[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]
I was here 50 years ago...in no way do I believe we have moved back.

BTW, siding with organized religion? Based on the rulings that is more than just a stretch.[/quote]

You were here 50 years ago? Seems like your powers of critical reasoning have not improved with time.

Yes, obviously it’s pretty clear, based on this rulings, further erode or obfuscate the separation of church and state. Schools have free resign to throw prayers around wherever they want, you can put up a Christian nationalist flag on a state building now or a park, which apparently many nutty Americans would like to see these days, and religious schools can receive public funding to advance their nonsensical nonsense. Watch for more religion friendly decisions like these to come out. The silent majority of us, those who respect spirituality, but really aren’t that religious or into organized religion, get to watch as essentially Christofascists further mold the country in their image.

I mean I get it. Young people are too smart for all this crap. They honestly don’t care that much about church and that’s a shock to regressive everywhere. You’re doing your best to enshrine organized religion into law and it’s working. The problem is when more and more people just stop giving a fk about church, which they are, and these rulings will hopelessly advance, you all will just keep losing members and allow a more neutral form of governance and law to replace your terrible Supreme Court rulings.[/quote]
When I was in school there were prayers offered over the pa system. Today?

This whole stirring up the pot is nothing more than an attempt to promote political agendas. And given the fact Justice Ginsberg questioned R v W as she did along the same lines as the ruling was handed down recently, along with all the other challenges and questions over the years, shows me that it was a slippery slope to begin with. If you read the history, the Washington Post had a very good write up about that recently, then you see that even in 1973 they had deep questions as to the actions they wanted to take but weren't certain of the foundation of the argument and the eventual outcome. One stark point was Blackman questioning when it stopped being a fetus and became a child. He felt after the first trimester that would be the case.

Back to the 50 year thing...my daughters and granddaughters are far better off, with greater protections and potential than was in place 50 years ago. And no way do I see a decision related to R v W being essentially handed back to the states changing that.[/quote]
Well, the blood of all the women who will die is all over your hands. Human/civil rights should not depend on being the daughter/granddaughter of the privileged. [/quote]
Nicely worded but reminds me of an empty pinata.

As to the last sentence, we have laws to cover that but alas we live in an imperfect nation.[/quote]
