The unborn have no rights.
Roe DOES NOT protect the fetus during the 3rd Trimester. As I said a fetus/ unborn has no rights.
Roe said that states could take a compelling interest
And what or whom is that "compelling interest" for Minnie?
Is it to inconvenience the mother?
Is it to override the decision of a doctor and his "patient"?
Is it to protect a 'lump of cells and body tissue' from being discarded in the dust bin?
OR Minnie, is it to protect a PERSON.... a human being which is a 3rd trimester fetus?
What in the world would be the point of the language in Roe which gives the states the ability to deny a late term abortion (short of an emergency health situation with the mother) unless it was to extent RIGHT and PROTECTION for fetus (human fetus)?
When Roe was decided Roe took into concideration the woman and her doctors right to privacy and the states right in potential citizen.
Well, isn't a "potential citizen" a POTENTIAL PERSON at the moment of conception as well? But not to belabor that point here; if it is as you say a "potential citizen" then you admit that there are rights attached to citizens, correct?
Roe decided the first two trimesters the woman and her doctor decided. States could only take interest in the woman’s health during the second trimester but not the first trimester.
States could take a compelling interest in the last trimester and ban abortion unless the pregnancy threatened her life or irreparable damage to a major bodily function would occur if the pregnancy continued.
I have never said otherwise regarding the language in Roe. But what you said earlier is that the 3rd trimester fetus has not rights, and clearly that isn't even logical if the state has the power to protect the fetus at that point. Where has there ever been a law preventing the removal of a spleen or wisdom tooth? Clearly those "body parts" have no protections because clearly they are not as you admit "potential persons".
Several states have no laws regarding abortions.
Well, when Roe is overturned there will lots of new state laws either providing for abortions on demand on the last day of gestation in the 9th month for the selfish monsters who would do that--- or states which will protect these human beings as they should be.
