[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Or is there just apathy? I cant tell.

Between abortion and the three recent Supreme Court cases siding with organized religion, it seems like we are just heading back to a time of superstition.

I mean really what the fk just happened? What is this?[/quote]

No not stunned.  These are the correct decisions and should never have been made in the first place.  Congress should have addresed abortion.  They are the failure here.  It was never a Consitutional protection.  The religion stuff is right.   Read the 1st amendment.  Courts went sideways on this long ago.[/quote]

Exactly.  This is a job for Congress and the democratic process - good for the justices for recognizing this.  They’re not there to legislate.[/quote]

Except that Roe has been the case law for 50 years, impacts millions of women, was supposedly settled. obviously, to a fascist, sending it to congress is a “good” idea, in the sense that anyone who understands legislation knows that it has no chance at becoming law. Also, this case opens up the door to end gay marriage and gay sex and all that other icky stuff Jesus doesn’t like apparently.[/quote]

Actually, I'm one of the above posters and I would very much like to see abortion rights codified in law.  But it most definitely was NOT "supposedly settled" - it's had dozens of challenges over the years.  It's not the Supreme Court's place to legislate.  This should have been a states' issue long ago.  And it has nothing to do with gay marriage.   :roll:  :roll: [/quote]

Well, it’s a human rights and civil rights issue, under your logic Brown v. B.Ed was wrongly decided. Nutty. [/quote]

Uh, no.  In Brown v Board of Education, the notion of "separate but equal" was found to be [b]*unconstitutional*[/b].  There is no such constitutional right regarding abortion.  Therefore, it should be decided by the states.  Sorry this is difficult for you to follow.  [/quote]
