Didn't women recently lose abortion rights in many states of the US?
On second thought, considering the amount of deliberate alive baby killing in the bible (like 1 Samuel 15:3), I guess it's reasonable to argue it's not just theocratic oppression.

Yes, you could say that, but you can't "lose" something you never had anyway and our Supreme Court ruled that there never was any such "right" granted by the Constitution.

I might not be completely clear on the nuances of the situation, but would it then be fair to say they still lost right even if it wasn't constitutional?

Isn't that what I just said?
They lost a "right" that never was a right to begin with. So yes, you can say that they lost that right but you cannot say it's a bad thing because now we have the correct situation the way it's supposed to be.

Right, your constitution has never been wrong about anything - that’s why it has never been amended! Oh…

That's not what I said at all. But that means it isn't wrong unless and until so amended.
I'm glad you realize that the correct way to get the "rights" you want in this country is by an amendment.

I don’t live in your country, but hopefully you understand the difference between a “right” and a “constitutional right”. Bragging that the same rights afforded to women in far less developed countries aren’t in your constitution isn’t the mic drop you seem to think it is.

Yet again, that's not what I said. Please stop trying to argue with me if you can't even understand what it is I have actually stated.
