Yes. If they had seated Merrick Garland, and RBG retired during the proper window, this would not have happened.

The news stories about blonde Southern Christian Instagram mommies dying from miscarriages will write themselves.

Don't say we didn't warn ya.

Abortion won't stop. It will just be the rich that get it.


Guess Mississippi will limit abortions to 15 weeks pregnant and under.

That’s 96% of abortions anyhow and still a carve out for health if the women.


Who’s out there hemming and hawing about getting an abortion for 15, 20, 25 weeks? Waiting for a payout or an engagement? Sounds like drama.


Sounds like dire fetal anomalies and other unexpected pregnancy complications that arise later in pregnancy.


20 week scan is when many find out about conditions incompatible with life. I had a life-threatening pregnancy. The danger, as we already see in countries that severely restrict abortion is that doctors faced with a woman who is doing poorly will hem and haw about whether she is truly dying or wait for the baby's heartbeat to stop before giving life-saving treatment. I am personally deeply uncomfortable with abortion, but no woman should die, be permanently injured, or lose her fertility because she was denied medical treatment due to pregnancy.

I feel physically ill. This is so horrific. I am terrified for all women and people who can get pregnant in this country.

It's horrific that a 6-3 majority thinks so little of precedent, of lying under oath, or of women's privacy rights. I had an abortion at age 22--so grateful I lived in a country (not the US) where abortion was safe and legal.
There will be A LOT of litigation surrounding this, since your right to an abortion will vary depending on where you live--denying you equal protection of the laws.


Crazy how the rationale is that this isn't in the text of the constitution but the second amendment is WHOLLY modified by gun rights being predicated on being part of a well regulated militia and this is ignored.

Kudos to the SCOTUS on this. Always should have been up to the states.


So a womens life expectancy, availability of healthcare, her decision-making abilities, her income, etc. should be determined by the STATE SHE LIVES IN? GTFOH.

Please don’t do this. Take that energy and get out and register people to vote! The only way we can enshrine this as a right is for Congress to pass legislation. That means electing Democrats up and down the ballot!

Protesting will do nothing. registering people to vote or talking to your friends family neighbors of the importance of voting and voting for Democrats is what needs to be done.

Mitch will claim it as his crowning achievement. And unfortunately for American women and their families he won’t be wrong.

Is the rationale purely and legally to have the states decide, this is out of the purvey of Fed and constitution?



5-4 to strike down Roe v Wade. 6-3 to uphold the 16 week ruling.


So the real change is nationally it moved from 20-24 weeks to 16.
States can make it more time if desired. Carve outs for mom health and baby genetic risks?


No. 5-4 carries the day. States can ban abortion outright and many already have, since they have trigger laws on the books.


Whats the second vote on 16 weeks for then?

That's interesting that you used the word "trash." That's exactly where over 60 million growing babies were placed.


No. They weren’t babies you idiot.

I just had a miscarriage this fall. My “baby” was flushed down the toilet. Just because my embryo’s chromosomal issue happen to show up at 6 weeks doesn’t mean it was any less of an issue than fetuses that can’t survive after birth.

You are acting like trash by denigrating my miscarriage and saying I just “flushed” a baby. It was a clump of cells that had the potential to be a baby. No 10 week embryo is a baby.

Learn some science.


They were, in fact, babies growing inside their mothers.


If it was a baby then it would have been alive when it came out of the PP. But it was not because it was a clump of cells that was not able to grow into a baby. A baby is the result of a fetus growing inside a woman for 9 months. If the PP flushed her miscarriage waste down the toilet then it was obviously not a baby.

Probably not for at least 20+ years when Democrats maybe can get a liberal majority back on the Court.
