Never too late to abort lindsey graham

gray cobalt
#

So many “enlightened” leftists assured themselves that republicans would never strike down roe v wade due to it being a big pull for voters and donations

#

Now that the republican “dogs” have caught their proverbial car, i wonder how much further right their sights will go

hazy garden
#

no, they just don't care at this point

bitter pine
#

So much for unenumerated rights, right to privacy, so much for the 9th amendment

hazy garden
#

they're gonna go for birth control and contraceptives next

gray cobalt
#

Literally yes. Read the full opinion

#

Clarence thomas says the court should re-consider cases dealing with same sex marriage, contraception

bitter pine
#

And with this, many states have trigger laws that just went into effect

hazy garden
#

im sure there could be some loophole to this though

gray cobalt
#

No.

#

You do not know. Read it

#

There is no room for thought like that. No hand waving “im sure itll be okay..”

#

As of now, half the country cannot get a safe abortion without being labelled a criminal

bitter pine
#

There's no loophole to explicitly denying women's rights

ocean axle
#

it's terrifying and depressing

gray cobalt
#

If there was some way around it, this wouldnt be such a big deal

#

For many this will be their first big political upheaval moment

#

Do not hand wave this. Do not assume it will be fine.

ocean axle
#

this is life saving medical treatment for a lot of people

gray cobalt
#

This is nation changing shit

ocean axle
#

it's a massive fucking deal

bitter pine
#

Nah, this is the kind of shit that justifies violence in response

#

Sorry discord TOS but whatever

#

Not only is it denying basic essential rights but also goes against the will of the majority of the fucking country too, it is wholly illegitimate and they can't be allowed to continue

gray cobalt
#

Impeach and remove kavanaugh and amy coney barrett based on their misleading answers during their confirmation hearings

#

They literally said roe was settled law

#

They lied to get confirmed. 2 of our justices are illegitimate

#

3 of our justices were put in by a president who lost the popular vote and had 1 term

bitter pine
#

Yeah and if the government won't do it the people need to

#

Keeping eyes peeled for resources on organized protests, they gotta start now

gray cobalt
#

Clarence thomas should but wont resign. His wife was in on j6

#

But dems going nuclear to remove half the court would have political backlash

#

Make them look radical, no matter how justified it is

bitter pine
#

I wish they would see that serving their country and its people is more important than what backlash they'll get. The only people who should be afraid should be the fascists

gray cobalt
#

I am genuinely worried this country is eroding. I thought maybe after trump left things would settle but its getting worse

#

What will government be like in 10 years, let alone like 50

bitter pine
#

Worse if we let it

that reminds me of this, https://www.npr.org/2022/06/02/1102491352/abortion-rights-roe-wade-same-sex-marriage-obergefell-leaked-supreme-court with the logic of “that’ll never get overturned” I wonder what they’ll try to do next

NPR.org
Abortion rights might soon be gone. Activists worry same-sex marria...

Jim Obergefell was the named plaintiff in the Supreme Court case that legalized same-sex marriage in 2015. He says if Roe v. Wade is overturned, it means trouble for other social causes.

#

if that makes sence

bitter pine
#

Thomas's opinion basically calls for same sex marriage and contraception protection to be overturned as well

#

It is very serious, very real threat and don't let anyone call you alarmist

#

And yeah not explicitly stated but we should assume, any other women's basic rights like being able to make their own financial decisions or have a job

#

And whatever the fuck else they can think of for power

hollow citrus
#

If they take away rights to birth control and same sex marriage I'm moving the fuck out of America I swear to God

tall hearth
#

I'm sure the people who supported this decision woukd love that

bitter pine
#

If anyone should be leaving it's them

tall hearth
#

I agree

#

I saw an article pop up right after I woke up and my stomach sank

woeful bolt
#

America going backwards

paper ember
#

America back at it again

bitter pine
#

States with trigger laws that have gone into effect with this ruling: Arkansas, Idaho, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, Wyoming

States with pre-Roe abortion bans that are now back in effect and enforceable with the ruling: Alabama, Arizona, Michigan, North Carolina, West Virginia, Wisconsin

If you live in one of these, take action and find local protests, call and write to representatives, whatever you can. Fellow Michigan folks I am keeping a lookout on what we can do

i felt physically sick when i heard it

#

Woke up today to this

#

America 🤮

tall hearth
#

Michigan dissapointing me once again

latent pier
#

explain what this mean to me (a brit)

tall hearth
#

What does what mean

#

Roe v Wade made abortion a right in the United States

#

Now that the ruling has been overturned, each state can choose to keep abortion rights or ban them and punish the women who seek them out

#

And about half the states in the union had previous abortion bans from before Roe v Wade that were put back into effect and others wrote bills that would make abortions illegal the second Roe v Wade was overturned

#

I believe that's what's up at least. I'm kind of stupid so I may have gotten some wrong

woeful bolt
#

well it's bad because that could force women who were raped to get a child or if they can't financially support one

ocean axle
#

or pregnancies which could literally cause the person's death if they carried to term

#

like ectopic prenancies

tall hearth
#

Some people are also not ready to have kids

#

Or do not want them

woeful bolt
#

yea so pro life my ass

pro birth

they dont give a shit if you live or die

i still dk a lot about the topic but yea it's messed up

who would win? a very large chunk of people who support abortion or old white men

it’s literally just simply pro-woman

#

America fucking sucks

#

also the huge baby formula and tampon and diaper shortage

#

wtf

jolly tartan
#

We need amendments to cover unenumerated rights

#

And it is more important now than ever that we have lifetime appointments in the SCOTUS

#

who were put there by a fascist

#

We also need to realistically look at the option of court packing

gray cobalt
#

How do you supposed we do it? Whats the most realistic road ahead for expanding the supreme court

#

I feel even if dems were able to ram something thru senate to expand the court, they wouldnt be able to get the votes to appoint their justices

bitter pine
#

I think it would need to start with getting rid of the senate filibuster

#

Because I think it would take legislation expanding the number of justices on the court? Not sure

#

Also, the idea of lifetime appointments seems like a problem

#

Especially if they can lie in their confirmation hearings

blissful dragon
#

This is a very sad day for our country

what makes it worse is that national enquirer was like "depp v heard is trial of the century!!!!" no there's much more important shit going down in american law rn

#

the worst part of this imo isn't even the abortion, the worst part is that it shows that they can overturn everything else that's been done

bitter pine

This thread is about a US supreme court decision, I genuinely don't know what else you're talking about when you say the whole planet

do you think the satanic temple will sue similar to the one synagogue?

untold relic
#

why didn't he mention it and what makes it scummy

proper mauve
#

I have a question

#

Other than money is there any thing preventing someone in a state where abortion is restricted visiting another state to get an abortion?

ocean axle
#

other than social pressures maybe not, but framing it as a "just money" type thing I think minimises quite how much of an issue it is

brazen drum
#

assuming the person has the means to do so there currently isn't, but missouri and texas have both attempted to ban out of state abortions before and with roe being dead they could again

primal rapids
#

banning out of state abortions for those who can’t afford to get around it of course

#

the mistresses of state politicians will have nothing to worry about

carmine island
#

You could argue it's a money thing as rich people will be able to fuck off and get an abortion abroad whereas the average individual cannot, but it is not a money thing, it is about religion and misogyny

#

Clarence Thomas is in an interracial marriage

#

the republican candidate openly has said his first order will be outlawing abortion, and has acknowledged that includes cases of rape or incest.

and josh shapiro, the democratic candidate, is qualified af. current attorney general of pa, and also personally challenged trump when he tried to say the election in pa was stolen

I don’t know what this is I don’t really read the news often

Which means right wing states can ban abortions with zero consequence

Coleman this spring offered a preview into the possible next frontier of the anti-abortion movement, when she proposed allowing lawsuits against anyone helping Missouri women obtain abortions even if the procedure took place out of state. Her measure didn’t advance in the legislature.

You know you’ve fucked up when another fascist thinks you’re going backwards

fallow wigeon
#

I don't get how the fuck the right to contraception can be overturned

tall hearth
#

Just a SC case, which can be overturned

#

It's what happened with Roe v Wade and is what's going to happen eith the decisions about same sex marriage and the like

bitter pine
#

That landmark decision is that it’s unconstitutional to prohibit women from getting birth control without a prescription or spouses approval

sand swallow
#

This shit is literally why I don’t respect people’s political opinions if they voted for Trump

Because they clearly don’t care about the rights of others so they don’t deserve it

Amazing that an 18yo pop singer has a better morality than the president

sand swallow
#

Biden was also against gay marriage like a decade ago, I’m thinking he does what’s popular a lot

#

Not to say Olivia still doesn’t have better morality though

jolly tartan
#

Biden is Catholic and was largely elected by Catholics who are a driving force in Christianity as a state religion.

#

Not defending his voting record but things have changed a lot in 40 years in terms of how Christians politicians are able to wavier from lock step issues like gay marriage and abortion
