It got overturned on constitutional semantics, since in Roe it was judged as a right to privacy. The issue becomes a problem in the "nor shall any State deprive any person of life" line of the 14th Amendment. There they concluded Roe v Wade was a wrong unconstitutional ruling, from the "life" angle (I'm simplifying but ya I like to read law).

I think the best option here is to add an Amendment which clearly defines abortion rights etc. That is how it is in my country, it's the ridiculous precedent stuff they have which makes things like these complicated for no reason.

Law IS semantics. Call it a reasonable ruling that undid a good decision (right for abortion) made in a wrong approach (Roe v Wade), since now it depends on the states and their level of conservatism.
so you're not even from the US?
 
Yeah, that's part of the problem, trying to interpret an Amendment which was written like 160 years ago and realistically isn't adapted for 2024.

This is part of the reason they will never have gun control :believe:
That's why I prefer oral transmission of history and everything else where laws evolve organically according to gradual changes in culture and values. It also eliminates the danger that comes from literal interpretations of 2000 year old religious texts (which gave us salafism etc) and rewriting & additional text that was not part of the original scripture for political agenda.
 
It's not true, the Supreme Court just reread what the constitution says and left it to the lower courts to rule. It doesn't give any "new powers" to any former president.
not what 3 of those 9 said in their decisions

but i guess we will ignore that
