SCOTUS Poised to Overturn Roe v Wade per leaked opinion

How many unwanted black kids have you adopted, Qhris?

[Winehole23]

I don't have to be certain to understand the risk/reward.

Where is the line? Why cede any ground in the optics battle for something you admit probably doesn't gain any legislative or judicial ground? It's selfish. It's release over results.

Optics and the modal/median voter are more or less artificial constructs. Seems you presume to know that voter's disposition in advance, as well as what messages will win or lose his vote, what the optics will be for this more or less triangulated, statistical en y, You also presume that political success and failure depends on catering to him/her.

That's quite a few assumptions about political causality and the future. But if that were really the case, how did DJT win in 2016? Certainly not by worrying about optics or pandering to the median.

Chuck Schumer doesn't seem particularly concerned about the optics.

(Probably because he wants Dems to lose and is willing to sacrifice women's rights for a fruitless but personally satisfying display of pique.)

Obama and Biden are tougher than Trump on border enforcement. It's not even a contest.

[Winehole23]

young voters can make a difference, if they can be convinced Dems will fight for them, but they don't fit into median voter theory, so never mind

access to care for miscarriages has already taken a hit in Texas. women will die because of this.

Dr. Lauren Thaxton, an OB-GYN and assistant professor at the Dell Medical School at the University of Texas-Austin, has already heard about local patients who have been miscarrying, and couldn't get a pharmacy to fill their misoprostol prescription.


"The pharmacy has said, 'We don't know whether or not you might be using this medication for the purposes of abortion,'" she said.


Thaxton, who supervises the obstetrics-gynecology residents who have seen these patients, said sometimes the prescribing clinic will intervene, but it takes the patient longer to get the medication. Other times patients don't report the problem and miscarry on their own, she said, but without medication they risk additional bleeding.

we need to worry more -- a lot more! -- about the optics of petulant sidewalk chalk tantrums

[spurraider21]

You're not a woman and there's no way you've had relations with a woman, and I'd feel safe betting that remains the story till you croak, so why are you worried about this?

Why should white people have cared about slavery?

GOP leader: Republicans will 'move day one' to enact federal abortion law after Supreme Court ruling

Alito reached back nearly 1,000 years to weaponize ancient misogyny --

and it's nothing short of grotesque

Alito's use of ancient misogyny to undergird his arguments isn't disgraceful. In fact, it's nothing short of grotesque.

He goes all the way back to the 13th century

to cite Judge Henry de Bracton's "De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae,"

a text about English law and custom that explained that

if a person has "struck a pregnant woman, or has given her poison, whereby he has caused an abortion, if the foetus be already formed and animated … he commits homicide"

to argue that abortion has been considered murder for centuries.

abortion was not wrong in the Catholic Church

"In the early Roman Catholic church,

abortion was permitted for male fetuses in the first 40 days of pregnancy and

for female fetuses in the first 80-90 days.

Not until 1588 did Pope Sixtus V declare all abortion murder, with excommunication as the punishment."

dystopia is already here

[Winehole23]

it never was about states rights

After Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY) suggested that a federal abortion ban was possible, a reporter asked Scalise if he supported stripping women's rights nationwide.


"I hope that the ruling comes out soon and I hope it's the ruling that was leaked," Scalise replied. "But if you think about where we are, we're a party who defends life and we would celebrate a ruling that allows elected leaders to defend life and debate in open public what those laws should be in every state and in Washington."


"Clearly, we will move day one if we get the majority.."

In another thread, CC said 2 million people a month were crossing the border illegally. That's 24 million per year.

Perhaps it was an honest misstatement, but he never acknowledged the goof.
