All this clammer about the overturn of RVW is very amusing since the people causing the clammer don't even understand WHAT the SCOTUS is deciding on. RVW is not being abolished it is being removed from FEDERAL status and being put back into the hands of the individual sovereign states where it should always have been. It has always been a question of overreach by the federal government. I live in a state where the majority of people are pro-life then we should not be forced to comply with a law we opposed to. Likewise, if I live in a state like California where the majority is pro-choice I should not be denied the right to a service I feel I should be able to have.

People live in different states for reasons, some are political, some are due to religious beliefs (being around others that believe the same) and some are for social-economical reasons. The problem we are having here in the United States today is with each group trying to force what it wants and believes in on those that don't think the same.

Texas recently came under fire for passing what some called an anti-abortion law. Texas did not abolish abortion, there were two main changes. One it prohibited the use of state and federal tax dollars from being used to fund abortions and secondly, it banned abortions during the third trimester of pregnancy. Personally, I can think of no reason for needing an abortion after the first six months other than procrastination on the mother's part. Many premature babies survive that are born during the last trimester.

Texas has always been in the heart of what we call the Bible belt here and the majority of people have deep religious convictions. If you want to live a life that is contrary to those beliefs feel free but don't try to make that majority conform to your lifestyle, that is not what freedom and America are about. Each one of us, whatever we believe, has a God-given right, as stated in the constitution, to the pursuit of happiness.

So I support the decision in the Supreme court in putting this power back into the hands of each individual state to decide as they may how to govern themselves. There are a number of areas the federal government should be put in check, this is just one of them. It is time we return to "government FOR the people, BY the people" and I think SCOTUS will make the decision to do just that.

Hopefully, we will see the issue of federal power over the education of our children being restricted and returned to the states next. Another area of overreach that needs to be dealt with.

Just my 2 cents.
