Once you ask for government money, your right to privacy is gone. Can't have it both ways. So because you've had medical procedures that were supported by federal funds, you no longer have a right to privacy?

I guess so, since that's what we're in for.

As I understand it, Roe was decided on the right to (medical) privacy.

There is no and never was a constitutional right to an abortion. There is and always has been a constitutional right to carry or bear arms. It is a first class right. That right does not end at the front door of one's home. It extends outside beyond the home as well. That is the essence of the ruling.

The Constitution is designed to limit the government's ability to limit the rights of the citizens. Not the other way around.

So, make sure those kids are born so that they can be slaughtered in second grade. Fuck you.

To be fair, if someone brings a case before them saying that a license should not be required to operate a motor vehicle, or any other thing that requires a license, they must approve.

Relax, they have to sign an outdoor campfires only waiver.

Justine ran into a guy who said he grew up in this house. He told her a few things we didn't know; she didn't tell him we found his grade-school-dirty graffiti in the crawlspace... but she said "it looks like a circle of water damage in the front bedroomâwas there a houseplant there or something?" and the old guy says "No, my brother and I wanted to have a campfire but it was raining so we had it in our room."
