Things are pretty different for now. I think you are really hoping that you’re going to be protected, but I think that you and the others who are pretending that this isn’t a completely radical, anti-American decision are deluding yourselves and the tiniest crack of awareness is dawning. You’re next. You’re not protected from the fascism, either. |

This is another cause to which I would give. I don’t think genteel White womanhood should protect these women. There are lots of parallels between this itch of a decision and the enslavement of Black people back in the day, with regressive White women being the ones working to destroy the lives of others then and now. We have more technology now. If they want to make other women feel the burn of oppression, it’s fair that they should feel it, too. |
They can make it illegal, or at least punitively costly, to travel out of state get an abortion. |
I’m one of the PP’s who never believed Roe was properly decided. So, today”s decision is correct IMO, regardless of whether I’m personally happy with the real world outcome. |
Oh well in that case ![]() |
Thank you. And originally it was a constitutional right because? |
That’s because you aren’t that bright. You fundamentally do no understand Roe. Liberty is a fundamental right, or was until today. That was the essence of Roe. |

Oh well who cares how many women are forced to give birth to babies they don’t want, derailing their entire lives, who cares how many women die, who cares how much more poverty and child abuse there will be, how many more criminals in 18 years, who cares how chaotic and terrible things become! You get to feel like your reading of a decision is right, and all that matters is that you get to call up your law school classmates and snark “I told you so!”? ![]() |
Because all people are guaranteed liberty under the constitution, which can only be abridged by the state given compelling interests. The states now need no reason to infringe upon your rights. Great job conservatives. |
+1 But it never really was about states rights, was it? The only reason "states rights" became a Republican catchphrase is because "we love slavery" and "f*** women and minorities" is déclassé. |
And serious crime in about eighteen years. |
So originally it was agreed that people had freedom to have an abortion (because why?) and the constitution upheld this freedom but now states can curtail this freedom (based on what)? I'm trying to understand the legality. Not the practicality. |
I've still never been able to understand why all these bigoted states want to create laws to essentially guarantee there will be more poor and minority children in their state? Children they definitely do not want to pay to feed, house, or educate. |
