What the hell? I'm pro-choice but that quote is insanity. Abortion is not birth control. Someone please inform this girl of that.

+1000. Translation: I don't want to move somewhere that I have to act responsibly and put a lid on my wild sex life.

I think you and others are intentionally being obtuse. It is not about abortion singularly, but about the slippery slope of dismantling a 50 year precedent so easily. The senator from Texas has already said that he wants Brown v Board of Education reversed because it too was based on the same reasoning as Roe. A member of the SCOTUS majority wrote in his opinion that he invites a case regarding the right to contraceptives; gay marriage ; and cunnilingus/felatio to be revisited by the courts. Those were privacy issues decisions as well. Maybe none of those issues are concerning to you because perchance you are white and heterosexual and don’t enjoy oral sex, but they concern and impact a lot of other people in this country. If they succeed down this road, eventually they will get to something that impacts you, but then it will be too late and nobody left willing or able to fight or care about you.

Believe me, there was nothing "easy" about dismantling RvW. We pro-lifers have been working at it for years.

Agree....impressive result. It is clear that the way to rights for women Telus heavily on scouts and the left needs tough, sustained, campaign to get some justices with respect for women's rights on the court.

No, you see, you still have it all wrong. "Rights" come from the legislative action, not court decisions.

Exactly, you all ( ie white women) need to vote down ballot blue this November if you really want abortion back.

Uh... no thank you. Far more concerned about other issues.

I am not young. I had this right for almost 50 years as a constitutional protection with the right justices..we....and more importantly...out children....will hold this right again.

You have at least showed us all how to play this game.

Yup.

Play the long game. Lie, cheat, and steal. Flood campaigns (and SCOTUS bank accounts) with dark money.

You want to force all college kids to abstain from sex?

You can’t force your religious views on others.

Who said anything about abstinence? Did you just wake up from a coma? Tell your children to USE BIRTH CONTROL. Birth control was supposed to be the big sexual liberator for women. What happened to that idea?

Thomas said Griswald v Connecticut should be overturned. He has the votes in SCOTUS. He has asked the far right to bring them the case.

Other than voting I don't know what else to do about this. How would they enforce a ban on sodomy, only the Lord knows. However, I do know the LGBT lobby is stronger than the women lobby.

No, Thomas does NOT have the votes to overrule Griswold. No other justices joined his concurring opinion and the majority opinion expressly states that "nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion." Is there are remote possibility? I suppose so, but talking like it's a foregone conclusion is the product of hysteria.

You mean, just like we said they were coming for RvW - remember all of those SCOTUS hearing discussions? VA election discussions?

Sit TF down.

So the courts should not have found against legislation that permitted desegregation and miscegenation laws? Wow!

Griswald v Connecticut afforded women the right to have those IUDs a PPP kept schlepping upthread.

I'm not being naive, just rational. The PP in question made a factual, declarative statement -- that Thomas has the votes to overturn Griswold. The PP provided no credible evidence to support this factual assertion because it is NOT factual, but purely speculative. Would Thomas like to overturn Griswold? He very well might. Is there one or two other justices who also might? Perhaps. But again, that's all speculative and as I pointed out, the available, credible evidence (e.g. Thomas wrote for himself and other majority justices expressly distanced themselves from him) indicates that Thomas does NOT have the votes. But feel free to believe whatever you'd like.

Kristen Willmott, a counselor with Top Tier Admissions in Massachusetts, said students she works with have told her they are taking some top schools in Texas, Florida and Tennessee off their application lists due to their restrictive abortion laws.

We will not pay for any Christian related school (ND, Liberty, etc.) And some states are 100% out of consideration (to include Texas). If that's your jam, sending your girls where they are little more than incubators and may not receive sufficient -if any- reproductive assistance like birth control, go for it. Not for us.

I as pro-choice as anyone, but it just seems dumb and showy to make a major decision such as a college choice on state abortion laws.

What the hell? I'm pro-choice but that quote is insanity. Abortion is not birth control. Someone please inform this girl of that.

+1000. Translation: I don't want to move somewhere that I have to act responsibly and put a lid on my wild sex life.

You want to force all college kids to abstain from sex?

You can’t force your religious views on others.

Who said anything about abstinence? Did you just wake up from a coma? Tell your children to USE BIRTH CONTROL. Birth control was supposed to be the big sexual liberator for women. What happened to that idea?

Thomas said Griswald v Connecticut should be overturned. He has the votes in SCOTUS. He has asked the far right to bring them the case.

Other than voting I don't know what else to do about this. How would they enforce a ban on sodomy, only the Lord knows. However, I do know the LGBT lobby is stronger than the women lobby.

No, Thomas does NOT have the votes to overrule Griswold. No other justices joined his concurring opinion and the majority opinion expressly states that "nothing in this opinion should be understood to cast doubt on precedents that do not concern abortion." Is there are remote possibility? I suppose so, but talking like it's a foregone conclusion is the product of hysteria.

You cannot be that naive? Damn. Those same people also said they followed stare decisis. How did that work out.

At least 4 justices lied during confirmation hearings by saying Roe was "settled law." Roe was reaffirmed in multiple cases, by D and R appointed Justices. ALL of those Justices over 50 eyars were wrong? Yeah, ok. They overturned it BECAUSE THEY COULD. Period. And saying that it is not precedential for other cases that Roe supported is more of them lying out of their a$$es.

And if your daughter gets pregnant in a red state? Even discussing options over the phone with her could put you in jail for life, or bounty hunters could sue you into oblivion.

Still no big deal to tou?
