Its complicated. I support the idea that states ought to be able to decide their own laws, but I do not support making abortion illegal. I suppose I am OK with this, as I support the right of people that don't agree with me to form their own communities and live their own way.

It's not complicated and that wasn't the question OP posed. The Roe decision was a shit decision and it should have been overturned long ago.

Can you read? I said "I suppose I am OK with this", in response to "Do I support the decision to overturn Roe V Wade". I was merely explaining that my support was due to 'states rights' rather than me not supporting 'abortion rights', as there is more than one reason one might support this decision

You said

  • states rights
  • but abortion legal
  • is okay

which is execrable grammar at the very best and a sign of deep confusion at worst. Anyway the question is about overturning a horrible decision, and you didn't answer that at all.

I'm pro-choice, but my stance might be skewed by my severe misanthropy. Fewer humans is generally a good thing, in my experience.

Maybe I'd oppose abortion if I believed that it was possible for those babies to grow up to be happy and healthy. But I don't believe that.

The world is sick at the moment. It's probably less cruel for children not to exist, rather than exist just to suffer.

That doesn't answer the question. I'm pro-choice but I oppose Roe V Wade because it is a violation of states' rights, and is therefore unconstitutional.

Fair enough.

I thought OP was just asking about our stance on abortion.

I'm not well-versed in all the legal aspects of Roe v. Wade. Do you have any links you'd like to share on the subject?

Here is the leaked supreme court opinion (draft) behind the current controversy:

I say let the states decide.

The vast majority of abortions are irresponsible women murdering thier babies out of convenience. I don't see why that should be allowed.

Humans are hirribly cruel and despicable and it is the epitome of absurdity that the people who are fighting for one of the most horrific crimes to be allowed think they are good people.

On the other hand I do wish there were ways to make the human race better through eugenics and this is ironically the only socially acceptable way to do it, despite it being one of the worst.

That takes the sting out if it a little bit, but it is still wrong. Parents who get an abortion should be sterilized.
