1) Guns are legal too- they're even specifically mentioned in the Constitution. Waiting periods have still been found Constitutional.kalm wrote:1) Like it or not, abortion is legal.

2) Isn't all religion pretty much "made up doctrine"? Or does emperor Cid get to decide which religions are legit?
3) Perhaps I'm reading it wrong, but it seems like state mandated proselytizing might not jive with the intent of the 1st amendment.
Constitutional rights...super important as long as it affects me or I agree with what's being said!
2) I said ESTABLISHED religion before that. You don't get to make things up on the spot. Selective reading on your part. Disagree if you like, but that's the standard. Citizens United!!!!!!
3) More selective... pablum from you - a 72 hour waiting period is required for many things- especially those things with a level of gravity like killing a baby or buying a gun, or even renouncing your citizenship (which also requires a waiting period) - gives you time to think about what you're doing. None of these things are being denied.
If miss satanist was being denied an abortion then you'd have a point. But they aren't and you don't.
