“The Dobbs decision of 15 weeks” what is he even talking about

“…So when Missouri’s abortion ban took effect after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade last year, Barnes and Taves decided to fight back. Along with rabbis and ministers across several denominations, they joined a first-of-its-kind lawsuit arguing Missouri blurred the line between church and state, imposed a particular Christian idea of when life begins over the beliefs of other denominations, and threatened their ability to practice their religions.

As the nation nears the one year anniversary of the fall of Roe, the Missouri case is one of nearly a dozen challenges to abortion restrictions filed by clergy members and practitioners of everything from Judaism to Satanism that are now making their way through state and federal courts — a strategy that aims to restore access to the procedure and chip away at the assumption that all religious people oppose abortion.

In fact, many of the lawsuits are wielding religious protection laws enacted by anti-abortion state officials to target those officials’ own restrictions on the procedure.

In Indiana, a group of Jewish, Muslim and other religious plaintiffs sued over the state’s near-total abortion ban. Their argument: that it violates the Religious Freedom Restoration Act signed into law in 2015 by then-Gov. Mike Pence. A lower court judge sided with them in December and blocked the state’s ban from taking effect — the most significant win the religious challengers have notched so far.

Then, earlier this month, the Indiana judge granted the challengers class action status, meaning a win for them could apply to anyone in the state whose religion supports abortion access in cases prohibited by state law.”

Famous Black women die from childbirth complications all the time. Recently an Olympian. No one cares.

Sorry, should have specified that in order to get picked up into the media zeitgeist, it’s going to have to be a bubbly blonde White woman, preferably with a largish social media following. For whatever reason (racism), the deaths of Black women in childbirth still go largely unremarked as if they don’t matter. They do.

Arizona for Abortion Access, a coalition of reproductive rights organizations including the ACLU of Arizona and Planned Parenthood Advocates of Arizona, says it had gathered 506,892 petition signatures as of this past weekend, with more than three months to go until the July 3 deadline to submit the signatures to Arizona’s secretary of state. The threshold to put a measure on the ballot is 383,923 signatures, and while some typically get invalidated in the verification process, the amendment appears on track to go before voters this fall.

Good.

That’s been happening. Some really good ads on this issue re-elected the Democratic governor of Kentucky.

I would guess such a thing is already in the works. And Republicans will boo hoo hoo about it endlessly, that it’s exploitation and too much. In other words, showing forced birthers that their votes have had consequences.

If Democrats were smart they'd run ads with sweet moms who almost died and left their kids motherless because they couldn't access life saving abortions.

We need to start printing out stuff like this and sticking it to bathroom walls so that people know what plans the GOP has in store if they win.

That’s what it comes down to, isn’t it? Forced birthers don’t trust women, have contempt for us. They think we’re dirty, bloodthirsty luts who are inherently incapable of making sound decisions. It’s misogyny and it manifests as religious extremists wanting to make our decisions for us.

They want to punish the “sluts”.
