EDITORIAL – Understanding The Supreme Court’s Abortion Decision

(PLACERVILLE, CALIFORNIA) July 17, 2022 — The abortion ruling of the SCOTUS has nothing to do with abortion rights per se, it is an issue of Constitutional Law.

The question at hand was is the ability to have an Abortion for convenience being a Right called out in the Constitution. It is not and that is why Roe-Wade has been struck down.

As it is not a right called out in the United States Constitution it falls to a State’s law.

It is Not Supported NOR Restricted by the United States Constitution SO it automatically falls to a State’s jurisdiction [unless Interstate commerce is involved then Federal Law applies]

So this is what happens – Each State makes the laws in that state. If voters of that State don’t like the laws the legislature makes they vote in new Lawmakers [that is why they are called “Lawmakers.”

This applies the same way on the Federal level. House and Senate lawmakers can make Federal Law [Interstate Commerce] and if the voters don’t like the laws they get replaced by voters either in the normal process of elections or by Special Elections if those voters feel the vote is an Urgent matter.

If you travel to another State to utilize their laws that is fine if you don’t trigger “Interstate” commerce like using a phone to make an appointment. – that may seem odd but that is the law as it is today.

The effect in California is – No Change.

Other States can make their own laws as the voters of that area accept. That is the law as it is today.

If you live in a State that prohibits abortion you can get in a private car and drive to a State that allows abortion and get one when you arrive. That is the Law as it stands today.

So the States can make their own laws in regard to Abortion. The Feds can make their own laws in regards. And the Constitution can be AMENDED to make this a Constitutional issue. It is NOT a Constitutional issue as it stands today and that is what the SCOTUS has ruled.

In the case of abortion, the Constitution can be amended, the Federal Law can be changed by the House and Senate, and lacking those authorities the States’ law control the subject.

This is the framework of the United States Legal System.

The “right” to abortion has not been taken away, the fact that it is not a Right setout in the United States Constitution has been correctly determined.

Now it falls to Federal Lawmakers, and until that is legislated it falls to States’ Lawmakers.
