 Br> Not About Morality or "Killing" a Baby:The decision in Roe v. Wade was

 Br> When the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's

 Br> Dobbs effectively reversed that by removing the federal constitutional
 Br> protection for abortion, allowing individual states to make their own laws

Understood, thanks for going over the legal intricacies; I do understand that it just put the right to make laws back to the states.

I guess what I meant to say is that while I support Trump currently, I still advocate for womens complete and full rights to an abortion if they choose. I don't care what we call it, so I'll just goto the extreme - I think if a woman wants to kill her fetus she should have the right to, period.
