It's called scare tactics.
I hear about this all the time and it's really pathetic and annoying. I am not an expert on the Cons ution or how laws get passed and/or overturned. I just want someone to explain to me how abortion is going to get banned nationwide if Romney is elected next month. I want to know because apparently Obama koolaid drinkers and liberals honestly believe that abortion will be banned nationwide if Romney is elected.
I want someone to explain to me the process of how that would work. Does Congress vote on it or does the Supreme Court just flat out say "that is overturned"? And if Congress votes on it, wouldn't the GOP have to have a majority for Willard to sign it into law? Personally, I don't think Roe V. Wade will be overturned any time soon. I just want to know the process of how it could be overturned. I think abortion is going to still be legal for a long long time because it's basically a non issue. It's an issue that the GOP and Democratic Party use as a distraction so people will talk about it and not focus on the more important things which are jobs and the economy. The same could be said for gay marriage. Let's be honest most politicians don't give a about either abortion or gay marriage because those trivial issues won't decide elections.
It's called scare tactics.
The rationale behind that is that the executive selects the SCOTUS members should any of them retire/passes away/etc... The high court already has somewhat of a conservative leaning, but if you were to replace one of the more liberal leaning justices with another conservative, it would allegedly turn into a decidedly conservative court, which means another challenge to Roe vs Wade might not survive scrutiny from *that* potential SCOTUS.
Now, obviously, it's all an exercise in futurology, and there's no guarantee any of that would happen. I'm just explaining you what I understand as the rationale behind that claim.
It won't be overturned. Williard's camp is the one that brings it up. Its not the other way around. The religious right makes this an issue. You think women's groups make it an issue considering they already have freedom of choice? Which side is always passing legislation regarding abortion? Its the GOP. Forced sonograms etc etc.
Isn't it the fault of the Democrats for the SOCTUS leaning conservative since there have only been 2 presidents from the Democratic Party in the last 30 years? Democrats need to stop ing losing all the damn time.
It's also wishful thinking from the neocon Jeebo GOP....
So why do koolaid drinking liberals and neocons fall for the scare tactics? I mean hasn't the talk of overturning Roe v. Wade been around every since it was created? And nothing has been done to ban abortions nationwide. I don't want to hear about states making women do stupid crazy just so they can kill their unwanted unborn baby. So you have to do something that you don't want to do in order to get your way, who the cares? You still are going to kill your unborn baby at the end of the day. Be happy about that and shut the up.
I mean, in the last 20 years, Dems have been in power in the exec. branch for 12, which is more than half. Soon to be 16/24.
Justices will probably retire or die soon, so we'll see the court swing left for sure in that case. Scalia, of course, will hang on to his seat 'til the bitter end, but he's pretty old and as I have heard he's in poor health.
AFAIK, Democrats don't really have an issue with Roe vs Wade.
Democrats aren't falling for scare tactics since they're not the ones running on the issue. I don't think you understand that.
There are a few things that get or lose votes consistently: raising taxes, abortion issues, en lements, welfare, jobs. There are people who only hear those things just as a dog only hears his name. When those things are said, people get riled. Tell an elderly person the candidate will cut their social security or medicare and see what happens. Politicians know this and it's the "easy button" they just cannot avoid pressing even though their campaign up to that point has been about change and honesty and transparency and all that other bull .
An abortion case goes to SCOTUS. SCOTUS accepts the case and votes 5-4 to overturn R v W as violating the Cons ution. Exec and legislative out of the loop.
Pretty much how Citizens United happened.
"corporations are people, my friend".
Money is Corporate-American 1st-amendment-protected speech. And Kennedy said there is no chance for corruption because of the transparency, and Corporate-Americans can be trusted.
Why do you want to kill babies? Why do you hate God?
You're asking the guy whose people put god up on that cross why he hates Him?
Oh yeah, nm.
Nope there is fear mongering on the other side too, all these women vote Obama because "I don't want to lose my rights as a woman
Yeah, that was a real facebook status. Democrats really think if Romney gets in that abortion will be outlawed..it most certainly goes both ways.
^Keep telling yourself that.
When Republicans run on the platform of overturning Roe v. Wade, Democrats don't exactly need to do any fear mongering. Republicans do it themselves.
So are you now completely out of the closet as a die hard Mitt Romney fan?
I will tbh.
A lot of conservatives think it will be overturned if Willard is elected too. It wouldn't be such a reliable every-4-years wedge issue if not.
There's more to women's rights than just abortion.Nope there is fear mongering on the other side too, all these women vote Obama because "I don't want to lose my rights as a woman
Yeah, that was a real facebook status. Democrats really think if Romney gets in that abortion will be outlawed..it most certainly goes both ways.
I just laugh at people think that abortion will banned and gay people will die if Willard is elected. It's hilarious to me that people are that stupid to buy the bull that the talking heads are selling. Dummy evil Bush was president for 8 years and abortion was still legal in America while he was president.
Whottts funny is Bush got reelected specifically because bible beaters in this country were under the impression he would make abortion illegal.
^ Not to mention that the last time Congress tried to pass a cons utional amendment banning same-sex marriage was indeed during Bush's second term (2006)
Didn't happen though. States should be allowed to have their marriage laws. If you don't like that, move to a state where the marriage laws make you happy.
