The SCOTUS also said that it was legal and constitutional to own somebody and vote for them at the rate of 3/5 of a vote per slave. The SCOTUS is not a measure of what is right, or what should actually be legal, whether you believe it to be "viable" or not. If we go by "can do without their mother" no child is viable until at least 8 or so, does this mean we should be able to perform 7th trimester abortions on such a developing human?
Your arguments lack substance, they are shallow, and based on foolish bumper sticker nonsense. "The SCOTUS says so!" isn't an argument for or against anything, nor does it go any deeper than the surface. You can do better than this, surely. Show us that you've actually put some thought into your opinion. Or does changing a jersey mean that you must also flip on your central belief system?
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.

It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.
