Dems didn't blow it up, Republican-appointed judges on the Supreme Court did. |
Because they are the ones who have spent 50 years claiming to defend women's rights. |
The logic of an abusive person/party: "Why do you make me hit you?" Ladies and gentlemen, today's GOP. |
Clarified for you. Also, lbh, Dems didn't have a filibuster proof majority to "codify Roe" for a very, very long time. Dems handled Roe naively and ineptly, I agree, but this is not on them. |
I don’t believe for one second that this hack court wouldn’t strike down a national law enshrining Roe. It would take a constitutional amendment and good luck getting one of them for anything in this environment. We couldn’t even get one passed that says “women are equal”. |
Leave it up to the states, leave it up to congress, leave it up to the tea leaves and what way the planets are aligned. It's all BS. It shouldn't have to be a law that women should have access to healthcare. |
Only because brainwashed women persist in supporting the GOP. Internalized misogyny is a hell of a drug. |
This Texas woman's story in People magazine is very similar to the story of Savita Halappanavar, the Irish woman whose death from sepsis resulting an incomplete miscarriage helped lead to the legalization of abortion in Ireland. Except she fortunately survived.
Her water broke at 18 weeks and it was inevitable that her fetus could not survive. But, because doctors could still detect a heartbeat, they couldn't do anything to help her until she got close enough to death for the hospital's "ethics board" to decide an abortion was necessary to save her life. She survived, but other women will end up dying because of these ridiculous laws.

100% agree. They've showed they are not willing to stick to judicial precedent and adhere to Stare Decisis, even after saying they would during confirmation hearings. They are not an unbiased legal tribunal any longer. And no one with sense can argue that they (Scotus) are. |
+1 In a just world, all six of the lying sacks of crap would be impeached and removed. They’re illegitimate. |
I dare every so-called "pro-life" voter on here to read this article that shows just what exactly a pregnancy at 5, 7, 8, and 9 weeks looks like. (Hint, you won't see anything at all that resembles the imagery the anti-abortion folk like to toss around. You won't see anything that looks any like a human being either.) Let's remind everyone that the vast majority of abortions take place by around 10 weeks.
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/oct/18/pregnancy-weeks-abortion-tissue And for those who don't want to click on that link, here's a tweet that shows the pregnancy tissues at those stages in the background. "This is what they want women to die for." |
Forced birthers are running away from the facts. |
Why have they not been impeached? They lied to Congress? is that not a crime? An impeachable offense? Who brings charges against a SCOTUS justice? |
The Catholic church is largely to blame for starting this anti-abortion mess. They brainwashed their believers with garbage about the sanctity of life beginning at conception because the Catholic church, which tells women not to use birth control in 2022, wants MORE CATHOLICS!! My mother said that years ago, and it's still true. What a whack-job of a religion. It's a cult, really, with some beautiful architecture. |
And, let's face it, the Catholics are correct in that human life does begin at conception. There's no argument against that. But does that embryo have all the same rights as a person? Do the rights of the embryo equal those of its mother? Why, o why do the forced birthers believe that the rights of that clump of cells exceed those of the mother?
I'm AOK with aborting a clump of cells before 12 weeks. After that, it gets a bit more difficult, but on a case by case basis, it's necessary if the life of the mother is in danger and if the fetus has serious issues that mean it won't ever survive outside of the womb even if born at full term. |
