It became related when the right-wing theocrats attempted to force their religious beliefs on the rest of the population.
Roe V. Wade is FEDERAL CASE LAW.
The Supremacy Clause of the United States Constitution (Article VI, Clause 2) establishes that the Constitution, federal laws made pursuant to it and treaties made under its authority, constitute the supreme law of the land.[1] It provides that state courts are bound by the supreme law; in case of conflict between federal and state law, the federal law must be applied. Even state constitutions are subordinate to federal law.[2] The federal government possesses the supreme authority accorded it by the Constitution. The scope of this authority is very broad, as the federal government is tasked with providing for the general welfare of the United States.

I am sorry the south has such a hard time understand this concept.
Roe V. Wade rules out making a state law on abortion. Federal law ALWAYS trumps state law. No matter how mad this makes the right-wing theocrats, it IS THE LAW. They can follow the law or they can be branded seditionists and be treated accordingly.
In fact, the closest thing we have to anything regarding the Constitution not specifically saying something it automatically is a state matter, per the 10th Amendment. The SCOTUS basically had no standing to rule on this topic, in reality.
No, federal law does not always trump state law. Federal law only trumps state law when it has to do with the specific enumerated powers of the federal government. Per the 10th Amendment, anything not specifically given as part of it's enumerated powers to the federal is automatically a state matter. Since there is no enumerated power regarding abortion, it's a state matter. The SCOTUS stepped out of line in their authority.
Wrong.
That is a zealot dodge tactic.
The SCOTUS has EVERY RIGHT to issue a ruling on this issue. It just came down against what you believe so you're having a fit.
Their ruling is FEDERAL LAW which means that THAT RULING TRUMPS ALL STATE LAWS. That is how it works. I suggest you read the Supremacy Clause.

Yes, it does.
Your religion doesn't like the ruling so you're having a temper tantrum. Guess what? The SCOTUS was perfectly in-line and had EVERY RIGHT to make the ruling it did.
Pastor Joe-Bob and his backwards rhetoric are NOT THE LAW. The SCOTUS' decision IS THE LAW. The Supremacy clause is clear on this matter.
Accept it and cease all backwards obstructionist tactics.
Yes, very much so. Then again what would you know about it when you suggested that rights retained by the people are meant to be delegated.The 10th Amendment is still a thing.
Your expertise on this amounts to less than zero.Until such time as you manage to repeal it, the ruling in Roe remains a blatant violation of the rule of law
Read the ****ing thing to the end.The 10th Amendment is a zealot dodge tactic?
And non right-wing secularists also force their beliefs on the rest of the population. There is no difference. Government = force.
How does allowing choice force anything on anyone?
Read the ****ing thing to the end.
However, I support the decision by the SCOTUS when it struck down DOMA. Why? Because there is no enumerated power for the federal government to regulate marriage.
There are all kinds of choices that effect other people. In this instance, the force being used is that which is used to kill the unborn child.
You didn't answer my question.
The amendment. I bet it is hard for you to follow, after all it is rather simple.Which what to the end? It's hard to follow because you're communicating in an overly emotional manner.

Pro choice allows all to follow his /her own religious or secular belief.
The first amendment grants religious liberty to all of us.

I think that answered it pretty clearly. Allowing people to choose certain behavior or activities can result in the use of force on others. So someone choosing an abortion is using force. If slavery were still legal people could choose to be slave holders or not and their choice would involve using force on others. Parents have a choice in how they raise their children, which will definitely use force to limit/change all kinds of behavior.
Being pro-life isn't mutually inclusive of religion. Also, what choice does the unborn human get?
Yea that. Why do you so conveniently disregard the last part, the most important part.You mean this to the end?
Really? What do you believe differently now?And non right-wing secularists also force their beliefs on the rest of the population.
The 10th Amendment is still a thing.
While big government authoritarians like to pretend it does not exist, that's all that is - pretending.
Until such time as you manage to repeal it, the ruling in Roe remains a blatant violation of the rule of law, with the federal government overturning just state laws appropriate of nothing.
