I don't know if people who post this sort of thing really don't understand what's going on or think it just won't happen or what. Like the person upthread who appears to have never heard of Griswold v. Connecticut and the right to privacy. Educate yourselves.
You've gotta understand that the Supreme Court, and especially this Supreme Court, is a political institution, the foundation of which was laid a generation ago. Due to their lifetime tenure and ivory tower status in the USA, they don't really ever have to feel the true effects of their rulings, which they cloak in ridiculous language in order to dress up the fact that they want to turn back the clock on jurisprudence in this country to 50 or 60 years ago. And they are succeeding.
There is a way to stop it, but it involves making the decision to not support Republicans until Republicans pledge to accept the will of the people. And holding Democrats feet to the fire until that will is done.
This is awfully condescending from someone who didn't understand my point. I worked in politics for several decades, I understand how the system works thanks. Republicans can try to pass whatever they want, but when nearly 100% of Americans utilize something they won't very very far. This will be the end of the party.
Well maybe your should have laid out your credentials instead of a two sentence quip in the same vein as it will never happen. We've been telling ourselves that for the better part of a decade now. I don't believe it anymore.

No, they just think they are exempt from their own party's laws and regulations for some reason.

Too funny. You know that conservatives get abortions, right, but that's never stopped them from pushing for abortion bans.

I’ve been waiting for the party to split in two and therefore become unelectable in our first-past-the-post system for almost a decade, meanwhile we’ll be stuck with their Levitican federal judges for the rest of my life.
This is the first post Roe presidential.

Again, it's apparent that a large segment of Republicans don't think laws apply to them, particularly MAGAs, Evangelicals, and conservative Catholics

You don't think the wives, sisters, and daughters of all these legislators have had abortions? They'll still find a way to do it in secret, just like they always did.

On what grounds do you believe you have the right to use them?

If Griswold was overturned, they’d be able to ban condoms under Comstock.
