U.S Supreme Court overturns ruling that granted nationwide abortion rights in the US
Basically, they said there was no right to abortion in the US constitution. The matter will now be a states issue. So it's not like a nationwide ban. Still a very bad ruling.Because of course. What a sucky ruling. Wtf. What was the justification?
U.S Supreme Court overturns ruling that granted nationwide abortion rights in the US
The Supreme Court needs no justification. It's all ideological, theocratic bullshit . The amount of suffering in the US will reach a whole new level. Pro-life=Pro-Suffering.Because of course. What a sucky ruling. Wtf. What was the justification?
I feel like the people behind this are rubbing their hands "Yes... gooooood... more suffering... I'm afraid your abortion laws will be quite inoperable when your friends arrive."
This is just more suffering that could be easily avoided just by giving people choice and control over their own lives and bodies.
it's stupid how they ban abortion then want to go after contraceptives next.
I'm worried too. I'm scarred that they might start to go after more and more minorities. Just how far will they go?This sets a terrible precedent for the future. Everything we have considered for granted in the last few years, every step of progress we have made is up to debate again. This could involve discussions about womens rights, racial justice and minority protection. This is a very concerning development.
I hope they next generations will be okay. I can see your point though, the USA becoming more extereme in the future. I hope it's not the case but it seems to be heading there.The discussion about the subject matter has been held within this community before, but I would like to add another point.
The more babies who are aborted, the less chance the left-wing progressives have in influencing the minds of the upcoming generations. In other words, they are outbreeding themselves and their values.
This is not meant as critique against abortion or the left-wing progressives, but merely to make a point that I believe that the USA will turn even more right-wing in the future.
To the issue at hand, though - would it be possible for someone to suggest a new law, which would make abortion legal, to congress and have them pass it?
Yes. Thomas wrote an opinion mentioning that Griswold, Lawrence, and Obergefell should also be reconsidered... That's birth control, same-sex relations, and marriage equality.What I'm more concerned about in the short term is the fact that the Roe decision was an early case that recognized a right to privacy under the U.S. Constitution. I think the case about birth control was the actual first one.
It hasn't yet been addressed at the federal level. I guess that's probably next and is probably the way that they WILL keep getting into office: the promise to make it illegal at the federal level.Will the folks who only care about that one thing still show up in their famed droves if abortion is off the table at the federal level? I actually don't think they will. This will hit congressional and "downticket" Republicans the hardest.
