With more states putting stricter conditions on abortions, and a majority of Conservative Supreme Court Justices, there is a lot of discussion about whether Roe v. Wade -- the decision that made abortion legal in the United States -- might be totally overturned. What do you think? Could this happen

No way. Even some anti-abortion supporters think that those new laws are too extreme.

There was nothing rational or even Constitutional about the Roe vs Wade decision. Even pro choice Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg spoke out about it being bad case law. They didn't even cite actual Constitutional grounds for the decision. There are no other laws that fit the same criteria ordered under Roe vs Wade. It made the erroneous argument that a fetus is just part of the mother's body, so doctors should be able to just remove it simply because the mother says so. However, there is no part of our bodies that we can order a doctor to remove simply because we want them to remove it. The entire argument is simply a lie.
But then there is the advances in science that the high court simply had no way of foreseeing, but the arguments created by the decision are still based on. In 1972 there wasn't DNA as part of Biology's definition of a living organism or defining a species. However, now that it is an integral part of both, it is ridiculous to make arguments as if DNA was still yet to be discovered.
Another argument invented by Roe vs Wade is the "viability" argument. It imagines that moving from "potential human being" to "human being" is somehow a part of our natural development. Yet there are no other species that have that requirement. Every other species is the same species from conception. Viability is a purely political argument that didn't even have any basis in science in 1972, and has even less now. In fact, it defies all scientific definitions of life and species. That's probably one of the reasons the Pro Choice side has pretty much abandoned it, in favor of abortion being legal right up to (and including) the point of birth.
Roe Vs Wade needs to be overturned because there really isn't any legal, Constitutional, political or scientific rationale for it to stand.

@fec139 So just kill everyone you don't consider really human? That's your bigoted answer?
DNA doesn't like but Pro Choice does!
