The same people protecting lobsters from feeling pain in hot water have no problem killing babies. It's obscene and perverse thinking.

What's amazing is that the viral lefties on here have yet to dispute my claim whatsoever because not only is it true, they also know it's perverse to think the way they do. It's similar to rioters wearing full face coverings when they loot. If it was okay, they wouldn't need to hide their faces. So come out of hiding guys and tell us why it's okay to kill babies but not harm the dignity of lobsters?

Yup . . . If a person destroyed a nest of tortoise shells on beachfront land where they were building a house, they'd probably be sentenced to 10 years in federal prison for such an offense against humanity, and not some minimum security country club but more likely somewhere like Dannemora

The whole thing is a non event.

If Rove vs. Wade got overturned abortion would move down to the state level. Then the people of each state would get to decide the rules based on their own values. Most states would allow some abortions (rape, incest, life of mother) and a few blue states would turn in death mills.

Those that disagreed with their own state strongly enough on this issue would be free to move to another state. Oh the horrors of freedom.

To me, that's exactly the way it's supposed to work. Most of this controversial stuff should not be settled at the federal level unless there's broad enough agreement to pass an amendment. The chances of that happening on abortion are 0%. If anything, better medical care, sonograms etc.. are moving the chain in the direction of pro life.

Can a state law be contrary to constitutional law?

75% agreement: that would be difficult since the Equal RIghts Amendment was fought out so strongly and its reach was tepid in comparison.

Answered this week by judge Barrett. The federal constitution sets the floor for national policy on areas controlled by the US constitution. The states can pass more onerous laws but not less onerous. For example, the feds can set mileage standards for cars but a state like CA can mandate a higher standard. Similarly, the feds have a national policy on airport screening. States cannot do less than what the national policy mandates but they could do more if they wished. This same principle applies to states and local municipalities.
