Topic	The plan to overturn Roe v. Wade at the Supreme Court is already in motion.
TheCEmanCometh 06/29/18 12:56:17 PM #1:	https://www.cnn.com/2018/06/29/politics/abortion-roe-v-wade-supreme-court/index.html Now that President Donald Trump has the opportunity to appoint a new justice to the Supreme Court, some abortion opponents hope that Roe v. Wade will end up overturned or gutted -- and they have already been working towards that moment. Over the past year, state legislatures in Iowa, Louisiana and Mississippi have advanced strict limits on abortion that some lawmakers believe could trigger a successful challenge to the landmark 1973 Supreme Court decision that legalized abortion nationwide. "I think it's virtually certain that some or all of those laws will wind up before the Supreme Court," said CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin. "And they will get a much more favorable reception with any of the judges on President Trump's list of 25 possible nominees." When Trump ran for president in 2016, he pledged to appoint "pro-life" justices to the Supreme Court, while his running mate, now-vice president Mike Pence, said that he hoped to see Roe v. Wade end up on the "ash heap of history." Iowa's "heartbeat" law prohibits doctors from performing an abortion if a fetal heartbeat can be detected, which can happen as early as six weeks, with exceptions in the case of certain instances of rape, incest or medical emergency. Mississippi and Louisiana recently passed legislation banning abortion after 15 weeks with limited exceptions. In Arkansas, a legal battle is currently playing out over a law that imposes limitations on access to medication-induced abortions. "The question we are raising is if you have a heartbeat, you have a life and if you have a life then under the Constitution, you are guaranteed a right to life and due process and equal protection under the law before that life is taken away," Greg Heartsill, an Iowa GOP state representative, said in an interview. "That's essentially what we're putting before the court and if they do their due diligence, they've got to answer." --- I'm not a doctor but I play one on CE. <cite>TheCEmanCometh posted [p:904189546] in The plan t...
