Which means you agree with me. It will NEVER pass the 60 seat threshold. Ever. So unless the Dems promise to absolutely eliminate the filibuster electing them is useless.
USSC strikes down Roe v Wade
- Thread starter Darts
- Start date
It's a hope, but right now I am not very hopeful about it.
I think people will vote for false promises of reduced gas prices and true promises of increased culture war.
Lots of people will know.
Do you think people never talk about such things?
Besides, all you need to investigate is the suspicion, right?
The fact of no real permanent State residency is why you have to have the law, right?
Otherwise people can just pretend to be from a different state to avoid the law.
Can't have that.
So make a law that anyone who helps you leave a state to get an abortion is also guilty of a crime.
Now people have an incentive to turn you in because they don't want to be charged.
You think that taxi driver who took you to a clinic will go to jail for you?
Or the one who took you to the airport?
Also, who gave you the money? They can get arrested to.
Is such a law fucking insane?
Of course it is, but that's the point.
If everyone is terrified it keeps people in line.
Then, when people protest these laws, the Court can say the only way to stop the confusion is for there to be one law nationwide banning abortion.
You act like this is some kind of rational balancing act of rights and freedoms and not a push to ban abortion nationwide.
Yes, exactly.
The whole country swung very far to the right, Democrats included.
That's what I said.
The courts have been aggressively reactionary for most of the existence of the United States.
The brief bit where they were less so and more centrist was viewed by the Right Wing as "a horrible swing to the left consisting of activist judges".
That's why the right wing spent so much effort to take over the justice system and put in judges who are happy to make up bullshit reasoning and not decide cases on the merits.
No, we don't agree but your reasoning is gobsmackingly stupid.
Electing Democrats is necessary but not sufficient.
Not really.
Most of the decisions by this group have been like that.
If anything, it has gotten worse as they have had a more and more solid majority, but "fuck you, that's why" has been their position for a while now.
Why do you always try to make me your straw man?
If you were paying attention, you would know I got no problem with baby-killers. It's those damn extremist commies I gotta problem with.

Not the point.
The point is that as long as you can make a boogieman that "the left is violent and oppressing you" then all your violence is justified.
There are a lot of protests that are going to happen.
There will be violence in those because the right is going to make SURE there is violence.
The justification will be that "we all know the left is violent".
They didn't pass those laws about running down protesters for nothing, you know.
And the Proud Boys are already going to be on their Telegrams saying they have to go down and hit someone to "prove the left is violent" and therefore have reasons for crackdowns.
The cops will shoot some people in the next few days while they are protesting - probably with "non-lethal" rounds but close enough to do damage.
They will kettle and beat and tear gas people protesting the ruling.
This will be cited as proof "the left" is violent, so that right wing types can attack some people without feeling bad about it.
I think you are painting a picture of some of the Fifty State's imposing some type of authoritarian, paranoid-driven regime on its people. I use the term "on its people" loosely because Americans are not betrothed to states and one state's laws don't follow them across the United States as they travel. While some conservative state legislatures might pass some extreme abortion laws for political points, the effect of any abortion travel law of this type will be negligible if not implausible.
You are simply engaging in rhetoric wars using extreme anti-abortionists as the straw man.
Not to nitpick your post, but how exactly does a taxi driver take someone to an out-of-state clinic? Sarcastically, is there going to be an Uber Aborts?
You are just speculating that's what will happen.
If access is so bad next time you are seeing your family doctor(if you have 1, lots don't) ask him/her why.
I bet dollars to donuts it is strictly due the cost of setting up a clinic and the security of themselves and employees and clients.
It's not up to the Federal or Provincial governments to set up these clinics.
So bust your family doctor over lack of access.
As a strong supporter of abortion rights, I'd say that if left wasn't so horrible with their woke policies, Trump never would have gotten in. But they are and that is one major reason why you have now lost abortion. And you are going to lose other beloved things as well like ObamaCare.
So how can the left get back in power(because they are going to get creamed in the mid-terms). Reject the disgusting woke mind virus frauds and return the the reasonably respectable kind of people you used to be, just a bit left of center. Instead, you moved over toward the malevolent socialists bent on societal destruction and embraced complete idiocy like defund the police, BLM policies, going soft on criminals, structural racism lies while implementing structural racism policies, trying to direct kindergarten kids into homosexuality/gender change, mass illegal immigration welcoming, foolish man-made global warming policies, etc. If you want to embrace the pink haired freaks and 16 year old scolding girls for policy, get ready for more conservative judges.
Something to think about for the average soccer mom.
Why wouldn't MO or MI establish some sort of "pregnancy register" and check up on women from time to time? Make them register w a certain clinic and report there once a week? And make them file paperwork to "prove" that they lost that child naturally?
Lady doesn't have to stay resident of that state, but what if she's got a 10-year career path at a business or institution there? That's going to force her to carry the child to term - which is all the law precisely intends to do.
It's 1984-ish, but so is striking down Roe and so is Thomas boasting that gays are next on the list. This isn't your dad's United States.
I'd love to read your sources. Fell free to DM them to me.
But my gut is that certain groups - i.e. devout Catholics - ALWAYS hated it, hence the rush of hate violence outside clinics in the late Twentieth Century.
Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court went too far in taking the 'dramatic step' of overturning Roe v. Wade
Roberts wrote that a decision that limited abortion rights without overturning Roe v. Wade would have been "markedly less unsettling."
John Roberts says the 5 justices went too far in overturning Roe. If Ruth Bader Ginsburg had stepped aside when she knew she had incurable cancer and replaced by Obama, we wouldnt have this calamity. Women are paying the price for the selfishness and greed of one individual.

Czar, you know that Trump lost the popular vote in both elections, huh?
In fact, the Dems did reasonably well in the actual vote numbers.
What a load of BS. Blaming Ruth Ginsberg instead of the 3 Trump Judge who all lied through their teeth when asked about abortion law.Chief Justice John Roberts says Supreme Court went too far in taking the 'dramatic step' of overturning Roe v. Wade

Women will be guilty until proven innocent if they have miscarriages. "Not exercising enough care while pregnant" is good for 10 to 20 years.
