The moderators responded by saying that no state CURRENTLY does that. So he got “fact checked” but did he really? Just trying to stay objective and disregard the optics that they wanted to create against trump.

[@nikophilopoulos833]

@@jinxterpinxter I think leaving it to each individual state is the best thing we can do. Cuz while some people (including me) don’t think that there’s anything immoral about abortion.

[@nancyquinn-y4g]

Genuine question, If the supreme court overturned roe v wade and turned it back to the states. How can Kamala go in there and change it or how can she enforce her abortion stance?

[@davesmith1553]

Good question -- can someone with knowledge on this issue give a definitive answer (even though it's academic now).

[@1495978707]

She can't. That's why her basing her entire campaign on it was stupid. Republicans couldn't even get a national ban without a constitutional amendment, which would be extraoridnarily hard

[@ArturoSubutex]

The Supreme Court didn't turn it back to the States. They said that it was not a protected right under the Constitution. What Roe v Wade was saying was that before fetal viability, abortion was part of a woman's "right to privacy" as protected by the Due Process Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. This meant that no US jurisdiction could make it illegal for a woman to have an abortion (that is, before fetal viability). Now, with Dobbs overturning Roe, it is possible for any US jurisdiction to pass any law they want. Any jurisdiction, that means not just the States -- but also the Federal government. So yes, the Federal Government could pass a law saying that abortion is a right before fetal viability. And Federal law overrides State law or (as per the Supremacy Clause) State Constitution. This is what they call the idea to "codify Roe v Wade". Obama had promised to do it and then forgot back when he had a filibuster-proof Trifecta. Biden also promised and then also forgot, although his majority was razor thin and not filibuster-proof, so maybe that was why. Conversely, now, Republicans could absolutely try a national ban on abortion.

[@davesmith1553]

@@ArturoSubutex Thanks for the detailed answer. However, I've seen quite a few reliable online sites state that Federal attempts to codiy Roe would face potential Constitutional challenges.

[@ArturoSubutex]

​@@davesmith1553 Oh yes it would have been possible to challenge a codified Roe. But what I meant was that Dobbs did not say that abortion had to be managed by the States. So codifying Roe is possible under Dobbs. And then if it had been challenged, the question would have been, in the event of a Harris victory, whether the Supreme Court would have dared to overturn a law just passed by Congress, popular with the majority of Americans, given how Dobbs had weakened Republicans in 2022.

I see what you’re doing. Harris is not pushing issues that “only women care about”. She has also never made her campaign about “vote for me because I’m a woman of colour!”. They were both asked the same question. More importantly, women are not a “minority group”. They represent half of the population. It was extremely valid for both candidates to be asked this question. Roe v Wade was overturned recently and thus the issue of abortion was a pertinent question. This was not Kamala steering the ship to focus on “issues women care about”.

I am a pro-choicer and I have to say Kamala performed terribly in this debate. For how long leftists have been labeled as irrational emotional people and for some reason the only argument Kamala brought up was that "men and especially Trump have no right to tell women what to do with their body." The pro-life crowd argues fetus life is worthy of moral consideration which is compelling. Kamala's argument does nothing to the sexist crowd. It also does nothing to the religious crowd. Kamala's argument does nothing to attack the point of the fetus's right to life. the argument of "Women have rights" is considerably more difficult to empathize with when the other side is saying "Don't kill babies."

Trump did the right thing here. It should be left to more localized govt and not the federal govt. That allows for the most fairness and balance. How does she even go on about Trump abortion bans. I love his eyes when she says that.

[@Lawrence_Talbot]

I streamed this in a discord with mostly republicans and they are cringing at how bad he did. He did not answer a single question, even the simple yes or no. He went completely off topic so many times. He listed a lot of lies like he won 2020 in a landslide. He kept interrupting Harris despite mikes are off. He refused to clarify any policy. I’m not saying they will vote for Kamala, but this did nothing to convince them to vote for Trump.

How about you teach your kids how to use a condom? Use contraceptives. If you don't want to get an abortion? Why normalize abortion?

At 6+ months it should be illegal. That is murder. The baby is living well before that already 😢 Also, this would prevent more abandoned babies and hold people accountable for their actions. People having multiple abortions is disgusting
