Breaking... US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

That religious element have been there since the 1600s though. They've never not been there.

So when people say things like "Its no longer the land of the free", "Its no longer a great country" its like Huh?

Yeah, it's the pro-choice crowd who are violent, unhinged fascists.... 🙄

This ruling is anti-woman. Simple as. If men who were the ones who won the genetic lottery and had to worry about getting pregnant, hyperemesis gravidarum, preeclampsia, ectopic pregnancy, Post-natal depression, breast feeding on demand, bringing up a child alone, putting their education / careers on hold etc., you'd be able to buy abortion pills over a drug store counter.

As it is, men will never experience any of physical or emotional side-effects of pregnancy, yet it is mainly men in power (I suspect some of whom who are currently extolling the virtues of forced birth have personal experience of paying for the termination of unplanned pregnancies they contributed to) who are making these decisions.

If women are to bear the brunt of child birth/care, perhaps it might be just as prudent to enact a policy whereby men are ordered to start paying child support from the time of conception. Or even better, let's see how they like having their bodily autonomy invaded by mandating vasectomies until the man in question feels 'ready' for fatherhood?

Sound fair?

You see no irony in your statement given the fact that Roe V. Wade was a decision made by 9 individuals in the first place? Perhaps 9 people shouldn't have been making that decision, which is the root of the problem today. This is what you get when you encourage judicial activism, top down decisions imposed by a very few individuals making up law as the go along to suit themselves, often at odds with the constitution. Even RBG stated that it was a gross over-reach by the supreme court, but as a judge that was all about judicial activism, she was fine with that of course. But what's good for the goose and all that...

The proper place for federal law to be passed is by congress or referendum. A congress that has had 50yrs to codify abortion legislation but didn't because of cowardice and convenience. Roe V. Wade was a ridiculous judgement based on a lie to twist the screws on the court (Roe was never raped) but was a lie and a bad judgement that suited the activists. Now they are baring the brunt of a bad call.

If you'd bothered to read the piece, you'd see the attacks were monitered over the span of the last 50 years - still happening relatively recently, including murder. Kavanaugh wasn't murdered and received round-the-clock protection directly thanks to a bill signed by Joe Biden granting such protections to Supreme Curt justices and their families.

The guy, who was suicidal and suffered with mental issues called the cops himself to confess to wanting to harm Kavanaugh in part, because he was distressed over the Ulvade school massacre and feared Kavanaugh would loosen existing gun laws (which, incidentally, he did). He wasn't part of a 'leftist' mob at all.

Scare mongering is part and parcel of what keeps people like Trump in power, so I understand that mindset that has you believing all left leaning folk are violent fascists, but let's face it, it wasn't the lefties who violently infiltrated the Capitol building and attempted to over throw a Democratic election now, was it?

I find it hard to understand this but I don't really understand the American legislative system, with filibusters and supermajorities and all that. Given how many Democratic presidents and congressional leaders have been strongly pro-choice over the years, I can only conclude there is a serious block in the system to getting such legislation on the books.

Do you not consider people to have gone through a hysterectomy to be women?

The right goes on about what is a woman question but any of their off the cuff definitions don't even match what they think a woman is.

I suspect a large part of why women is used is because any thread I have seen referring to people with regards abortion gets taken off track pretty quickly as people seem to get really offended by referring to women as people for whatever reason.

Riiiiiiight...... 😅

The fact remains that there are people legally recognised as men with the capacity to get pregnant.

Whether you like it or not, they are affected by this too.

This doesnt make sense- no one is forcing irreligious practices on religious people- a religious person can be against homosexuality if they see fit but why should they prevent the state from allowing state marriages between gay people, they are not forcing churchs to marry them. There should be a limited level of rights that everyone in the united states should have or else you could return to the abomination of interracial marriages being illegal, gay rights being revoked based on religious grounds etc. These rights should be in law but again they can be blocked by religious senators. Its a broken system if people in some states have less rights than others, sure you could say that once lead to a civil war there.
