USSC strikes down Roe v Wade

We could earn a lot of money from those pregnant Ohio and indignant ladies.
I somehow agree with Bazookajoe and others who say we are Canadians, so why care.
USA is a strange place, and we need to keep cool and not be dragged into their twisted and uncivilized fights about guns, abortion etc.
We should look to Europe for guidance.

He is the convenient excuse with Sinema. They have had 50 years to deal with this. Incuding a filibuster proof Senate at one point. They never did.Sorry man, d'em the facts.
Manchin says he won’t vote to ‘eliminate or weaken the filibuster’
Sen. Joe Manchin (D-W.Va.) vowed on Thursday that he will not “vote to eliminate or weaken the filibuster,” the latest blow to Democratic hopes of changing the Senate rules to pass voting rights le…thehill.com
Now has he changed his mind after he himself admits he's been duped by the Judges who lied and bullshitted their way through to get on the highest court of the land? We shall see.
Canadians don't need to "look for guidance" anywhere. We are our own nation doing just fine thank you.
For how long.
There are cells in Canada that want The Charter of Rights and Freedoms voided, this decision will supercharge them. From perspective gained from studying The French Revolution, we are closer to The Handmaid's Tale becoming a reality. The USSC won't stop until 1884 is achieved. The laws made in the Victorian Era held until the mid 60's.
The blowback is only just beginning, this is a "Cars hissed by my window" moment.
We are not the USA. We have a strong federal system and the Charter.
Negative. Our governments - conservative and Liberal - follow USA in everything.
Once you start degrading human rights it's a slippery slope to National Socialism. Jim Morrison certainly understood this:
So true.......and I would go another step further and say most Americans on either side don't really deep down care about the Court's decision on Roe vs. Wade. It's a political rallying issue for both sides. The more partisan my friends, the more likely they are screaming and hollering or doing a victory jig.

Of course not. That’s precisely my point - In light of the US Supreme Court’s ruling on abortion, the SCC will never stand for the rule of law to devolve to such decrepit depths in Canada. Therefore, I feel it would be top of mind when eventually ruling on the constitutionality of C -36. E.g. ( an unjust law imposed by the far right).
We need to remind ourselves that no ban on abortion will stop abortion. It will only ban safe abortion.
Not in Canada, buddy.
I know that you whip out this standard GOP bullshit talking point whenever the topic comes up and steer the conversation into "Only the crazies want state-funded abortion with absolutely no legal controls" because that usually saves the GOP's ass in American dialogues. But this is Canada where we're doing just fucking fine with no criminal sanctions for abortion whatsoever.
And hey! - New Zealand just joined us.
And you may see abortion as just a tribal rallying slogan, but I am damn sure most women right now are thinking about it as a very practical problem which the GOP and religious fanaticism is about to potentially cause in their lives. So take your white male arrogance and swallow it.
To steal a line from Bill Maher last night, "I wonder if Thomas will want to revisit the law on inter-racial marriage?"

Are you American, Canada never had slavery. Most history books don't mention that the last stop on The Underground Railroad (freedom from capture) was Chatham Ontario.
I'm indifferent to abortion but fanatical about human rights. It's sad to think that the last President who defended human rights was Jimmy Carter...and look what the CIA and Big Oil did to him.
In watching all of this unfold, I can't help but wonder if all this is the lead up to the next American civil war.
In 1860, the issue was slavery. Pretty clear cut. Either you believed in slavery or you did not believe in slavery. Conveniently, there was a nice easy geographical line that separated those in favour of slavery (in the south) and those who did not believe in slavery (the north). Now it's not so simple from a geographical point of view. However, America is truly polarizing along political lines. When I see this regressive Supreme Court of the United States taking America back essentially more than 50 years and I see Clarence Thomas (there's a guy who has to go, from what I've read, he's totally unfit for the job) talking about rescinding gay marriage and even birth control and you wonder if this could even be happening, you can't help but wonder what the fuck is going on in the United States. Was it always there? Just simmering under the surface?
In the last couple of days, the issue of a civil war has been discussed quite a lot in the media. The idea that there is actually "two United States". When I first read about the notion that America was heading for another civil war I thought it was the dumbest thing I'd ever read in my life. Now I'm not so sure. Texas talking about seceding, Florida's current whackadoodle Governor. Everyone is a racist, Roe v. Wade. Fuck me, it actually might happen. I really wish the Americans would take a step back and just calm the fuck down.
And don't just think that the stupid is the sole property of those on the right. The left has more than its fair share of the stupid. Stupid is an equal opportunity thing.
