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

[Anonymous]

Imagine having your ancestors leave Europe due to persecution by Catholics, only to be persecuted by the equivalent of the effing Spanish Inquisition on the SCOTUS, where two of those Catholics don't even belong.

I will not have my liberty downgraded because he is a sexist pig.

I will not be willingly enslaved.

Just move to Maryland or DC. Problem solved.

Not if there's a nationwide ban.

Very unlikely to happen. Abortion wasnt illegal throughout the US before RvW so it doesnt logically follow that it will be banned after.

Abortion wasn’t politicized before the way it is now. Sure Catholics opposed it but it wasn’t a core tenet of right wing ideology until later

Pre-1980's Catholics practiced what they preached. They also didn't impose their religion on to others the way the Evangelicals are now.

There is scant evidence this has happened due to anyone's religion. Many people believe abortion is murder and they have concerns with murder for many reasons, some moral and some practical.

But they are fine with the death penalty

did the baby do something wrong and go to trail to get aborted?

DP. If you believe in the sanctity of life, you should be opposed to the willful taking of all life.

+1 Is life sacred or not? Are some lives less sacred than others?

Unless the baby is guilty you don't execute

Why not? We have executed many people over the years who turned out to be not guilty.

Ok how about an abortion court

No one carries a fetus for 6 months and then decides, nah, I don't want it.

“No one”. There you have it. The omniscient forum poster has spoken. We should all believe them.

I have news for Pete Ricketts: A 12 year old impregnated by her father is still a baby too.

And yet you know such people who have such a heart for embryos will tell you that those babies murdered at Sandy Hook were just collateral damage in the war to protect the right to bear arms. Disgusting.

Yup. Forced birthers. They DGAF about “life”.

People say this, but most of them also want exceptions for rape and incest. If you are okay with abortion if the pregnancy resulted from rape or incest, then you don't truly believe it's the same as murdering a 3 day old infant.

Exactly so.

In some circumstances it is justified. Why is that? Because of the pregnant woman’s own life and well being. This decision says she has no such rights. Constitution says otherwise. Roe is good law.

It is extremely rare, yes. But it’s definitely not “no one.” This woman aborted her healthy 7-month fetus. The mother’s life/health also were not in danger.

“ Vial was 22 at the time. She had recently ended her relationship and said she was sure she did not want to continue the pregnancy.

"I was already having a tough time in my life in a lot of other ways and it just felt like one more thing I really couldn't bear, or provide for, and I was panicked, I guess," Vial said.

Vial found a clinic in New Mexico that told her they would end her pregnancy up until 28 weeks — the beginning of the third trimester.

She scrambled, with the help of family, friends and a nonprofit that helps women pay for abortions, to pull together the fee of more than $10,000.

"[There were] a lot of people telling me how they felt about my situation without me asking — friends, family, strangers," Vial said. "I mean, you tell someone that you're seven months pregnant and having an abortion, they've got some things to say."

"People I thought were my friends made it clear to me that they disapproved," she said. "And that's fine. It wasn't changing my mind."”

Note that it wasn’t third trimester

But if Republicans want to agree on a ban at the point of viabilty except in cases of threat to mother’s health or where the fetus has issues incompatible with life then I think a consensus could be reached.

No bans *earlier than viability*. Not just a blanket ban at viability.

And viability is exactly what we have today with RvCasey.

Dp- also this girl found out she was pregnant 2 weeks before her 28 week abortion. And the linked article makes it clear this girl was the anomaly. It’s filled with women who made choices because of healthcare.

There will always be slip ups and edge cases but if the law was that it's a life people would be more careful. So it's a chicken or the egg thing.

Right; like I said, it’s very rare. But I can’t believe it was even allowed, 4 weeks past the typical viability cut-off, for a healthy fetus. Even if the mom was at risk, you’d typically just deliver a 28-weeker.

There's definitely a one-sided agenda to this forum. Just have to accept it. It's a private forum. Most posters here want people to believe mist abortions are done for extreme medical reasons. That's not the truth, or there wouldn't have been over 60 million aborted babies since Roe vs Wade.

I don’t think anyone thinks first trimester abortions are done for extreme medical reasons. Those make up the majority of abortions (I’m assuming you already know this).

The NIPT is done at nine weeks, so plenty of people terminate very wanted pregnancies to prevent having a child who suffers from extreme medical issues.
