Yes. They returned the matter to the States because there was no right to an abortion in the U.S. Constitution. If there was none, the matters are the province of the state.

The states do have the right to determine the regulations regarding assisted suicide. The constitution recognizes the right to life and any right to have an individual's right to take his or her own life would be the province of the state. The legislature has the right to weigh in on this issue. The question for the legislature is whether it is a crime. We do allow Hospice to provide palliative which can assist with end of life.

Agree

There is nothing to require that contraception be allowed. Once conception occurs the legislature has determined when a fetus is viable. Abortion has been the law of the land for 70 years and has been expanded by some states to include abortion until birth. The question for the Court is whether the law imposed is extreme and whether the child is viable at that point to constitute death.

It could be murder if done while the child is viable. Otherwise, the law of the state is controlling as to ramifications.

Judicial activist are making the law rather than following it. They are deciding what the law is as they want it to achieve a certain outcome.

Religious freedom is a right to each individual and not to be used as a weapon by others

yes

I am a Christian and believe that people are inherently good and deserve grace. I also believe that each individual has free will and should be responsible for his or her actions. There is accountability expected of each citizen. The legislature creates law which is the foundation of society. If we make excuses for bad actions, we have lowered expectations for all citizens.

The parents have the right to determine what their children learn about sexuality and identity. The purpose of schools is to teach basic reading, writing, and math skills. The schools should teach children critical thinking skills. After a lesson, the children should not know about the teacher's sexual preference, sexual tendencies, and what political leanings the teacher has. Schools are a requirement under the state constitution but was never intended to be an indoctrination area.

I have not seen a legal argument that justifies gender identity as a protected class. There are two genders, male and female. Sexual surgery is a mutilation of the body and does not change a person to another sex.

no

I am a strict construction constitutionalist. I believe a justice is a referee and not a king. Their job is to follow the law as it is written not as they want it to be.

The constitution is full of basic truths and not evolve over time. There are times when it may need to be clarified but that is done through constitutional amendments, not under the limited capacity of the Supreme Court.

Marriage and it's limits belong to the States and is not and should not be a federal issue

If the constitutional or statutory text is clear, you follow them. If they are not clear, you follow the text to its common sense meaning and not use that as an opportunity to reach a goal of the judge.

Judicial restraint is following the law as written. An activist looks at a case to see if she can make her own law or create a unique interpretation of the constitution.

Follow the law as written and not as you might want it to be. Ensure that the Constitution is followed.

No

If it is clearly departing for the Constitution as it has at times under the liberal court, the Court has an obligation to correct it.

We do respect that burden of proof because the consequences of doing less would take away a right under the constitution like the right to life or liberty.

Were there procedural errors? The burden of beyond a reasonable doubt has been applied to the case so now the convicted person should have a very high standard for overturning that conviction.

It is a right and there must be a compelling reason to make any restrictions. I have not seen any except with convicted felons.

The legislature has the power to create the laws and it is composed of representatives of the people. They are required to answer to the voters every 2 years. The Court is ensure that those laws are consistent with the constitution.
