Organized, well-funded misogyny.

A lot of white women are very involved in the federalist society and the anti abortion movement. The question is where is the democrat organization like the federalist society? Why didn’t the dems reform the court when they had the chance? I think it is people like you who take the simplistic argument that it is just white men doing this that makes it easy for everyone to throw up their hands and walk away. Look behind the white men and you will find the white women who support and vote for them.

The Dem equivalent to the Federalist Society is the American Constitution Society, of which former Sen. Russ Feingold is the Director. We can discuss whether it’s as effective as the Federalist Society or not and why, but it does exist.

Why didn’t Dems reform the court when they had the chance? Because they believed that they could control the court through normal methods - by winning elections and nominating/approving justices. The Dems never imagined that McConnell would obstruct a legitimately nominated SC justice for a year and even during that process thought that they would win electorally and be able to fix that obstructionism through the normal processes.

Dems are fundamentally weaker than Republicans because they believe in the existing system and processes for change whereas the Republucans don’t and are this willing to blow government up in order to obtain, maintain and exercise power.

100% accurate. And D's need to get their SH-- together. They completely blew it on the courts issue. And now SCOTUS is little more than a Delegation from the Vatican deciding our rights.

Why shouldn't they? See mass unrest about this? Conservative billionaires are laughing their asses off.

Biden’s judicial nominees are getting seated faster than any other modern president’s. You just don’t hear about it like we did with Trump because they’re not unqualified disasters.

I don't need to change your mind.

Women are humans, too. And their bodies go through a lot of trauma in being pregnant and giving birth. And that is just the "normal" births. You're elevating the fetus over the mother, over the mother's wishes, over the mother's personal medical decisions.

Who's covering the medical costs for pregnancy and birth? What about post-partum medical and mental issues (PPD)? Did you consider that? Do the women still get maternity leave? What are you doing about the maternal death rate in this country?

So, fine. A fetus is a human to you. What are women to you? Don't bother . . . we already know. They are nothing to you.

+1 These forced birthers are ducking monsters.

Why aren’t you fighting for the up to 50% of in-utero humans who die of spontaneous abortion each year? Imagine how many human lives could be saved if more tax dollars were directed to identifying and preventing the cause of spontaneous abortion.

Silly you. Because Jesus wants those women to miserable that they lost a pregnancy; so you see, the forced birthers who are making women miserable by forcing them to carry a pregnancy they don’t want are literally doing Jesus’s work for Him! This is exactly what Jesus meant when he said “love they neighbor as thyself.” Everyone knows this. /s

Our system of laws puts the rights of certain people before others all the time. I don’t give a flying fart if you think that clump of cells is a human being. Even if I concede it is, which I don’t, my life is more important and damn you to hell for saying it’s not and sending women to their graves because of it. I mean it sincerely. You will be judged for your political games.

What a dumb ass comment. It's not a mainstream position to argue against abortions in case of life or serious health threats to the mother.

And I’m sorry to break it to you, but pregnancy is a serious health threat to every woman. Look up US maternal mortality rates and get back to me. And that’s with legal abortion possible. Pregnancy needs to be a choice. Period.

We already do. It's called prenatal care.

LOL, thanks for showing just how ignorant you are. Overturning Roe simply turns over the issue to the states until a constitutional amendment can be passed that enshrines abortion as a right. If a state passes a complete abortion ban even if the life/health of the mother is in jeopardy, the solution is simple: move.

So flipping simple. You disingenuous ass. Meanwhile women will die. You will have blood on your hands. God hates hypocrites.
