Conservatives have used 'states' rights' as a means of holding the rest of us back for decades. We need to end that concept and make it clear that people's rights are not state-by-state determinations. That voids the whole concept of being a 'free citizen' and makes America into a bunch of little fiefdoms. Unacceptable.

"Letting each state decide what they want" isn't how the contry is supposed to be ran. It's supposed to be ran with certain recognitions of inalienable rights, as in no one gets a say in them. In fact, they wouldn't even start the country until they agreed to put at least 10 things that couldn't just be voted away into the Constitution. We've since added a few more, and ruled that many things fall under the scope of those explicitly written. Abortions were one of those things until a handful of religious zealots forced their beliefs on all of us, which incidentally is a violation of not just the 14th Amendment but the 1st as well. Turns out that the "leave it to the states!" people have no idea how our government actually works, in any particular way. Shocking, huh?

Tubal reanastomosis, is a surgical procedure that can reverse a tubal ligation, in about 1% of cases. The procedure involves reconnecting the fallopian tubes, but it's not always possible if the tubes are too damaged or there's not enough left. Vasectomies, on the other hand can be reversed with a success rate of 60-95%. A female can only get pregnant ONCE in 9 months. A male can cause multiple pregnancies EVERYDAY. Yet, it's always been "control the females" - with ZERO control over male bodies. All males should be forced to get a vasectomy upon hitting puberty if the point is to reduce abortions of unwanted pregnancies.

While the approach is a good one, the example is not so well chosen. Supporters of this "States Rights" can, with complete justification, say: "Well... THIS is set by the U.S. Constitution...

I totally understand the sheer lunacy to allow any political establishment to exercise control of their citizens' life, up to putting them in mortal danger, just "because we have the right"... but I fear from a purely legal point of view, it's hard to fight against it. You'd need political power to change that... and I do hope you will succeed in that. Sorry that I don't have any more constructive comment to offer.

not sure i recall accurately. but I THINK its the tenth amendment that states 'anything not covered by the constitution is to be determined by the states' which means states can make laws, and laws more restrictive than federal. the main issue is a ferally decided right, was walked back. and there has now been different responses by each state. some enshrined the freedom. Some which has citizen led initiatives allowed, have had a vote by the populace to get the right on the books. in states with GOP heavy legislatures, especially those without citizen led initiatives allowed. there are the draconian bans, and coverage of possible travel bans too, so leaving the state while pregnant isn't allowed, maybe even leaving the state as a female.....
