The Wisconsin Supreme Court’s liberal majority struck down the state’s 176-year-old abortion ban on Wednesday, ruling 4-3 that it was superseded by a newer state law that criminalizes abortions only after a fetus can survive outside the womb.

So women lose their bodily autonomy as soon as their fetus becomes viable? How’s that work?
At a certain point you’re responsible for a person, and not hosting a mass of cells. If the fetus is viable, then abortion is essentially the same as delivery, and you’re looking at adoption instead of abortion.
I’m sure there’s edge cases that I’m not thinking of, and I’m perfectly willing to admit I’m wrong, but it seems to me that if the fetus is viable, then there’s not much difference between a human that’s inside the body or outside.
Abortion should be legal unless the fetus can be safely detached from the mother with zero risk and put in a artificial womb. (which we don’t have the technology yet)
As long as they are inside the mother, the mother takes priority, the fetus is a potential person, not a fully developed person.
Even roe v wade had this as a max,
You might have this as a real belief, but if you are arguing viable fetuses should be allowed to be aborted, you’re not going to do well for your cause and you probably need to find a compromise that can literally rally supermajorities of republicans and democrats onto your side of the issue
Why the fuck would I care about Roe v Wade? Am I supposed to base my idealogy on supreme court decisions and nothing else? Who fucking cares what Roe v. Wade said?
I guess you are opposed to discussion as well, you do you
I didn’t realize we were having a discussion about Supreme Court cases.
See, I don’t base my ideology on what Samuel Alito and his ilk say. That’s not how I decide what is moral or ethical.
