Probably not for at least 20+ years when Democrats maybe can get a liberal majority back on the Court. |
So gun safety should NOT be decided by state legislatures (such as the NY legislature), but abortion should be. Right.
It's horrific that a 6-3 majority thinks so little of precedent, of lying under oath, or of women's privacy rights. I had an abortion at age 22--so grateful I lived in a country (not the US) where abortion was safe and legal. There will be A LOT of litigation surrounding this, since your right to an abortion will vary depending on where you live--denying you equal protection of the laws. |
Whoa whoa whoa—state decisis anyone? ![]() |
If it was a baby then it would have been alive when it came out of the PP. But it was not because it was a clump of cells that was not able to grow into a baby. A baby is the result of a fetus growing inside a woman for 9 months. If the PP flushed her miscarriage waste down the toilet then it was obviously not a baby. |
Whats the second vote on 16 weeks for then? |
Mitch will claim it as his crowning achievement. And unfortunately for American women and their families he won’t be wrong. |
Please don’t do this. Take that energy and get out and register people to vote! The only way we can enshrine this as a right is for Congress to pass legislation. That means electing Democrats up and down the ballot! Protesting will do nothing. registering people to vote or talking to your friends family neighbors of the importance of voting and voting for Democrats is what needs to be done. |
Manchin just landed in Birmingham. Flying solo. Quickly escorted out by state troopers. |
So a womens life expectancy, availability of healthcare, her decision-making abilities, her income, etc. should be determined by the STATE SHE LIVES IN? GTFOH. |
Crazy how the rationale is that this isn't in the text of the constitution but the second amendment is WHOLLY modified by gun rights being predicated on being part of a well regulated militia and this is ignored. |
I feel physically ill. This is so horrific. I am terrified for all women and people who can get pregnant in this country. |
No it hasn't. abortion just remove a mass of cells, no lives there . |
20 week scan is when many find out about conditions incompatible with life. I had a life-threatening pregnancy. The danger, as we already see in countries that severely restrict abortion is that doctors faced with a woman who is doing poorly will hem and haw about whether she is truly dying or wait for the baby's heartbeat to stop before giving life-saving treatment. I am personally deeply uncomfortable with abortion, but no woman should die, be permanently injured, or lose her fertility because she was denied medical treatment due to pregnancy. |
The news stories about blonde Southern Christian Instagram mommies dying from miscarriages will write themselves.
Don't say we didn't warn ya. |
Yes. If they had seated Merrick Garland, and RBG retired during the proper window, this would not have happened. |
