Now that Roe v. Wade is struck down, Can states now legally mandate forced abortions?

I don’t think you understand this

@Kraigmo Perhaps a more believable scenario to your point would be a state law that required abortions in the case of incest or the rape of a child resulting in pregnancy. It’s an interesting hypothetical, though not likely to ever come to pass since nobody is actually pro-abortion.

Does not make sense !

NO

Thanks for the original question.
Seeing that America, including Canada, had atrocities like forced sterilization, and residential schools, then it’s possible in the past. Hopefully the world will not come to that ever again. It is unfortunately a possibility.

Sterilization in those cases has been discussed, yes. In order to receive benefits most will submit, is what I recall hearing.

Of course not.

Receiving public assistance (not called “welfare”) is not “an abuse of the welfare system.” Its purpose is for people to receive it.

If the child is fed, housed and clothed, it’s not abuse. It’s not neglect. The child is cared for.

Not sure if you know….but it’s the opposite…..that lady with 9 kids will not be able to get an abortion….because RvW was struck down.

@Blackberry I think you might be misunderstanding what the ruling means. Essentially Roe said that states cannot pass laws that ban abortion. This ruling reversed that decision and so now it’s up to the states to decide what rules can be made regarding a woman’s body. Based on this logic, that would mean that a state could conceivably force women to abort under certain circumstances if the states were to pass such laws. At least that’s how I interpreted @Kraigmo‘s question—please correct me if I’m wrong.

Oh ok I gotcha. Basically a state is free to make its own rules.

@Blackberry “Basically a state is free to make its own rules.”

Exactly that, yes—at least that’s my understanding.

The question does point out the absurdity of the Supreme Court ruling. It would make for an interesting test case, but it is not going to happen.

Probably not. Authorization is required by the patient (if adult, by the parents of a minor) for almost all medical procedures. Possible exceptions would be treatment for communicable diseases.

BUT, the left is pushing the rights of schools to urge transgender treatments on children without the parents consent. So they ARE setting a precedent of having a governmental agency determine what is and isn’t acceptable for minors. So it is possible, in the future, we may see just that. After all, China did it.

Somebody is confused yet once again!!! Authorization for a medical procedure will become a thing of the past & the state will TELL you what procedure you will be having & also force you to sign a document saying you’re giving authorization. I hope I live long enough to see some people’s excitement turn into disappointed reality when it’s used AGAINST them!!!
