Why is Roe V Wade such a hot button issue?

What makes legalized abortion on demand such a hot button issue?

Other than a fairness issue or a moral issue it seems the only people effected are women of childbearing age and the men who impregnate them. So why are we so split?

Because some of us believe that we have the right to tell other people what to do or not do with their sexual apparatus. Oddly enough, these are often the exact same people who cried about Obamacare and insisted that "No politician or bureaucrat is going to dictate *my* health care decisions; that's only for me and my doctor to decide."

I'm not trying to push anyone's buttons. Both sides are and have been making a big issue of Roe V Wade for 50 years. I just want to know why it's such a bid deal to so many that are and never will be affected by it. Just looking at the protesters most of the women are well past child bearing age and the men are just as old.

I say this with all due respect. When I saw the OP I thought it was written someone either new to the country or really young and trying to understand the history.

Sure, I’m a male (who currently identifies as cisgendered - to be P.C.) so I won’t have to get an abortion myself. But I feel like it goes without saying that because I won’t get pregnant therefore it doesn’t affect me and I shouldn’t care is not the attitude to have, and that applies to many issues - not just abortion. It would be like someone saying because I don’t have kids I have no concern over the quality of our education system. Ok, but the quality of schools affects your neighborhood and your property values and our economy and how competitive we are globally etc. There’s a much bigger picture involved.
 
Actually, the abortion leak tells us that Roe vs.Wade was a bad Supreme Court decision and that abortion (the murder of innocent children) will no longer be a judicial issue for the courts. It will be a legislative issue for the states...the people...very democratic.

“The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.” Tenth Amendment

Abortion is not a health care decision or a “sexual apparatus” decision, it’s a murder of innocent children issue.

N.Y, California etc. will still allow the murder of innocent children...for a while.

For about 80% of Americans, it was completely off the radar screen a week ago. It might as well be Sea of Japan fishing rights. Most of the people who did care about it were very against Roe v. Wade. So every couple of months an abortion doctor would be murdered, but we all pretended it was not happening.

Republicans liked it that way, or at least the Republican politicians, so they kept Roe v. Wade for 50 years. Now someone pushed the Republicans into overturning Roe v. Wade, and we all exist in a different world than we did a week ago.



The majority of Americans are of childbearing years, and the rest almost always care about people of childbearing years.

All you are proving is that the split is political versus fair or moral. :palm:

If you need to change the subject, here's one for you.

E. Jean Carroll says trump sexually assaulted her in a department store dressing room.

Do you believe her, yes or not?
 
The economy, out of control inflation, out of control crime, out of control borders, Ukraine and on and on.



This is what keeps Americans awake at night, not abortion.



The abortion leak voids the bad Roe vs. Wade decision (not a law) and puts this decision back into the hands of the people and the state legislators who are elected by the people.



We are a Constitutional Republic and this shows how we operate in a democratic fashion concerning legislative matters and since the right to an abortion is no longer a Constitutional right (it never was but Roe said it was) we will allow the people of each state and their legislators to decide.

Splendid!

its against the law to rip your kidney out

there is an easy solution to this

Women dont have sex with the drummer passing though town...no sex no unwanted baby...works 100% of the time

Another easy solution is for drummers not to invite women into their dressing rooms after a gig. Also fool-proof.

How about a reading of Washington Irving, America's first great writer?

Tales of the Alhambra

"Irving's dreamlike description of the Alhambra, the beautiful Moorish castle that defined the height of Moorish civilization, and the surrounding territory of Granada remains one of the best guidebooks to the region and one of the most entertaining travelogues ever written."

or

James Michener's "Iberia"...beautifully written, especially the part about Andalucia?
