Hi Perry, Thank you for giving this decision context and analysis. I never thought 6/24/2022 would come in my lifetime, or ever. I am saddened by the opinion of people who justify accepting the decision on constitutional grounds. As if, the 1973 court violated the constitution in a 7-2 decision, and the 2022 court made it whole in a 6-3 decision.
It seems to me that the Zero Aggression principle wouldn't provide complete clarity on this matter. The notion of zero aggression assumes that there is a 'who' that is the object of aggression. The 'when' of the abortion question is partly about the point at which point a fetus becomes a 'who' that should be protected from 'aggression'. What duty of care does a parent owe a child and when does this start? This is what we the people must now deal with. Frankly, I would much prefer for each state to have its own referendum. Each political party is in the hands of those who want 'all' or 'nothing', and neither of position seems to represent the vast majority of voters.
The Constitution's Bill of Rights including the 9th Amendment didn't apply to to the states before the 14th Amendment,. All persons BORN or naturalized in the United States and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." It think the right to abortion is found here, if it is found here. I think Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Roe should have been decided on equal protection grounds and I agree.

I want to see more pole analysis on other issues. Well done.
