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

I could not live in Texas or Florida at this time, and even though I'm established in my state I would be open to moving to states next door if my state became a Texas or Florida. At the same time, I think I would first get a lot more involved in politics to change my state before leaving it. My Congresspeople are already voting as I'd like them to on the majority of issues now, so I vote and write letters but nothing else. If I were stuck in a deep Red state, though, I would be deeply unhappy these days. I feel they are being given permission to push the envelope ever farther on so many issues - guns, women's rights, LGBTQ+, division of church and state - and I am scared of how far they'll go.

Here comes the summer of rage.

Typical liberals, don’t get what they want so they riot. One of these days we’ll get tired of you and riot right back at you.

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.

Miscarriage will be investigated.

Getting a "risky" procedure while pregnant like having emergency surgery or even doing amniocentisis would subject the mother to criminal charges if something happens.

Yes ladies, stop being so “irresponsible,” trying to have babies after 30! I hope pp runs for Congress as an R.

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

We should have pushed for Garland and someone should have encouraged RBG to retire. We hold some of the blame. Not to mention all the Dems who voted for Trump.

Please explain exactly how anyone would have pushed for Garland? The Senate is inherently undemocratic and the Manchins snd Sinemas are okay with that because it gives them power to wield.
