The point you are still missing or refusing to accept is that the SCOTUS is not there there to decide the issue on their own. They are there to interpret law, not write law. Abortion is not mentioned anywhere in the US Constitution. There was nothing for the SCOTUS to interpret. Without a constitutional amendment regarding abortion, it is an issue for the states. I am betting that deep down you and other libruls understand that. Otherwise you would not lose your collective minds every time a conservative is appointed to the US Supreme Court. If unrestricted abortion was the law of the land, you would not worry about it.
And I've asked you to explain what they interpreted incorrectly? They discussed the 9th Amendment in RvW. Previously posted:
They dont invent rights...I'm not surprised you wrote that...a lot of people seem to think that SCOTUS creates rights
Here's a recent explanation, maybe it will help ya out:
Do you know what no one can answer for me? Why the right to an abortion shouldnt be protecte?. I mean, they also referred to the 9th in the RvW decision. It's no different than a right to have consensual sex, a right to reproduce, or a right to travel from state to state. It's accorded to the people unless there are reasons to restrict or ban it. (hint: so no one 'invents' it...they just protect it unless there are reasons not to)
RvW decided that the states may not deny women a safe medical procedure if they choose it. It is much much safer than pregnancy/childbirth. That is *the basis* for the challenge and the decision. So why would that right be denied to women? What would the legal reasons be?
I addressed your post directly, please answer my questions. Or do you not understand the 9th Amendment? Anyone that says 'there's no right to abortion in the Const.' doesnt understand it. Maybe I helped?
