quote [ The U.S. Supreme Court has overturned the constitutional right to an abortion, reversing Roe v. Wade, the court's five-decade-old decision that guaranteed a woman's right to obtain an abortion. ]

By the way, they're just getting started.
Justice Clarence Thomas, in his concurring opinion overturning Roe v. Wade, laid out a vision that prompted concerns about what other rights could disappear: The same rationale that the Supreme Court used to declare there was no right to abortion, he said, should also be used to overturn cases establishing rights to contraception, same-sex consensual relations and same-sex marriage. |

The same argument could be made for Loving v Virginia couldn't it? Interesting that Thomas has no issue with that one.

I predict a large increase in back-alley abortions and babies born to mothers who can't afford to raise them.

What people probably aren't realizing is they've got momentum. They've got their ducks in a row and they're going to keep going. Absolutely gay rights will be gutted, and so too will be rights to contraceptives. I can all but guarantee you that the right to discriminate for any reason will be declared constitutional by this court. It won't be the same as repealing civil rights, but it will have much the same effect. We've hit "too late" and things are absolutely going to get worse before there's an effective correction, if democracy still exists for there to be one down the line.
That being said, abortion isn't a valid debate. Outlawing it is straight up a crime against humanity. Making it a law doesn't change that. Simply getting the freedom back isn't justice, making the justices who did this face justice for their crimes against humanity is needed. |

Even ignoring how politically ignorant you are, I didn't think you needed me to spell out to you that MOCKING POOR PEOPLE FOR WANTING HELP IS BAD.
|
Hugh E. said @ 5:39pm GMT on 25th Jun
It's not mocking poor people for wanting help, it is mocking the selfish whiners who say they won't vote for the Democrat because they don't support their pet issue.
Most people, especially poor people, don't have student loans. Half the people, including poor people, have a uterus. Political ignorance is thinking something is settled, so let's move on to the next thing. You've got to churn the soil to grow. |

he didn't either
They totally would have though!
Wow, so much churning. if only I could remember who fucked over the multiple women accusing Clarence Thomas of sexual harassments at his hearings.... |

it's because theyre complicit by not actually taking action.
do you not get that just paying lipservice while not raising your hand is the same as doing nothing? |
steele said[1] @ 4:13pm GMT on 26th Jun
It's even worse because it blocks people who are actually trying to do something from doing so. Nancy Pelosi endorsed an anti-abortion candidate over a progressive one. Surprising no one but liberals.

I suspect a rash of shooting in the US as people gun down the judges, lawyers and Republican party members who took part in this and in the obstruction of gun control.
And, except for those caught in the crossfire I have little or no pity. |

So you are saying a non-reactive reaction?
I suspect I am closer to the truth on this one. Especially when they come for other contraceptive controls and same sex unions. Passive resistance will not sway anyone. |

The Jan. 6 committee may be waiting for the DOJ to request a criminal referral or that none be made, or more likely for their hearings to first be concluded.

Well she testified he allowed (or wanted to allow) armed civilians stating "they aren't here to hurt me." (paraphrasing)
If they have actual proof of this aside from one testimony.... Again. the committee has been cherry picking for televised testimony. |
