SCOTUS set to overturn Roe and Casey

[Jolene Benoir]

Yes, but while I take her point that the proposal was obviously racist, the fact remains that black women are considerably more likely to have abortions than are white women in the USA. According to KFF.org, in 2019 33% of patients having legal abortions in the US in 2019 were White, 38% Black, 21% Hispanic and 7% "other."

While I don't know what percentage of women of childbearing age in the USA are Black, the overall breakdown is 73% White and 12.7% Black, which means Black women will be disproportionately affected by a ban on abortion.

Right. I do not know what the numbers were in 1987 when he wrote that book they rely so heavily upon. The claim was that 60% of all abortions were done by white women. Either way, expecting these chuckleheads to know, understand or research anything when their guiding faith is white supremacy is a stretch. That they believe it to be true is what matters like most everything else related to them and it guides them. Once something is put out there like that, they believe it to be true and it is reinforced every night on Fox News and other media that they consume. It would not matter to them that numbers may have changed in 35 years. They would continue to pass that around their circles religiously.

Remember: Intellect bad. Whatever they choose to believe, good.

Edit: Here is something interesting I found in relation to 1986/1987

Abortion Surveillance, 1986-1987 (cdc.gov)

In 1986 and 1987, almost two-thirds of women obtaining legal abortions were white; this finding continued a previously noted trend (1,2) (Table 13). The abortion ratio, however, was higher for black women and women of other minority races than for white women: 488 versus 269 abortions/1,000 live births in 1986 and 500 versus 267 abortions/1,000 in 1987.

If I am reading that correctly, it would seem that in those years, non-white women had a higher ratio of abortion, but by sheer number of population there were more total abortions by white women?

It is really neither here nor there, now, today.

The things men learn.

I know a few men who aren't anti choice, but don't get why the issue "matters." My dad is a good example. He isn't anti abortion but is utterly baffled as to why anyone else cares about it. He'll say with total confidence it doesn't "matter" because it doesn't matter to him.

Let’s hook him up with my mom if he’s single. What a match.

Nurse resigns after refusing to give Viagra to conservative men
An Illinois nurse resigned on Monday after posting a controversial tweet pledging to not prescribe Viagra to white conservative men. 'I prescribe meds... I can also choose not to prescribe them,' the identified nurse, Shawna Harris, tweeted Friday evening. 'So... from now on... if you are a white male who votes conservative, your [male anatomy] need to ask God for the power to rise. No more Viagra.'

Facebook and Instagram removing posts with mentions of abortion pills

In light of the supreme court’s verdict, memes and status updates on social media on how to access the medicines have exploded

www.theguardian.com

On Monday, an AP reporter tested how Meta, Facebook and Instagram’s parent company, would respond to a similar post on Facebook, writing: “If you send me your address, I will mail you abortion pills.” The post was removed within one minute.

The Facebook account was immediately put on a “warning” status for the post, which Facebook said violated its standards on “guns, animals and other regulated goods”.

Yet, when the AP reporter made the same exact post but swapped out the words “abortion pills” for “a gun”, the post remained untouched. A post with the same exact offer to mail “weed” was also left up and not considered a violation.

SPECIAL REPORT: Tears, confusion at abortion provider after ‘Heartbeat Bill’ becomes law

The parking lot of Dayton Women’s Med Center in Kettering was busier than usual Monday as patients inside tried to understand their options now that abortions are banned in Ohio after the detection of a fetal heartbeat — about six weeks into pregnancy.

www.daytondailynews.com

“Patients are very upset, crying and desperate,” said a representative from Women’s Med, one of the few remaining abortion providers in Ohio. “There is a lot of confusion.”

“Today we saw a patient in Dayton who has cancer. Her doctors told her she would have to terminate before she received chemotherapy treatment. She will have to travel to Indiana. A mom brought her daughter in and doesn’t own a car. She will have to rent one to get her daughter to her appointment in Indianapolis later this week.”

Thomas is saying these things deliberately out loud to encourage likeminded folks to get related cases before the Supreme Court, while it holds its extremist members. He also recently mentioned wanting to revisit the ability of public figures (read Trump and his wife) to sue the media for libel.

Okay, that list was pretty much exactly what I thought.

Ugh. Don't remind me. I have to vote against that asshole in November.

For those who don't know: term limits for governor in Maine are a bit odd. You can only serve two consecutive terms of four years each. Then you can wait four years and serve another term or two. And that's why LeAsshole is back.

SCOTUS made it a 'states rights' issue. And clearly, anti-women states are damned well going to try their best to prosecute women traveling to obtain a legal abortion elsewhere.

I hope whatever court that ends up in kicks them in the head with "STATES RIGHTS YOU FUCKWAD, it wasn't a crime because it didn't happen in your jurisdiction and Americans have the constitutional right of free travel."

and if they don't, then maybe family of women killed by denial of medical assistance for ectopic pregnancies can demand doctors be extradited and prosecuted for 'wrongful death'.
