Roe versus Wade - language used - abortion not being classified as a sex-based right

[Nordensost]

I heard that if abortion had been classed as a sex-based right instead of a 'liberty' it will have gone through more scrutiny and Roe vs Wade not be overturned.

Is there any truth in this?

Sorry if this has been discussed, I've searched and can't find this in particular on this board.

I've read several potted overviews of the interactions of various amendments. I know when I can't given an informed opinion. We could really do with some informed comment from the US MNetters who've been helping us out since Friday.

Absolutely, that is why I posted here.

I'm no expert but I think there are bigger issues at stake here about the initial potential to classify it as a 'sex based' right - I don't think this would have been possible given the US constitution so it had to be classed as being associated with the 'penumbra' of rights associated with privacy and 'due process' needing to be implemented to limit these.

We have no sex based rights in the US.

I have seen a lot of posts celebrating a return to strict constitutional interpretation and all I can think is that the constitution doesn't guarantee any rights to women, women had no legal status when it was written,

And the Equal Rights Amendment is still not law.
