Ruth Beder Ginsberg was ALLWAYS worried that this construct was to weak to preserve a constitutional right. She believed that an argument under the equal protection clause of the 14th Amendment would be more resilient. The clause, which took effect in 1868, provides "nor shall any State ... deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws". It mandates that individuals in similar situations be treated equally by the law. (from Wikipedia). How would this provision help the cause of abortion rights?What if a pregnant "Ruth Roe" filed suit in Mississippi TODAY challenging the state's abortion restriction based on violation of the "equal protection" clause. Would SCOTUS then need to tie themselves into a pretzel to support the law? Would the five ideologues still support the abortion bans without shame using new fiction?https://www.democraticunderground.com/100216663182

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

"Abortion not mentioned in constitution, neither is "woman" But Alito is wrong. 13th Amendmentis the argument to attack this because forcing a woman to carry a pregnancy to term is enslavement.Others are beginning to point this out, but the outlaw of slavery is the argument: the 13th Amendment abolished slavery & involuntary servitude. Forcing a woman to bear a child is involuntary servitude. No one has a right to use someone else’s body against their will, even if it saves a fetus.
