SCOTUS set to overturn Roe and Casey

[WolfEyes]

As will the death rate of women with ectopic pregnancies as well as those who resort to "back alley" abortions.

And I can't imagine the quality of life for unwanted children born from forced pregnancies will be all that great either.

Probably much like my daughter being raised in a dysfunctional adopted family. She is so messed up in the head now I no longer have contact with her.

I understand why some may counter arguments that are based on religious texts with other interpretations but for me....

There was a few trucks and some other vehicles which drove around DC for a few weeks yelling about "FREEDOM!" at residents, who mostly boo'd them. They haven't shut up about it. They just make sure they're only talking about THEIR freedom to treat anyone they see as "less than" (AKA women, queer, gay, black, brown, asian, desperately poor, children) however they want.

Overlooking that in the History of this country, a Constitutional Right has never been taken away. Until now. Or, about to be, I should say.

Sorry about that. I’m afraid the FreeDumb convoy was born in my home province, started to drive to Ottawa at which point Trump tweeted about what patriots they were and it spread.
They eventually came home but still drive around my city every Saturday.

If it happens, and I believe it will, the suicide rate in the US will skyrocket.

And the SCOTUS deserves to have each and every one staining the steps up to the building they've defiled with this heinous ruling.

Right now California is the state with the strongest reproductive-health access rights in the country, and there is a highly robust charity in the state called Access RJ which helps women both inside and outside California to access health care there, including helping with and arranging transportation and lodging. If you were looking for an org to support out of this mess I recommend that one, if there isn't a more local one you can support. I only caution you to avoid supporting start-ups at this point because there are established and strong organizations already existing, and with Roe overturned the environment is ripe for scams.

But getting women access to abortion is just one part of the problem. A lot of the more recent state bans that have already been passed, swing the pendulum the other way by not only outlawing abortion itself, but criminalize even helping a woman, in very broad terms, to get an abortion. That means driving them to an out-of-state clinic or providing them with medicine, but it COULD also mean things like....donating to a reproductive-rights organization if you live in one of these states, or like, giving the Access RJ website URL to a woman in such a state who is considering an abortion, depending on how badly the local or state prosecutor wants to pander for votes. And these things are also high-class felonies too, which means that other states cannot refuse to honor extradition orders, for instance. Things are going to get horrible.

I am in a state which, according to the maps, is going to be surrounded by states which will trigger an automatic abortion ban these are two groups that I am aware of which can help.

The leaked draft opinion that signals the Supreme Court would overturn Roe v. Wade has sparked fear not only among abortion activists, but also environmental lawyers who say the federal government should have expansive legal authority to tackle the climate crisis.

The draft opinion, published by Politico on Monday, indicates that at least five conservative justices are willing to cast aside long-standing precedent to achieve major objectives on the political right, these environmental lawyers said.

That does not bode well, they said, for the Supreme Court's forthcoming decision in West Virginia v. EPA, a challenge to the Environmental Protection Agency's authority to regulate carbon emissions from the power sector, the country's second-largest source of planet-warming pollution.

“The court's dismissive attitude toward precedent … is really just another signal of a conservative majority that's eager to roll up its sleeves and fix all the issues in the law that conservatives have complained about for years,” Dan Farber, a professor of law at the University of California at Berkeley, told The Climate 202.

“And climate regulation is seen by conservatives as a dramatic example of regulatory overreach because Congress hasn't passed any specific laws that tell EPA to go regulate [carbon emissions],” he added.

Nathan Richardson, a professor at the University of South Carolina School of Law and a university fellow at Resources for the Future, agreed with that assessment.

Yet at the same time they say regulations banning large portions of women's health care on a state level isn't regulatory overreach.

They're worse than hypocrites.

If anything, I am under educated because of assholes like you. I'm not a millennial, they claim I am a boomer. I can't afford to travel the distances required to get to any of the protests. I rarely eat anything microwaved because it's not healthy. And assuming "bumble match" means having sex, well, my husband of 22 plus years loves our cat as much as I do and spends more time with him than I do. He is supposed to be my cat! My husband brought him home because we had just lost our feral and it devastated me. Thankfully it wasn't one of our grandchildren, my step kids or my daughter who was a product of incestual rape.

Little boys should be seen and not heard Matt. Now shut up and sit down before I turn you over my knee. IN PUBLIC. You knuckle dragging pea brained troglodyte. You have no respect or empathy for your fellow humans. You certainly don't have any respect for yourself.

Exactly, I'm a married gen xer - who actualy knows how to cook - also, iirc, he's a millennial, so shouldn't be using -that- as an insult anyway.

Also, I'd rather have cats then him as my congresscritter any day
