Ultraconservative Justices Support Abortion


The 14th Amendment requires states to  guarantee  "the equal protection of the laws."  Unfortunately  ultraconservative Supreme Court justices such as Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg don’t believe states should be allowed to protect women from unsafely operated abortion clinicsSupreme Court justices are considering Louisiana' Unsafe Abortion Protection Act, which requires that abortionists in the state have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the facility.       

Y
es, I said "ultraconservative"I know people  such as Ginsburg  like to   call themselves "liberals", but their attitude to abortion regulations is closer to "ultraconservative"  than to "liberal". During the lascentury "liberals" have attempted to enact regulations to protect individuals from unsafe, unfair, etc. business practices"Ultraconservatives"  have attempted to  prevent   such  regulations or ask  the  Supreme Court to  overturn  them.

The ultraconservatives who oppose abortion regulations are like the ultraconservatives who opposed regulations to protect employees from unsafe working conditions a century ago.   The probusiness ultraconservative justices  oppose any attempt to regulate abortions like probusiness ultraconservative justices  a century ago opposed any attempt to regulate working  conditions

Ultraconservatives like abortions because  abortions  reduce  the  surplus population:   The deaths of women from abortions also reduce  the  surplus population
