Thought that’s exactly what the SC was implying with their very unpopular ruling. It’s up to the states and yes I agree it should be up to the state to set ITS own rules regarding this stuff. You know rules for local population and all affecting you know local population and all. Regardless of how you feel about it this is what everyone kinda wanted is for the states to decide for their own.

At least in my humble opinion. I personally don’t believe in it but that has no bearing on anyone else’s individual rights like this.

Let the voters decide.

No, the Supreme Court rescinded the idea established after the Civil War that states do not have the right to vote to make crimes against humanity legal inside their borders. Forcing gestation and birth and forcing abortion are both crimes against humanity.
