I also see similarities between this case and Alito’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade. Of course they’re not similar in that they both aren’t dealing with medication, but I see them first pre-deciding what they wanted to see happen to the laws (to shut them down) and they both brought weird laws from way back in history to use to hold up for comparison (Judge Kacsmaryk’s was discussed here) and Justice Alito brought up some judge from, I believe, from the 😅16th or the 17th centuries, in England, written by a legal-minded man who, ironically also sentenced young women to go through the “proving your innocence period” before condemning these women to die by fire on a stake. One of the most popular “proving your innocence techniques” was to toss the young women (er: witch) in a lake or wherever (most young women were never taught to swim in those days because it was concidered “unseemly for a lady”. The formula they used was that if the young women drowned, they were found innocent of the charges. If they managed not to drown, they were guilty, and so would be killed by being burned at the stake. I scratch my head thinking about why a 21st Century American Justice would choose to use the opinions of an Englishman from the 15th Century who burned women on stakes as witches. Also, similar to Kacksmaryk’s going back in time to decide that he didn’t think mifepristone was approved correctly, Alito decided that Roe v. Wade was “unconstitutional” at the time it was passed, though he didn’t clearly explain how other than to say it should go to the states, which again, I don’t remember him clearly stating WHY it should be returned to the states. And this was a ruling that contributed to the health and happiness of women, and was found to be reasonable for women for almost 40 years! That’s basically two generations of women having the help they needed. But Alito wanted it to go to the states, I’m sure, because that would end up doing exactly what it did, with so many states jumping on it, and lowering the abortion rates in the country which is just what his religious beliefs demanded. Kacksmaryk’s presumably, having to make some adjustments to his decision, but it will also serve his religious beliefs. And Alito doesn’t have to backpedal one tiny bit. Our laws are NOT supposed to be determined on the plaintiff’s or the judge’s religious beliefs, PERIOD!
