242: Abortion, Dobbs, Roe, etc., Part 2
from Beer and Conversation with Pigweed and Crowhill · host Pigweed and Crowhill
There was way too much to cover on the Dobbs decision than the boys could cover in part 1. In this episode, they skip the beer review and fill in some of the important points they missed in part one. They discuss the history of Roe v. Wade, stare decisis, and respect for precedent. They review the attempts at gaslighting by the government and the media about the threat of right-wing violence. Also, will the Dobbs decision affect other decisions that rely on a similar reading of "substantive due process"? Dobbs explicitly says no, but Justice Thomas says they should review those cases, and the dissent says it's the logical conclusion. P&C agree. After Dobbs, is there a "right to privacy" in the constitution? Should there be? And is a general "right to privacy" distinguishable from a right to an abortion? We keep hearing about "domestic terrorists," and whether one or the other side of our political debates is more dangerous. It seems rather clear on this one. The threats and violence have come from the left.
