Roe v Wade struck down

[Anonymous]

I think all women who believe pro-choice should strike. If 50% of the workforce shuts down, big business has to care. And we know our country is run by capitalist and lobbyists.

At 15 weeks, the fetus seems like a baby to me. I remember sharing my pregnancy and a picture of my ultrasound at the beginning of my second trimester and it was indeed a baby. When the baby has a head and body, that is a baby. Assuming you have a baby being on this forum.

"seems like a baby TO ME".

To me is the key part, what you choose should not affect what someone else chooses.

Well, that's your opinion, but that's not medical or religious truth for many. Don't get an abortion - and hope your daughters have strong women in their lives that they can turn to in your abdication.

Would you prefer that he praise the opinion?

Why should any of us have expected the new justices to have so little integrity? Or wisdom?

They are cells in the beginning. I agree.

Second trimester fetuses are not just cells.

Keep stupid, I guess. People have explained the reasons for second (and third) trimester abortions to you endlessly so at this point, you’re willfully choosing ignorance.

Kudos to the SCOTUS on this. Always should have been up to the states.

But why exactly? I'm just looking for the rationale why it should be a state decision and not a federal one. I can't have children anymore so just curious for the next generation.

There is no Constitutional right to an abortion. The Constitution enshrines a very small number of fundamental enumerated and unenumerated rights. It doesn’t protect everything that’s good.

In the midst of a massive social and political fight over abortion, Roe and Casey created an obvious fiction: a Constitutional right to “privacy” that included a right to abortion. This removed the issue from the usual political process, and did irreparable damage to the Court and the country. Suddenly the Court was a 100% political institution.

Today’s decision delivers the issue back to the political process, where it always should have been. I am basically pro choice. I also recognize that someone isn’t crazy, or a bigot or a woman hater, if they really feel like aborting a fetus (particularly one that is viable, can feel pain, etc.) is murder or something close to it. It’s a complicated issue. There is going to have to be a compromise that leaves both sides unhappy. And the debate will continue, people will make arguments, mobilize votes. That’s what’s supposed to happen on hotly contested policy questions in a democracy.

Except women’s. And girls’.

Women are effectively enslaved to religious extremism now. The entire reason the US was founded - liberty and freedom from all that Old World jazz - has been undone. All hail the fascist GOP.

No, apparently they feel “pain”. Not the kind of pain that’s associated with severe disability or prematurity mind you, only the pain associated with their MURDER!!! Right? Isn’t that your thinking? A deformed fetus lives happily in God’s magic juice until the evil abortionist comes along?

There was a compromise. Forced birthers blew it up. Stop pretending to be sensible; you ain’t it.

Wow. Can you be any more hyperbolic?

You have such disdain for people who believe that babies should have a chance at life.

Oh, do tell about your support for assistance to women and families after they have those babies. Or how you support reasonable gun restrictions, so that those babies aren't innocently killed while in school? No? Oh, right, you only care about "babies" when they are in the womb or just at the point of crowning.

The GOP hates women.

The Dems hate the most innocent and vulnerable human life...

The children of Uvalde would like to have a word. Oh wait, they can’t…

So sick of the court media and court sycophants acting like these case were not already decided. This is a well orchestrated plan to over turn the will of the people. Remember republicans you have to have the will of the people.

So you support affordable and accessible abortions up to 12 weeks?

I think there should be carveouts like incest, rape and obviously medical problems and complications. I just don’t think a mom should be able to terminate at 4 months as a form of birth control.
