Separate but equal was invented by the people, then ratified by the Justices.
Try again.
And abortion was allowed everywhere until 1821: "Connecticut was the first U.S. state to outlaw medicinal abortion after quickening in 1821, followed by 10 of the 26 states creating similar restrictions within 20 years. New York made post-quickening abortions a felony and pre-quickening abortions a misdemeanor in 1829."
Until you actually read the Dobbs decision(why are you afraid to?)
you are only regurgitating ignorance.
Alito carefully laid out a case that unwritten rights, to be enforced by courts, must be deeply rooted in our history.
To wit (a) From the 1200s to 1960, no statute, no English case, no state case, no federal case, no legal treatise, and no law review article hinted at an abortion right. the right to marriage equality or the right to homosexual conduct On the contrary, abortion homosexual conduct at any stage was (b) unlawful at common law and (c) widely criminalized by the time of the 14th Amendment And gay marriage was forbidden everywhere
Either read understand the decision or move on.
Every single time you post you undercut your view that Dobbs does not threaten gay marriage and other cherished accepted rights. But then you already admitted that you engage in "the fiction that the expected and intended consequence of the abortion decision is irrelevant." So your pretending not to recognize that Dobbs emperils other rights is just your normal operating procedure. You Comically Transparent Partisan Hack.
Since you (a) refuse to read the Dobbs Decision(b) blatantly misrepresent my words, and (c) ignore the world you live in I feel no compunction to respond.
Retreat IS your best option.
RETREAT? LOL.
You are whistling as your party is slowly filling up the graveyard of ignorance and bad policies.
In the meantime we now have a court that has deep sixed talk of a
LIVING Constitution, returning us to the concept of power to the people who control how we govern ourselves, including creating unenumerated rights.
And the best example of that is same sex marriage. Barack Obama was elected President while defending marriage as ONLY a union of a man and a woman. Two years later he and millions of others had other thoughts.
I have been unwilling to sign on to same-sex marriage, but times are changing and attitudes evolve, including mine. And I think that it is an issue that I wrestle with and think about because I have a whole host of friends who are in gay partnerships. I have staff members who are in committed, monogamous relationships, who are raising children, who are wonderful parents.
Five years later same sex marriage was recognized federally and in all 50 States.
Except for those with religious objections the people have endorsed and accepted this new right which is now fully ingrained in our culture.
As the Dobbs majority points out nothing in its decision has any bearing on same sex marriage.
