answer is to these questions which is why I'd like to see these conversations take place (preferably between people much smarter than the average).
      But I do know that scientifically, conception is when a new human being is created. So I would say at any point from then onward would be a starting point for contention.

  • @chrisglosser7318
    @chrisglosser7318 Год назад +25

    Ppl aren’t seeing the big picture here. Judicial review (deciding whether a law is constitutional or not) doesn’t stop unconstitutional laws from being passed, nor does it prevent the government from gathering evidence to bring charges against you. It buys you a dismissal of a the Supreme Court has ruled that the law is constitutional. But this is based on the status quo of the court.
    As an example, MI has a pre roe abortion law on the books. It was enacted in 1931. What the Supreme Court has just done is remove any grounds for dismissal of the state of MI tries to prosecute you. You no longer have that right. They can arrest anyone in the past 50 yrs who have had an abortion and try them for manslaughter.
    What the Supreme Court has done doesn’t remove your constitutional protection going forward, it’s as if it never existed at all
    So: if you live in NY, that gun law is still on the books. You had better abide by it. The cops can simply take your drivers license and wait until they get a reversal in some future ruling, round you up and prosecute you under that law.
    The authority of judicial review is solely based on an iron clad adherence to precedent. This court has just destroyed that illusion. In that way they have essentially ceded their right to judicial review because the electorate can’t take a chance of defying nominally constitutional laws

    • @LoganRexus
      @LoganRexus Год назад

      I’m not sure that’s true. The Constitution prohibits _ex post facto_ laws, so people cannot be prosecuted for actions that were not illegal at the time they were committed. Of course, some overzealous prosecutor might still try it. As you pointed out, the law was “on the books” at the time, just unenforceable.

    • @chrisglosser7318
      @chrisglosser7318 Год назад +2

      @@LoganRexus it’s not ex post facto (it was passed in 1931. Ex post facto says you can’t apply the law prior to when it’s enacted, and it was never removed). The courts have no constitutional authority to invalidate laws. Judicial review is simply a blanket statement that if a law is found to be unconstitutional, charges may be summarily dismissed. But you would have to cite, roe v wade (say) to get the dismissal. The da would respond with the Jackson ruling that invalidates your grounds for dismissal. So, you depend on building a case to support an acquittal in a trial. And yes, I fully expect some crazy DA to try this in some red state somewhere
