![]() ![]() ![]() The Founders knew that there would be things that they hadn't dreamed of that would need such flexibility. The point of the US Constitution was to be a flexible framework. The overturned decision is not and was never defined in the founding documents or subsequent articles, and until 1973 was left to individual states (the voting citizens) to decide for themselves how they wish to address the subject matter and that right has now been restored.

How other way than to return the power to the people could Democracy be defined? Everything not specifically enumerated in the Constitution (and its amendments) is the right of the individual States to decide. The Constitution is a document detailing the LIMITS of the federal government. It seems like many people are not aware of how the Colonies (er, US Constitution) determines what rights the citizenry has. You've always seemed like a voice of reason so I'll be kind to you in my response.

So the idea is it's OK to take real people's rights away as long as in the process you give rights to a. I'll admit I have been wondering how a bunch of people who normally are all about yelling "Freeeedoooommm!" manage to square this with taking people's freedom away. If a bundle comes along that supports the rights of citizens to make their voices heard in the democratically way our founders intended, then it will be a bundle worth supporting.That's a lot of clever dancing to get around the basic fact that the decision strips actual choice and rights away from a lot of actual people. This bundle SHOULD be raising money promoting the freedom to choose our own paths, instead of going to organizations/efforts that wish to strip away the rights of the people to Democratically vote for their own rulers who represent THEM. Now the choice of forging our own future on this matter has been rightfully returned to individual states where the citizens get to decide for themselves how they wish to be governed. Quoting: TherinSWith the decision, Democracy in the USA is shown to be stepping in the correct direction! Removing the choice from the people is something governments, at a national level, have done for thousands (?) of years. You can pay $10 (or more) to support it and gain access to 169 different items spread across games, tools and more including some gems like: This is a charity bundle as well with all proceeds being split between these two charities: We must all take a stand and demand that our rights and bodily autonomy are federally recognized The fabric of our society is woven by every single member, to erode a single thread unravels us all. It is a question of who is deemed worthy of protecting. It is a determination of what rights we as a society choose to hold sacred. This decision does not only effect those capable of becoming pregnant. To say nothing of the dangerous precedent this decision sets for other civil rights protections, we believe that the right for a person to pursue safe and legal abortions is more than enough reason to stand up and take action. It is a stark reminder that even after 50 years of legal protection, equality can be so easily lost. In the United States, basic human rights are being stripped away. June 24th, 2022 was a harrowing day for civil liberties. The other is the Indie Bundle for Abortion Funds covered in a previous article. ![]() Wade is live on itch.io with the Worthy of Better, Stronger Together for Reproductive Rights bundle. A second bundle (yes there's two) supporting people in the USA following the overturning of Roe v.
