So they could have used condoms, the man could have avoided ejaculating where it could cause pregnancy, or they could also just not have sex or the woman could take pills or an IUD. Unless it was rape, nobody forced them to have a child.

I do agree that there should be programs that help the parents more.

Clarence Thomas said we should reconsider contraception as a right, which according to your logic essentially means we should reconsider sex except for having a child as a right. You can't advocate for personal responsibility and then take away all mechanisms to conduct it.

I don't even know who Clarence Thomas is. It sounds like he is religious to me which as far as I know allows sex for procreation only, not for pleasure. Maybe I am wrong tho. Whoever he is, I can agree with some of his views while disagreeing with others.

He sits on the U.S. Supreme Court and is one of those responsible for this ruling.

How do you feel about rape victims who are unable to prove they were raped in court and are forced to co-parent the rest of their life with their rapist?

Or what about rape cases which take longer than 9 months to reach a conviction?

Re:Supreme Court Overturns Roe vs. Wade by byyll on Friday June 24, 2022 @01:48PM (#31866513)
Rape is hard to prove and it doesn't necessarily mean co-parenting with the rapist, I think it's even more likely that he avoids responsibility and escapes than become a parent.

And the second issue seems to be an issue of bureaucracy and it's slowness.

Those cases are both valid where I think most people would argue it's not as clear cut but I think they are mostly the exception, not the rule.

So are you saying it doesn’t matter if innocent people are tortured by a law, as long as it’s “rare”?

Like… your opinion is that corner cases don’t matter in law?
