[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think most Americans agree with the following:

Safe and legal abortion through the first trimester.
Safe and legal abortion in the third trimester if the health of the mother or the viability of the baby are at risk.

Why not just pass legislation that codifies this; keep the Hyde Amendment in place to satisfy the religious right.

Because the “religious right” will not be satisfied until they can tell you when, where and how to have kids.  How to raise those kids. Who to love and marry. Etc.

They aren’t satisfied controlling their lives. The American Taliban— which is a distinct minority in this country—  feels the need to control every aspect of yours too. [/quote]

If it is legislation that is affirmed by a court, then it becomes the law of the land and the religious right can move to Kabul.[/quote]

No, we are going to overturn Roe v Wade.

After your tantrum, you’ll learn how to pay for and use bc. You’ll survive.

But you’re not. Because even the conservative Court realizes that taking away a right that is widely engrained in American mentality, that most women have had their entire life, and that is very popular (70% do not want it overturned) just because they have a different political composition completely destroys their legitimacy and opens the door to 250 years of case law being called into question.  They might chip away at Roe. The might narrow it.  But they will find a way not to overturn it and move it back to the states.  In this case, Roberts will have to bite the bullet and cross over. And he will to save the Court.

They are also not going to get ride of a woman’s right to birth control, the right to same sex marriage, the right to interracial marriage and Brown v Board.  They may allow busing to stop, but they won’t let segregation come back.  These are huge cases in America.

Overturning Roe would literally destroy the standing of the Supreme Court. [/quote]
