I see you're a lawyer. You may appreciate this comment I left in the Penguin's argumentative piece on the Alito decision:

"Holdings are different than the reasoning. If there is other and better reasoning for a prior holding, the prior case should not be overturned. It should be affirmed on other grounds.

Laws that criminalize or otherwise prevent pre-viability abortion codify certain religious views over others and thus violate the 1st Amendment's anti-establishment of religion clause. That is the firm foundation under which Roe (and the other privacy rights cases--(sodomy/contraception/etc)) should have been decided and it is the grounds under which they should be affirmed. This is my essay on the matter that I wrote in December. https://medium.com/illumination-curated/abortion-is-murder-4d234daa2e71 Let me explain my title. I do believe that human life begins at conception but I am 100% pro-choice. My subtitle is "Yet I steadfastly believe the decision is a personal one that should not be criminalized before the point of fetal viability as there is no justification for human laws to ban it."
