I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something up with Kennedy’s son at the bank who was doing loans. |

I’m tired of the horrible child/rape scenarios as justification. They’re a very small percentage of cases. But let’s talk about the vast majority of women… How about having to carry that unwanted child for 9 months? How about the cost of having that kid in our hellhole of a medical system? How about giving birth and hoping for no complications in our horrible maternal death rate country? What about time off work? No pay for recovery - parental leave is inadequate? What if there are complications and the woman must go on bed rest? Who pays her bills? What about the social stigma? It was recent history that just being married and pregnant was a source of shame! This doesn’t even begin to address the psychological impacts! People talk about being pregnant and giving birth in the very abstract, largely because they’re men. I have had two kids, which were wanted, and I had a horrible time pregnant and actually flat-lined during my csection. Pregnancy and birth are hard when you want the baby! |

Yes! SCOTUS was expanded to implement laws that the majority do NOT want. |

Meant the new judges appointed are implementing/upholding laws the majority do not want. |

| Rape is an act of dominance, control, and violence. Telling someone what they can or cannot do with their own body is an act of dominance, control, and violence. Both are acts of fundamental sadism. |

I'm guessing if Roe is overturned you'll see a "straight" 6-week ban coming out in several states. There'll be calls to pack the court for sure but I can't see that getting past Manchema, much less any Republicans.
The Texas bans open a Pandora's box I'm pretty sure no one really wants open. But who knows, SCOTUS may be just that stupid/blinkered/confident the Dems won't ever play that dirty. But ... I'm not seeing how this does anything other than make the usual bicoastal suspects from Blue Fortress states (states that HRC won by >10%) angrier. And nearly all of us are just that, the usual bicoastal suspects, myself included. How many people are actually going to go from R->D or NV->D? So yay, NY Dems win 68-30 instead of 64-34. Big whoop. CT and WA become even more Democratic. Yay, I suppose. Does running on a platform of abortion rights do anything for Dems in the Midwest and swingy Sun Belt states? Some states seem to WANT to be in Ireland 1980. Go ahead and call me a concern troll or an Eeyore. But when has running on abortion rights EVER won anything outside the Blue Fortress? |

Given that 65% of Americans do not want Roe overturned, overturning it will make folks angry. Also there are (were?) many pro-choice Republicans that felt the government shouldn’t be involved in personal life decisions. But most of those Republicans left the party because of Trump. (Most of my GOP family is in this camp.) |

And they’re pretty much the only thing the GOP stands for. |

Exactly. The GOP wants to fck over everyone else. |
