The Right religious conservatives and who knows who else have today overturned the constitutional right to abortion in the US.
Will this now embolden anti abortionists in this country to fight back?
The US is a cold place for women now.
The same logic applies to the ruling on interracial marriage which he hypocriticaly isn't mentioning.
theres something off about having to put peoples rights to a popular vote.
rights should never be contingent on the approval of the "majority"
GOP controlled states are rubbing their hands with glee now they can finally restrict abortion.
Of course this wont affect people of means as they will just travel to wherever they need but it will impact the poorer parts of the various states.
all this from the party of "small government".
what a joke.
Don’t do twitter or Facebook lot anything like that
I used to live in America and have family in Boston New York and Chicago and the issues facing america today have been brewing a long time but since the 90s things have escalated
it’s not just about equality for many minorities, it’s about revenge and the centre ground is disappearing because of this
the same future faces Europe and Ireland as we go down the same route
'natural law' is just an intellectual fig leaf for old-school Catholic fanaticism
this from a man with an alleged former penchant for the works of Long Dong Silver...
So anyone can rock up to a healthcare facility and demand a procedure or a medication - no questions asked? FFS, I've heard it all. I've acknowledged that a woman giving reasons for an abortion can be a sensitive subject, so there should be a process to allow for anonymity on the data to be collected.
But you say it's no one's business - so fcuk learning anything from those women procuring abortion and in turn trying to help others to avoid the situations that drive demand for abortion.
You really don't give a hoot about women - abortion on demand and without limits for them, as long as it pisses off the conservatives, the right and the religious cohort. The more abortions the better. The women involved and the human life they destroy are merely canon fodder for scoring points in the great culture war. What a sad and empty train of thought.
He's the only one saying that for now and it's down to his obsession with natural law. One would assume someone needs to bring a challenge first.
The Clarence Thomas concurrence explicitly said that they will be reviewing rulings that protected the right to contraception, overturned bans on sodomy and introduced same sex marriage.
The logic used to overturn Roe v Wade applies to those other rulings.
Is it really this dramatic or are you just spending too much time on Twitter? TBH it all sounds like a very bad dystopian film plot. Even if it were remotely likely states would soon pull up when they realise just how big the federal part is and that's before all the fun of managing their own financial systems and a new currency.
Yeah, that's not the question I asked.
You know full well what many states are going to do because of this decision to just completely rip up 50 years of legal precedent. Nobody 'forced' anything on anyone. It simply allowed women the right to safe medical care, which will now be taken back from them. Do you believe that it is a good thing that states will now be taking this right to safe medical care away from women?
Or do you even care? Just tell the truth instead of trying to word vomit your way around it. It's a very simple question.
What’s going on in America is sedition from the Democratic Party, the White House and democratic members of congress are encouraging violence and the overthrow of the Supreme Court
Very sad to see what America is becoming, where will it end?
I believe America as a nation will split, states will secede, and than war.
blue states union become no go zones with huge levels of crime and poverty.
Ideological debate nowadays is all about competing echo chambers so you need to be part of one, no matter what it says. Anyone in the centre just gets drowned out.
My original post was about how this decision is good also because it was taken in the face of threats of violence. I'm not deflecting.
As for the right for abortion, we live in Europe where every country has its abortion legislation, in most cases thanks to a referendum. America instead had a Supreme Court rule that was imposed upon the people. That situation has now been rectified. What America will do next is up to them, every state will have to make its own law. This is how democracy works
Maybe you should stop deflecting because nothing of the sort has even come close to happening.
How do you feel about a woman's right to medical care being taken away? You happy with that as long as you can stick it to the left?
Nobody wants to see the mainly peaceful protests of 2020 ever again.
It's time for the Left to change the approach and distance themselves from rioters and the mob
Yes I'm sure it would have just stopped there. We all know how the " mostly peaceful " protests tend to go.
Maybe have a look at the clips from the "just knocking in the windows" and save the father ted.
I'd ignore anything that poster says. He made it very clear that women don't have the right to medical care.
Ah knocking on windows, the tool of violent insuurectionaries the world over. I can just imagine them having this conversation before depolying the nuclear option
Why would you go along with something that you knew to be incorrect? Pointing out your mistake is not having "a pop" at you.
Reading through that thread shows how it was mostly fake outrage by the left over Jan 6th. There's just been an attempted insurrection on a capital building on Arizona, as well as multiple other cases of violence including cops been stomped - they don't care.
I thought this was about abortion?
You do realise you're supporting the side of the argument that wants to ban oral sex and condoms
Attempted insurrection. Would have completely spiralled out of control had the police not acted
Main violence I have seen is a Rhode island republican attack his opponent at a rally, he has since withdrawn from the race. Makes a change from violence being preferred from elected representatives in places like Minnesota.
Someone also attempted to drive through protestors with a truck
Right now from the left we have 1 racist who nobody has heard of needing to be banned from twitter and some over the top statements on social media. It isn't like the twitter user found was speaking about white life at a major Democrats rally.
The Supreme Court did not give in
What are you suggesting might have happened instead? Just because some randomers on the Internet were threatening a 'night of rage' the judges would come out and say oops we made a mistake, Roe v Wade stays after all...
The threat of violence was there and probably still is, so was the potential murderer. Y
The Supreme Court did not give in, this is how to set the example
The racist abuse of thomas should get the perpetrators kicked off twitter permanently. I did lose some respect for the guy mentioning in his SC opinions related to gay rights and contraceptives but not mentioning in the same sentence the decision related to inter-marriage between blacks and whites as that would affect him personally. I think its dangerous when courts become partisan but i think that happens in every court in America.
No it's absolutely not. But your basis on a 'mob' is one person who was rightfully arrested. And you're also saying activists are calling for riots and yet none have happened.
F*ck women though, as long as the libs are owned. Don't pretend otherwise because your history doesn't stand up to scrutiny.
No idea what you are after here. A psychopath caught trying to murder a judge is not something you can swipe under the rug. The call for riots from activists and politician cannot be ignored considering how things went in 2020.
it's great that the Supreme Court didn't give in. Hopefully a sign of things to come
And yet here we are, no streets have been burned. Also, one activist does not a protest make.
Living in a complete fantasy land as per usual and this is more about sticking it to the libs than about women getting medical care they're entitled to. F*ck them, as long as the libs are angry.
The United States is a huge country, North America as a whole even bigger if you're taking that as your field of inquiry. Of course you're going to find random individuals who support progressive causes generally but have backward racial attitudes if you go desperately seeking them out. If the guy calling Clarence Thomas the n-word was a prominent Democrat or a NARAL leader it might have some significance...
