In reply to the discussion: 'Women are not some piece of collectively owned community property' [View all]Viability means the fetus can survive outside the womb.
This is Roe v. Wade language.
Our founders would have allowed abortion later, though. They believed abortion was allowed until quickening, which happens when the fetus moves.
The so-called originalists on our Supreme Court ignored our founders entirely. Instead our honorable originalists reached way back to the Long Parliament to quote a religious zealot who burned heretics for a living.
In a not so strange twist, the same originalist justices of our Supreme Court ignored the Englands Long Parliament to grant Mr. Trump immunity for his multitudinous law-breaking.
Oliver Cromwell and the Long Parliament disagreed vehemently with that immunity decision. How could I possibly know that? They cut off Charles IIs head for his many crimes against them.
The Supreme Court originalists are picky about their legal theories. They begin with their desired outcome and then hunt for their authority.
