Without the contrivance of "penumbral rights" from _Roe_, abortion would not be a constitutional right.<br /><br />Again, state laws to address discrimination (even by private actors) have been upheld because -- courts have held -- the state has an interest in preventing discrimination. It will be interesting to see if that state interest is powerful enough to burden the "privacy" right to abortion.LamLawIndyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06039906566586150323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-182542228604002552016-04-09T14:55:14.406-05:002016-04-09T14:55:14.406-05:00No LamLaw, as usual, you're legal analysis is ...No LamLaw, as usual, you're legal analysis is poor. The issue is whether the new law unduly burdens women seeking legal abortions. It does. And the expensive new requirement to inter the remains is just obviously trying to dissuade by making exercise of a legal right cost prohibitive. But go right ahead and try to muddle it up.

I know we all disapprove of how Congress does its job, but has anyone taken a poll to see how we feel about state legislators? Because I think they seem uneducated and a little too religious. Telling women about how God wants them to deal with their pregnancy is going too far. I know someone with a baby that will never walk, or talk. If you think that a baby like that shouldn't be aborted under any circumstances because of how you feel about God's plan, just keep it to yourself. A woman should be able to decide for herself. The Federal Courts are going to rule this overreaching law unconstitutional. When is Indiana going to stop embarrassing us all?

I think the video evidence on Planned Parenthood and the factual record of the Gosnell matter ought to stimulate our Legislature to really go after Betty BabyKiller's organization and give them some serious burdens. People forget (or never knew) that New York and California both had baby murder laws before R v W so that representative government was "working" In the CA matter, Ronald Reagen signed the bill into law. Since R v W the courts have blocked representative government with their phony claims of Con Law. It covers the black genocide they wished to practice....which in CA included Mexican genocide....a little remarked upon feature.
