  “The U.S. Supreme Court, through their Dobbs decision this summer, handed the issue of abortion back to state legislatures. (...)
  
  Mmmm no, they didn't.
  What it actually says is (emphasis added):
  
  The Court overrules those decisions and returns that authority to the people and their elected representatives
  
  The South Carolina state constitution was written by "the people and their elected representatives", and the justices of the state supreme court were elected by "their elected representatives", the state legislature.
  Suddenly none of that matters because it's inconvenient.
  
  “Today’s decision fails to respect the concept of separation of powers and strips the people of this state from having a say in a decision that was meant to reflect their voices. (...)"
  
  This is one branch of state government exercising their assigned power under the state constitution, issuing an opinion in a case brought under that state constitution.
  Whining about "separation of powers" being violated is absurd.
  
  Instead, South Carolina is left with a decision that is not reflective of our state’s political process or will.”
  
  Absurd, the state legislature is the one who elected those justices in the first place, they weren't flown in and imposed on you by some external force.
  This is why Republicans are not serious people worth listening to.

  Don't be too quick to cheer for us. Our house of representatives was only a couple votes short of passing a "not abortions, no excuses, even if the mother dies" ban. I'm sure they'll be working on a way to get around this. >

  On the flip side, the people who are that extreme may be a blessing in disguise as they're also the ones voting against 6 week bans or rape exceptions as being "too lenient"
