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]
It was precedent that had been affirmed about two dozen times.[/quote]

But not with these new anti choice zealots on the court.  Women need to get some representation for their basic rights back on the court.  Switch out these old men with some people with respect for women and change it back to a court that will stand up for us  [/quote]

We are screwed because we have to wait for several of the rwnj justices to die [/quote]

Well, Thomas is 80 so at least there’s that.[/quote]

He will be replaced of course at some point.  What is the plan to make sure his replacement has intention to safeguard women's reproductive rights in ALL states.[/quote]
It would probably go a long way if Democrats didn’t vote and then scatter, confused about what they supported mere weeks before. I guess that’s probably driven in [b]online spaces by right wingers pretending to be Democrats as we’ve seen on here so many times (“I’m a Democrat, I voted for Clinton twice, then W twice, then Obama twice so you know my bonafides but I think that this bill just goes too far in respecting women. I just can’t co sign it for the following right wing reasons…”)[/b]

Support the more progressive candidate. Stop backing off when we have a majority. Stop getting all faux moderate and pretending like AOC is advocating for hanging the VP for disagreeing with her. Stop pretending like progressives have some whacky off the wall goals. Some are, some aren’t, but our Overton window is currently in the entry way to the house of fascism. Maybe 40 years of right wing dominance is long enough and maybe we shouldn’t privatize everything and maybe corporations shouldn’t have the same rights as people and maybe we should get money out of politics. [/quote]

DP.  Regarding the bolded, that's absurd.  There are plenty of Democrats who DO feel that Dems have gone way too far left.  And there are also plenty of pro-choice Republicans.  You can support either party but still not agree with everything that party represents.  It sounds like you are one of the far left people that mainstream Democrats are not interested in aligning with.  [/quote]
