Abortion Discussion, Part the Fourth

Any examples?

Your posts remind me of an interview I saw with 2 flat earthers. One of them had a very similar technique to you. He wouldn't say "the earth is flat because X" or "you're wrong because Y", he would just attempt to appear genuine while obfuscating the entire discussion by repeatedly asking for proof or further explanations of absolute basics.

Why do you need examples of #45's repulsive behaviour? Have you really never seen any before? Or are you derailing the conversation,?

I'll try to find the video and post a link

It appears quite clear that there is an anti-abortion campaign raging in the US over the past number of months which has certainly been exacerbated by some of Trumps decisions.
Perhaps he wasn't aware of the ramifications, though I doubt it but it may have significant consequences in the domain of abortion rights.
The decision to appoint Kavanaugh was a major piece of the puzzle.

As an example the latest in Alabama is at the state level, having any abortion at any point can carry a maximum sentence of up to 99 years.
This follows on from similar rulings in Georgia where the "heartbeat bill" was signed into law outlawing abortions after the 6 week mark, a point where many women may be pregnant unbeknownst to them. Additionally they may even be prosecuted if they go to another state.

This is complicated by two issues, clearly the states which have passed these laws are republican conservative states which is buttressed by a US supreme court currently adjudicated by a republican majority.

A recent somewhat flippant decision to disregard stare decisis in an unrelated case opens up the possibility that the supreme court is willing to overturn cases, possibly even Wade vs Roe.
Justice Stephen Breyer wrote that the decision “even though it is a well-reasoned decision that has caused no serious practical problems in the four decades since we decided it. Today’s decision can only cause one to wonder which cases the Court will overrule next.”

Apparently main commentators feel it's a decision that was taken with Wade vs Roe in mind.
Its somewhat ironic that in light of this decision that Kavanaugh went back on his previously held believe regarding stare decisis

"Senator Susan Collins, after his contentious confirmation hearings last year. Collins, the Maine Republican who is usually described as a supporter of abortion rights, announced that she would vote for Kavanaugh because of his expressed belief in precedent, notably when it came to Roe. She said, “When I asked him, would it be sufficient to overturn a long-established precedent if five current justices believed that it was wrongly decided, he emphatically said ‘No.’ ” By joining the majority in Hyatt, the now safely confirmed Kavanaugh has shown that he really meant “Yes.”
