People desperately want today's ruling to be about abortion, whereas it was just about SCOTUS declaring they're not being in a position to guarantee a right not listed in the constitution, and instead turning that power back to the individual states instead of the federal govt.
If someone made the claim that it IS the federal government's job to guarantee the right of an abortion, that would be one thing. SCOTUS simply said for a new right to be part of "liberty" of 14th amndmt it had to be a social norm already, and abortion was outlawed for centuries.
But nobody was saying that, and very few people I bet read the opinion itself. It's a legal distinction. They basically said the 14th amendment can't just include anything under the right to "liberty" if it wasn't a societal norm already and that Roe vs Wade made a poor argument.
Now I actually disagree with this premise, because there are plenty of things that I believe should be under "liberty" regarding bodily autonomy that history has ignored.
But that's a very different stance that the dunces who are frothing at the mouth about infanticide.
So dumb
Here's a thread of some quotes I plucked out of the actual ruling this morning if you're curious:
"Attempts to justify abortion through appeals to a broader right to autonomy and to define one’s “concept of existence” prove too much. Those criteria, at a high level of generality, could license fundamental rights to illicit drug use, prostitution, and the like."
Hot take: School is a great thing, if given the right teachers.
The last thing I want is a nation where nobody learns chemistry or calculus because people all homeschooled and parents didn't bother teaching the hard topics.
Although apps like @brilliantorg are probably better at teaching these topics than most educators, just like how @duolingo teaches language better than most educators.
I envision a world where a regimented series of app learning sessions guide students through structured topics.
Science is about falsification - about actively looking for evidence which DISproves a theory, in order to improve our knowledge and make better theories, which science will then try to disprove ad-infinitum.
The Science™, however, is very different, more about blind adherence.
