Bizarrely agreeing with Pierre here that a fundamental right (if it is at all) shouldn’t rely upon 9 judicial appointees skewing really hard at a 200 year old document and a right to privacy overturning the opinion of 9 judicial appointees 50 years earlier.

If a democracy wants to legalise abortion it should have a clear law that states the circumstances under which it is so enacted by it’s elected representatives only.

While there is a role the judiciary to interpret law, it’s scope, purpose and intent it’s simply preposterous to claim that the US constitution written before abortion was a safe medical procedure intended to legalise it.
