Ironically it helped to drive people away from the Catholic church. But I guess they can count on some (not all) of the remaining.

They ever find out who leaked the info?

No, but it was a friendly “investigation” headed by Bushie Michael Chertoff who never even interviewed the Justices. Bunch of reporting at the end of the leak thread here: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/4320/1055327.page And there’s a lot of circumstantial evidence that it was probably Alito: https://www.dcurbanmom.com/jforum/posts/list/1095119.page

So is she now allowed a D&C? Of course Axios' terrible reporting doesn't include this information.

She should be. One of the criteria for preventing abortion is the heartbeat rule. Therefore the ban no longer applies when the fetus no longer has a heartbeat.

Remember when pundits pondered if abortion would be a motivator for the mid-terms, 6 months after Roe was overturned...As these stories keep coming out those pundits (mostly male) look even stupider now than they did last year.

3 generations are headed to the polls about this. Grandmas who had to fight the first fight, moms who had basically held this right their entire lives, and daughters who are going to fight the fight again. They talk about it and they encourage each other to get registered, get involved and get to the polls. Hopefully with millions of allies in their grandpas, dads, sons, brothers, uncles,friends, etc.

Yep. Virginia GOP learned that one the hard way. The south we are not.

I don’t fault Axios for reporting, but it feels clucking ghoulish as hell that we’re watching along with women as their pregnancies end slowly and their lives become more endangered.

So here is a guy that is basically a felon, telling women how to manage their bodies and threatening prison for doctors and nurses trying to do their jobs.

They closed ranks around him because Trump ordered them to. Trump is responsible for Paxton still being in office and responsible for the horrible things he’s doing to this woman.

For as anti-LGBQT as they are, those GOP boys sure like grabbing their ankles for Trump.
