Yes. You stack the Court with 5 religious, anti choice wackos and you get that. And then we'll see how it all plays out when doctors abort fetuses anyway when the pregnancy is non viable and the woman's life is in danger. And other stuff like that. Strap in for a wild ride. It ain't over.
Or if you stack the court with 5 unaccountable, elitist, social engineers you get the opposite result. Your point?
Your implicit support for the commitment of people not to accept the decision of this court is curious, given how much you railed against Trump's determination to seek a different outcome from the courts to his election litigation. More liberal hypocrisy? Conservatives should respect the legal process, but for liberals It's never over until you get your way, because you're righteous?
I actually think your predictions are grossly overstated. The vast majority of states will continue to permit abortions, at least in defined circumstances (which will inevitably include where the mother's life is endangered by the pregnancy). Only a few states will criminalize abortion. None will criminalize citizens who leave the state to have them. The only people who will choose to risk jail over this will be political operatives. It's pretty easy for social agencies to drive people without means to nearby states to get the procedure.
If this bench overturns 50 year old law in Roe, a court in 10 years can bring it back again. That's no way to run a justice system, but it's going to be America for as long as benches are stacked with judges with strongly-held non mainstream opinions on highly controversial issues.
BTW, name the only 3 other countries in the world who totally ban abortions the way the Red states are currently banning them.
There is no better way to measure what "mainstream opinion" is than looking to who the public elected. They elected Trump, and knew that he would appoint conservative justices to the court. That's democracy.
I don't want to make this into a research project for myself, but is it really true that the fundamentalist Islamic states permit abortions? I've never made a study of it, but it would seem to run counter to what Islam teaches.
