Where Is The High Court In Ap?

OK Supreme Court unanimously struck down state's "Personhood Amendment" saying it was clearly unconstitutional. What do you think?

  • OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — The Oklahoma Supreme Court has ruled that an initiative petition that would grant “personhood” rights to human embryos is unconstitutional. The state's highest court handed down the decision Monday on a proposed constitutional amendment that would define a fertilized human egg as a person. The American Civil Liberties Union and the New York-based Center for Reproductive Rights filed a protest with the Supreme Court on behalf of several Oklahoma doctors and residents. The protest says the measure would have far-reaching implications that trump the rights of women. The Supreme Court's decision says the proposal “is clearly unconstitutional,” citing a 1992 U.S. Supreme Court ruling that upheld the right to an abortion. The court says the petition is void and ordered it stricken. The ruling by the nine-member court was unanimous.

  • Answer:

    I'm not at all surprised. The real goal of the GOP/Vast Right Wing Echo Chamber is to continually nibble at the edges of Roe v. Wade so they can continue to use abortion as a political cudgel. They know that if Roe v. Wade is ever explicitly overturned, there will be huge migration of voters out of the GOP. They don't want to suffer a fate similar to what happened to the Democratic Party in the wake of the Civil Rights movement. It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if members of the SCOSOK knew this was coming even before the petition was first brought to the public.

While I'm not really a fan of their initiative, I don't really agree with the Court stiking down a proposed Constitutional Amendment by saying it's unConstitutional. I guess we'll see if it goes farther.
