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.
You're misrepresenting there though. Countries in Europe who don't provide abortions are frequently criticised by both international bodies and the public. Ireland. The UN basically called us on an almost annual basis.
There's also the ECHR which obviously doesn't apply in the US
We wouldn't accept each state being allowed to set its own laws on slavery, even in the mid-19th century this was so unacceptable it resulted in civil war.
Why on earth should American women, gay people etc etc have to accept that they only get rights if a majority of legislators in their state agree?
But the education they want is based on a glorified fairytale, which then warps facts.
Education should not be influenced by a makey-uppy text.
Not to be missed, but this SCOTUS crapped on Native American rights around prosecution for crimes. Interestingly, Gorsuch dissented, but he might've been the only SCOTUS judge with experience in this field. The Native Americans have fiercely fought to protect their own rights, but hey, it's the SCOTUS and they do whatever they want.
Agreed, can you imagine telling children that conception is possible without fertilization?
Or telling them that men can be women and men can get pregnant?
Oh wait... 😂
^ in South Carolina, the age of consent is 15. Jeff is upset that children who were raped won't be carrying the children of their rapists. Period.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — Emails and phone calls from same-sex couples, worried about the legal status of their marriages and keeping their children, flooded attorney Sydney Duncan’s office within hours of the Supreme Court’s decision eliminating the constitutional right to abortion.
The ruling last week didn’t directly affect the 2015 decision that paved the way for same-sex marriage. But, Duncan said, it was still a warning shot for families headed by same-sex parents who fear their rights could evaporate like those of people seeking to end a pregnancy.
“That has a lot of people scared and, I think, rightfully so,” said Duncan, who specializes in representing members of the LGBTQ community at the Magic City Legal Center in Birmingham.
Ryanne Seyba’s law firm in Hollywood, Florida, is offering free second-parent adoptions, which are similar to step-parent adoptions, for qualified same-sex couples to help ease some of the stress caused by the possible ripple effects of the abortion decision.
“We realized last week when (the ruling) came out we needed to do something,” said Seyba of The Upgrade Lawyers.
A judge in Broward County plans to have a special day in August to finalize all the adoptions at once, Seyba said. If nothing else, completing the process should give nervous families more security, she said.
“If gay marriage goes away, we don’t really know what’s going to happen,” she said. “It’s better to be on the safe side.’′
10 year old rape victim in Ohio is being forced to give birth. South Carolina Talkin about sniffer dogs in airports to identify pregnant women, checkpoints between states with pregnancy tests, women with already dead babies inside them forced to continue the pregnancy. Is this what the right want? Stop pretending to be for freedom of so, handmaid's tale stuff happening.
South Carolina Talkin about sniffer dogs in airports to identify pregnant women
I don't see a source for that
And I don't think that idea would get off the ground.
Hysteria is simple though when the ramifications of what is happening are vast.
Gorsuch dissented, but apparently because he believes Oklahoma hasn't checked all the administrative boxes in order for it to do what it wants to do. It appears that had this case come from Kansas (which has checked all the boxes), he would have sided with the majority.
The dispute doesn't particularly affect tribal rights, as tribal law does not apply against non-Indians regardless of who ends up doing the prosecuting, and never has. This was a fight between the State and the Federal Government over who could prosecute. The State said "both", the Feds said "Only the Feds". Tribes don't have a foot in this door. People saying "It narrows McGirt" apparently haven't read McGirt. That answered the question "where is the geographic dividing line on where Indians can be prosecuted". It had nothing to do with "who may prosecute non-Indians," which is the current case, and which was unsettled law. From five months ago:
"The Supreme Court has never decided whether the General Crimes Act also precludes state prosecutions of crimes committed by non-Indians against Indians in Indian country."
There are actually charts which cross-reference "Indian/Non-Indian" perpetrator to victim to type of crime as it's a bit complicated (Probably why it got to SCOTUS). The State has always had jursidiction over Indian country regardless of how big it is, there has never been any question of whether a State can prosecute a non-Indian for a crime against a non-Indian on tribal grounds, nor that tribal courts cannot. Even if Gorsuch's dissent is correct, and Oklahoma needs to conduct a PL280 request for authority from the Federal Government, it's the US government which makes that decision, not the tribes.
The good news is I believe that 10 year old managed to flee the state to have the procedure. Obviously horrific from Ohio.
Anyone who thinks this is acceptable is evil, plain and simple.
So different laws apply to people depending on their ethnic origin? That's pretty fúcked up.
Different jurisdictions, technically. USA doesn't have a good history with native Americans, to put it mildly.
There is no right to abortion
Only a small number of countries including China and North Korea allow abortion on demand after 20 weeks. Thankfully the unites states is no longer part of that group.
63 million abortions cannot be just brushed aside as "choice"
Do you enjoy seeing women suffering and almost dying because the likes of you see them as nothing more than incubators? Vile.
You'd forget how many absolute cretins come out of the woodwork when this topic comes up. Gang of them in Dublin yesterday at their sad little rally where the NP fascists were handing out their 'literature".
Almost 60 pro life centres in the US vandalised with some fire bombed.
A california man charged with attempted murder after being arrested close to SCOTUS Brett Kavanaugh home carrying a glock pistol and ammunition.
These anti life types need to take a hard look in the mirror.
Do you enjoy millions of unborn children thrown in the incinerator every year.
Didn't the nazis do similar?
Because if anything, the pro-life crowd cannot take life

Thoughts and Prayers for the brick and mortar though
The lad turned himself in before he came anywhere near attempting to kill Kavanaugh

"It's OK when we do it"
Clumps of cells aren't children. Try again.
Do you enjoy seeing women suffering and dying because the likes of you see them as nothing more than incubators?
They'd give you the creeps. Bunch of freaks.
When will you have your "Are we the baddies?" moment of realisation.
Abortion has one purpose every single time - to end life.
Not only are you disgustingly wrong, but you’re showing yourself up as a complete control freak.
Mind your own f*cking business.
How many abortion clinics have been attacked over the years? Answer: So many that anti-abortion extremists are regarded as domestic terrorists by the US government. But as you say yourself on repeat, "it's okay when we do it "
Nobody is in favour of forcing anyone to have abortions they don't want to have
They don't deserve respect for forcing others to live according to their personal religious beliefs
Well that's a lie.
Don't be fooled, this supreme court will (sooner rather than later) set a precedent that allows abortion to be federally banned in all 50 states.
The 'states rights' thing is a wolf in sheep's clothing
if the mid terms hand congress and the senate back to the GOP this will be the first item on the agenda
