“We hold that Roe and Casey must be overruled," Justice Alito writes in an initial majority draft

If they’ve never been alive outside the womb, they’re potential life. Under the law (which is what we’re discussing) babies aren’t granted the status of living person until they’re born alive. Besides, this draft opinion is not grounded in science.

As I have raged and mourned this draft opinion in conversation with my early 20's self who could never have imagined this day two decades ago, one thought and feeling has hardened in my mind - anger at the "progressive" left. Their extremely self-righteous Twitter warriorism has cost not only women, but POC and LGBTQ people the basis of their rights. I truly hope they feel sitting out the election in 2016 was worth it. We have them and their ignorance of how politics actually works to blame for Gorsuch, Kavanaugh and Barrett. So much for their "idealism" - they've handed the extreme right-wing the keys to kingdom. When will they wake the f#$k up?

Are you talking about Bernie Bros?

+1, The Lancet became just another political rag after they started adjusting their publication based on political agenda. They wave around a biology book while telling the masses that we must trust them without question on their interpretation of what's contained in it. To do anything less is to be an anti-science heretic.

LOL, stop blaming the progressives. Look at the bill that Chuck Schumer put up for a vote. If they wrote it to protect abortion after 15 weeks, it would have drawn republican votes. But no, it was written to remove all restrictions on abortion - even for the purpose of choosing the child's sex. This is not at all what the US citizens want when they think about keeping abortions legal.

Are you saying that a medical journal is out of its lane to argue that denying patients life-saving medical care will kill them? Or is your problem that a medical journal has come down in favor of keeping it legal for doctors to leverage medical procedures that allow them to keep their patients alive? Or maybe you're most worried about the fact that a medical journal has rightfully recognized that it's better for licensed physicians to perform medical procedures that people are going to have done regardless of whether they can find a doctor to do it safely.

They are worried. Their forced birth propaganda sources have convinced them that women aren’t people and they assume everyone else feels the same, so it’s a shock to the system to realize that outside of the forced birth cult, abortion means something very different.

Look at you, hating on a a great common sense bill that no “moderate Republican” (there aren’t any) could support.

I’m no fan of the progressive wing, but this anger is sorely misplaced.

So basically you wanted Democrats to put up something more restrictive than Roe, because you don’t support Roe.

Sorry, but this falls squarely at the feet of "moderate liberals" who didn't feel the need to codify our rights in law. Who were content to stand behind "well it's settled precedent." Maybe instead of villifying progressives, you could start actually working with us to actually get something done. Continuing to blame us for all your problems and expecting us to support you in elections is crazy. When will y'all wake the f#ck up and realize the "moderate left" is playing you?

PP is mad at a few thousand terminally online Twitterers and Bernie Bros and not the 63 million troglodytes who gleefully voted to make The Handmaid's Tale a reality in 2016.

DP. No, this falls squarely at the feet of Republicans who actually strategized on how to take control of SCOTUS and who are passing abortion bans and restrictions ay the state level. How often since Roe was implemented have Democrats had the Presidency, the House, and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate?

Allowing abortions with no restrictions is not a common sense bill.

I don't support Roe because it was a bad decision, not because I believe abortions should be illegal. This is a job for the legislature, and the Senate, once more, refused to do its job. I support legislation that would protect abortion prior to 15 weeks, and I celebrate the overturning of Roe (if it happens).

They don't care. They are as misogynistic as the far right. They think if they can't get exactly what they want when they want it, better to burn the whole thing down - and now they're burning the whole thing down.
