[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]Good gosh, the left are such alarmists. Overturning RvW just means putting it to the states to decide. Virginia would like a 20 week ban with exceptions. If that is too extreme for you, sorry, but you are in the minority on this. European countries have similar laws, and no one is up in arms on the issue there. While most people do not favor eliminating abortions, they do favor some restrictions. If you are in favor of third trimester abortions just because someone feels like it, I truly feel sorry for you.[/quote]

You know what else Europe has? That's right - universal healthcare. So you can actually obtain birth control, prenatal care, maternity care, and even abortion through the national health care system.

And I think all of you folks will be singing a much different tune when the GOP starts coming for your birth control. Because that's next. If there's no Roe, there's also no Griswold.

What on earth are you going on about?  This isn't even a discussion anyone is having.  Birth control is readily available.  [/quote]

Oh my sweet summer child. I barely know where to start. Go read or read about Griswold v. Connecticut, the 1965 USSC case that recognized the right of married couples to freely obtain and use contraception. It's the same reasoning that was used in Roe.  I am confident that once Roe is overturned a very conservative state will start legislating who has the right to contraception. The people that have been fighting to overturn Roe for the last 49 years are not just people who have a reasoned and sincerely held belief about when life begins.

We've already seen multiple efforts to limit access to contraception based on religious beliefs - Hobby Lobby case anyone? Remember when college student Sandra Fluke testified in Congress about contraception and was called a slut? That was in 2012, barely 10 years ago. Do you think those attitudes are not still prevalent today?

I think reproductive rights will be a slow burn issue - might take 15-20 years to really feel the effects and then the pendulum will swing on this again.
