Ground work for eliminating gay marriage. Anything that whiffs of helping trans people. Birth control will be a reasonable target now. Controlling a woman’s vagina isn’t going to solve anything.

This is a stupid move by conservatives. America is at its peak when we have fiscal conservatives and liberal societal policies. The labor is already at war with the rich. The rich get richer on the backs of other peoples labors. This is particularly valuable when you empower woman into higher positions of labor because the rich can benefit from both sexes. This is literally going to pull woman out of the workforce and into activism. It’s a costly pander to an already marginal base.

All while not really saving actual lives.

No. I don’t really take much issue with limiting abortion. But it’s clear that saving lives and doing what’s right isn’t what’s going on here. Heartbeat laws aren’t accurate at all. It’s bullshit. We’re seeing no exceptions for rape, incest and little for life saving measures. When we see absolutist stances it’s a clear indication that they’re looking to pander to something.

This isn’t about abortion. It’s a stepping stone to larger control. It won’t backfire tomorrow. It’ll backfire through a generation. Conservatives have fallen off a cliff and it’s unfortunate. We greatly benefit from fiscal conservatives in control. If they’d simply get out of peoples lives and reproduction we’d be better off. These people can’t have everything. After all being a diverse society is what this country is all about. That requires compromise and having a firm grasp on our economy is way more valuable than avoiding an aborted child who’ll end up being neglected to the point that we’re farming potential welfare cases or criminals.

That’s a hard reality that some conservatives just can’t reconcile.

This isn’t about saving a life.

I don't know why "one minute before birth" is part of the discussion at all except that you brought it up to avoid talking about fetuses In the context of an abortion discussion.

1 minute before birth, assuming its health checks out and the mother is safe, you have a viable living baby that can survive outside the womb.

The issue is that "what America really is" is different for different people/groups.

I bet you can't articulate a single reason why this is the correct legal result.

Been reading the draft, just a terrible take all around.

It held that the abortion right, which is not mentioned in the Constitution, is part of a right to privacy, which is also not mentioned. See 410 U.S, at 152-153. And that privacy right, Roe observed, had been found to spring from no fewer than five different constitutional provisions—the First, Fourth, Fifth, Ninth, and Fourteenth Amendments.

The right to privacy is not mentioned? What is this?

The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Then he makes the whole argument about the Fourteenth Amendment only applying to liberties "deeply rooted in [our] history and tradition” and whether it is essential to our Nation's “schemeof ordered Liberty.”

However, to claim Roe doesn't fall in that category, the claim is:

Right until shortly before Roe, but abortion had long been a crime in every single State. At common law, abortion was criminal in at least some stages of pregnancy and was regarded as unlawful and could have very serious consequences at all stages. American law followed the common law until a wave of statutory restrictions in the 1800s expanded criminal liability for abortions. By the time of the adoption of the Fourteenth Amendment, three-quarters of the States had made abortion a crime at any stage of pregnancy, and the remaining States would soon follow. Roe either ignored or misstated this history, and Casey declined to reconsider Roe faulty historical analysis. It is therefore important to set the record straight.

This is a tacit admission that abortion was deeply rooted in our history and tradition. You wouldn't criminalize something if it didn't happen or exist. He just simply moved the goalposts from "deeply rooted in [our] history and tradition” to "was illegal".

Then come the rest of the typical conservative mental gymnastics, with gems like:

That the common law did not condone even pre-quickening abortions is confirmed by what one might call a proto-felony-murder rule. Hale and Blackstone explained a way in which a pre-quickening abortion could rise to the level of a homicide. Hale wrote that if a physician gave a woman “with child” a “potion” to cause an abortion, and the woman died, it was “murder” because the potion was given “unlawfully to destroy her child within her.”


The irony of this opinion saying "Roe was egregiously wrong from the start" :lmao:lmao:lmao

What Actually Happens When a Country Bans Abortion
Romania under Ceausescu created a dystopian horror of overcrowded, filthy orphanages, and thousands died from back-alley abortions.

https://foreignpolicy.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/05/gettyimages-3403577.jpg?resize=1000,661&quality=90

As lawmakers in Alabama this week passed a bill that would outlaw abortion in the U.S. state entirely, protesters outside the statehouse wore blood-red robes, a nod to Margaret Atwood’s dystopian novel The Handmaid’s Tale, in which childbearing is entirely controlled by the state. Hours later, the book was trending on Twitter.

But opponents of the restrictive abortion laws currently being considered in the United States don’t need to look to fiction for admonitory examples of where these types of laws can lead. For decades, communist Romania was a real-life test case of what can happen when a country outlaws abortion entirely, and the results were devastating.

In 1966, the leader of Romania, Nicolae Ceausescu, outlawed access to abortion and contraception in a bid to boost the country’s population. In the short term, it worked, and the year after it was enacted the average number of children born to Romanian women jumped from 1.9 to 3.7. But birthrates quickly fell again as women found ways around the ban. Wealthy, urban women were sometimes able to bribe doctors to perform abortions, or they had contraceptive IUDs smuggled in from Germany.

Yet Romania’s prohibition of the procedure was disproportionately felt by low-income women and disadvantaged groups, which abortion-rights advocates in the United States fear would happen if the Alabama law came into force. As a last resort, many Romanian women turned to home and back-alley abortions, and by 1989, an estimated 10,000 women had died as a result of unsafe procedures. The real number of deaths might have been much higher, as women who sought abortions and those who helped them faced years of imprisonment if caught. Maternal mortality skyrocketed, doubling between 1965 and 1989.

So this is a ploy to try and save Democrats in the midterms. Luckily for the GOP, things have been so awful under Biden that it wont work. It does effect the election, though. Instead of winning 70 house seats they will win 45, IMO.

If the leak is true and my understanding is correct, this means that abortion rights go back to the states. So no more liberals fleeing NY and California and bringing their poor choice voting habits to Texas and Florida. Sounds like a win for Red states.

I've been saying for the past 2 years that the country is more divided than ever and that you will see red states getting redder and blue states getting bluer. Looks as though I was correct on that front.

Lol at overturning a 50 year old precedent on the basis of stare decisis. But putting that off to the side, this has the potential to have some really negative economic impacts on Texas. This states growth is fueled by energy and tech, the latter of which is a notoriously liberal industry. I can’t imagine companies in Austin (or even Dallas) will be thinking that they can attract talent to a state that has gone full Christian jihad. Talent is one of the keys to corporate growth, but particularly in the tech space. Yes Texas is business friendly and has a cheap cost of living - that’s why so many corporations leveraged those things to attract talent.

In an era where the SEC is requiring ESG disclosures in corporate filings of public companies, Texas going full Saudi Arabia because it’s been empowered by SCOTUS will really do a lot of work to drive away the economic progress of the past 5-10 years. The irony of all this is that it will come on the call of a rural minority who holds more state legislature seats in shitholes like Lubbock. But hey, Jesus hates dead babies, which matters to some inbred mongoloid living in a trailer in Abilene.

As for the new question you’re asking, it’s the same principle as to why states shouldn’t be allowed to segregate races or ban interracial marriages. There are fundamental rights at stake that some states will infringe upon.

Yeah could only run implicitly on segregation by then. No more ######, ######, ######.

Abortion was legal in 1787

Not a fan of that interpretation because I think the 14th Amendment cabins the scope of the 9th Amendment, at least when the rubber hits the road on divisive issues like abortion.

Very good. One of those amendments was the 14th, which abrogated the states' ability to restrict or infringe upon rights that weren't enumerated in the original constitution or bill or rights. In light of that amendment, why does the constitution's failure to mention "abortion" have any legal relevance whatsoever?

It is congresses responsibility to make laws, not the courts. Democrats control the house, the senate, and the Presidency. If they wanted to legalize abortion they could do it next week.

This is irrelevant. You supported the Court's decision by saying abortion isn't in the constitution. From a constitutional law perspective, I explained why that's not a correct view.

Congress can pass laws regulating searches and seizures, or giving the accused in criminal cases a right to counsel, or banning the death penalty. Passage of those laws says nothing about whether those rights exist under the Constitution. Same goes for abortion

Also, can they? Wouldn't you conservatives say that, under principles of federalism, abortion should be regulated by the states and not the federal government? It was the refrain on the covid response early in the pandemic, why would this be any different? What's the hook for federal jurisdiction? The commerce clause?

This is such a disingenuous take because as soon as the USFG passes the "protect abortion bill," conservatives will have a conniption fit about federal overreach/"big government," -- yet, they're absolutely silent now about an activist court overturning a 50 year precedent.

Fuck no, this would be awful. If Roe v Wade is overturned the midterm will go from R+9 to like neutral or even D+1 or D+2. Forget about 54 seats in the senate, you'd be lucky to end up with 51 seats, and winning the House by a narrow margin instead of the anticipated 2010 style red wave margin.

You're essentially handing Biden a second trifecta. :pctoss

68% of American registered voters are NOT in support of Roe V. Wade being overturned, and that includes libertarian-right people such as myself, such as Rand Paul, etc. This is sickening and would absolutely be devastating to the GOP long-term, on much more important issues than this. Kavanaugh and Gorsuch need to vote against repealing RvW if Roberts and ACB aren't.

It's not issue number 1 for a libertarian like me, but it's definitely top 5. Reversing inflation, at least back to 2019, is still king until it's fixed. Stopping immigration, energy independence, banning covid mandates, the right to bear arms, and yep... probably abortion. Medical freedom... whether bearing arms, abortion, vaccine choice, choice of who to love, who to fornicate with, etc., are all America First - compatible human rights.


Don't fret, you still have voter suppression.

Forced child support should not exist in a world with abortion. Agreed. That's not going to gain any momentum on either side of the political spectrum.

Forced child support should never exist. Men should always have the choice to sacrifice any and all contact with the child until they're 18 and out of high school under penalty of civil and potential criminal punishment if they break that agreement.... in exchange for not having to pay child support.
