What you likely DONT KNOW ABOUT THE IMPORTANCE OF UPHOLDING ROE-WADE
FACTS - NOT OPINION from Constitutional Lawyer:
…”There is no stated right to privacy in the US Constitution. None. The document is silent on the issue.
In Roe v. Wade, the US Supreme Court found that the right to privacy can be inferred through various provisions of the US Constitution, ie 4th amendment (warrant required for searches), 5th amendment (right to remain silent), etc. As such, the Court held that a woman has a right to privacy regarding her body and pregnancy up and until viability of the fetus. (I am aware that this highly simplifies abortion law.)
SO - If Roe v. Wade is overturned, not only will it overturn abortion rights, it also will overturn privacy rights because there is no guaranteed right to privacy anywhere in the US Constitution.
Therefore, if you think overturning this decision doesn’t concern you, and the issue is solely about abortion, you are incorrect.
It concerns everyone ! “
