I don’t disagree, but both Roe and Casey said “viability” was the standard. In Roe, it was allowed up until the third trimester (27 weeks). Casey changed that to 24 weeks, which in 1992 resulted in a 50% mortality rate with the best technology available. In 2021, that is now 60-70% survival rate depending on what study you look at. If 50% is the threshold with modern medicine, some articles I’ve read put that at 22 weeks. That’s why the viability requirement originally used in Roe is problematic, viability cutoff will continue to become less and less as technology advances.

Anyone who has read the premise of the legal briefs for SCOTUS looking at Roe and Casey wish to express an opinion?

I’m heavily torn on this. I’m an advocate for abortion rights and agree that the 14th amendment protects the right to an abortion, but believe 40 week viable fetus abortions are horrific. The US has the most  unrestrictive  abortion laws in the world. Casey’s update to flaws identified in Roe are just as flawed today in my opinion. Viability can’t be the standard as that window is a moving target and will eventually occur immediately after conception. A 24 week old baby born without 21st century medical equipment has nearly no viability outside the womb, and it seems reasonable to assume late 21st century technology will make the viability threshold significantly lower. They’re already growing lambs in artificial wombs, so humans can’t be far off.

So with that flaw in mind, I do think a 15 week ban may be constitutional. If 90% of abortions occur before week 13, an extra 2 seems like a reasonable restriction to me. But I’ve known women who chose to abort at very late stages because some severe deformity or genetic defect was detected that would render the baby unviable after birth or the quality of life so abysmal that most people couldn’t stomach watching a child suffer that way. And I think that exception is important to protect.

Does anyone have a different perspective on Casey and where/when a viability demarcation can be moved beyond the 24 week threshold?

Arbery's murderers found GUILTY!  Seems like the right call to me. I bet no rednecks "smash and grab" across the nation as a result.

I'm not nearly informed on Arbery's killing as I was with the Rittenhouse trial, but this appears to be murder to me.  Regardless if Arbery was a career thief and criminal (he was), the three men haven't testified that they witnessed him exiting the under construction home on the day of the murder.  In fact, the father said he was alerted to Arbery as he ran by their home, and he and his son hopped in the truck with weapons.  How is Arbery not able to assume his life is under attack when 3 men chase him down a road in two separate vehicles, allegedly running him off the road at least once?  I don't know Georgia's laws on citizens arrest, but when you try to run someone over or off the road and hop out of your vehicle with a shotgun, I think it's very reasonable to assume these people mean you great bodily harm or death. 

I'm willing to bet Proud Boys and their ilk won't be looting stores and smashing windows when these three rednecks get convicted for Murder 2.

The looting of the Louis Vuitton store in America’s most progressive and enlightened city really made me consider my position as a pillar in a European patriarchal society. It totally wasn’t about pieces of garbage looking for free money and looking for any reason to be violent.
