> how is protecting abortion unconstitutional? abortion isn't in the constitution. roe v. wade was a court case that tried to spin some weird fucked up legalese nonsense about how the constitution protects a right to personal privacy, and thus if you use a lot of legal jargon and court speak you can weasel that into meaning that "personal privacy" also covers everything that happens between you and a doctor, and since you've now classified everything medical as a "personal privacy" matter then something like getting an abortion cannot be criminalized or punished because it falls within the scope of that and thus is off-limits to the government to regulate. this was just a case ruling on the wording though, it wasn't an actual law. but it was treated like a law for like 60 years, and so every woman in the country somehow got convinced that they had the "legal right to abortion protected by law" because a judge somewhere made this retarded legal theory stay as precedent. the supreme court rightly struck it down because it's bullshit and makes no sense.  abortion is not in the constitution, so absent a federal law to create federal regulations for it, it is therefore something that states own within their sovereignty.
