There is that 1/3 number again

I’m convinced that at least 1/3 of people are just BSC

Pregnancy is God's punishment for sex. It is arrogant for slutty women to try to escape His wrath.

I’m sure this is sarcasm, but I grew up in the Bible Belt and here was my sex talk: if you have sex before marriage, God will punish you by making you pregnant

And that was the end of the discussion of sex.

Don’t forget that girls and women are supposed to be the gatekeepers of sex. Men weren’t ever expected to be responsible.

The interesting part of this to me is that SCOTUS relies on moral authority to maintain its legitimacy as an institution. We do what they say because they are wise and they tell us to. But, they don’t have a lot in the way of enforcement. Some blue states have stocked up on up to 5 years worth of pills. If SCOTUS halts the use of abortion pills and blue state medical boards tell physicians they will not investigate physicians who prescribe, then what? What if aid organizations ignore and start shipping across state lines? How exactly is that enforced. They can make an example of a handful of people, maybe. If the DOJ gets involved.

It’s like Bush v. Gore. They can rule. But if Gore hadn’t agreed to concede and Floridas delegation to the House was blue, then what. Look at how hard enforcing desegregation was. It took decades.

People in power agree to do what SCOTUS says because it’s important to our democracy. But if enough people decide SCOTUS isn’t legitimate, blue states keep prescribing abortion pills and…. What?

If your power lies in your being perceived as legitimate, the fact only 25% of independence say they have confidence in your rulings begs the question. Why not just ignore them?

Republicans have taken us to the precipice of the end of our democracy and no grown ups want to see us fall into the abyss.

It’s time for Democrats to stop being the only adults in the room. Maybe when they go low, we need to kick them in the nuts. After all, it delayed desegregation in the South for a long time.

FDA should stop all sales of pharmaceuticals till this judge and the appeals court judges are impeached and removed.

So children are a punishment, not a blessing?

That is the subtext from the forced birth crowd. You’re a slutty slut who had sex. Now, you have to “deal with the consequences”. Must be awesome to be a kid growing up as an unwanted consequence your mother desperately wanted to abort, but couldn’t. /s

Uh, why do you think people want abortions anyway? Some for medical reasons but most for more ordinary reasons.

Children aren’t a blessing if you don’t want them.

Pregnancy & childbirth are FAR MORE Dangerous medically than abortions.

I do not understand why pro choice groups are not pushing jury nullification for all these radical anti abortion laws. There would be no way to enforce the law if juries did this.
