Breaking... US Supreme Court overturns Roe v Wade

You're literally everything you claim to hate. This is why I suppose it's hard to define the modern ideology that you follow, because your obsession with race is up there with white nationalists, and Neo Nazis.

Your position isn't even consistent either. On one hand you're blaming Christianity, on the other hand white men. They are either motivated by race or religion, you can't have it both ways. If they are motivated by race, then it's very odd to see a black man along side them, very odd indeed.

That, and the fact that RBG, someone who was literally a figure of worship for many of them, didn't agree with the initial ruling. She thought that it was legally weak, and she certainly wasn't a hardcore Christian or a "white man".

What are you talking about? Can old white men not also be Christian suddenly? How is this possibly confusing for you?

You literally quoted me where I said 'mostly full of old white men' so I am clearly aware that they aren't all white men so what is your point with your last line?

The vast majority of GOP presidents who selected the judges in this situation, the senators who confirmed them, and the Supreme Court Judges themselves are old, white, Christian, and rich (I forgot rich in my earlier post).

I don't follow an ideology, I treat each situation as it comes - what I see is wrong I say it. I don't fit in a nice box for you, as I'd be right of centre in Irish terms

You clearly do not understand how the US system works. Biden had zero power to do anything to stop this happening (whether he would if he could is a different discussion)

It is being brought up in the house of commons now so many will try and bring this stuff across the water. That is England for the moment but I am sure some will try and make it an issue here again. We do have stronger protections in that we went about it with a legally binding referendum but these rulings will have an effect on Ireland.

Well, actually they did. They may not have realised it at the time, but when the public voted for Trump, they were voting for someone who would use every opportunity to change the Supreme Court so that it would have an impact in the longer-term. It had happened in the past with other Presidents. The liberal turkeys who voted for Trump got their heads chopped off in a later Christmas.

Equally, when people voted for Fine Gael over the last decade, they knew or should have know they were voting for a party which would bring referenda on same-sex marriage and divorce, in line with what they did in the 1980s to reform Ireland. That is the same thing, but in a positive way rathe than the negative Trump way.

Ah come on now - you're admitting that you were highlighting 'the constant' between the two situations yet claiming this doesn't mean they were 'similar'....

How many of the people who supported vaccine mandates were calling for imprisonment of those who didn't follow them? I fully agree that this tiny population are being hypocritical if they now complain about imprisonment for abortion.

Are you accepting that anyone who complained and resisted vaccine mandates are also hypocrites if are now fine (or celebrating) a change that will mean women being imprisoned due to choice of what they do with their bodies?

You're at best being incredibly naive here. There was dozens of States with old laws or trigger laws that meant that their decision to overturn settled law meant that abortion was banned.

For the rest they are sending the decision to the states where they have ruled that they are okay with incredible levels of gerrymandering which means bans can be imposed against the will of a majority in the state.

That isn't getting into the likely push for a federal ban that has already picked up momentum (along with ending of same sex marriage, gay relationships, contraception etc)

Yeah, only one **** womb in the whole state that might have been raped or need an emergency procedure right?

In 2020 there were 3,154 abortions performed in Arkansas.

I really cannot understand why anyone would make such a huge dick of a statement.

I have no idea what you are on about: last I checked, Poland was not within the jurisdiction of the US Supreme Court. Arkansas is. As are 49 other states and other territories I have a passport for, but no not Poland.

The efforts to deflect are mesmerizing. Did you want to start a thread about Polish abortion rights or was that just a complete whinge?
