Texas Heartbeat Abortion Law

[Free]

The Supreme Court's legitimacy was undermined the moment Trump took office. I no longer trust the SC to make informed and impartial rulings.

The Repugs have made a mockery of our nation, our government, our people and they revel in it. And that is why I despise them so much. They do nothing but take and never give to those in need because if they did, they couldn't be the rich assholes they are. Charitable donations? PFFT! Very little of it actually gets to the people who need it. Not enough to make a real difference. Just enough to keep them downtrodden and "in their place".

It's enough to make me stand in the middle of the GOP and scream, "GET OFF MY PLANET!" until they all drop dead.

I don't get it. She is paying child support and she is paying above and beyond what is required and yet she is a deadbeat mom? I thought that term deadbeat only applied to those who don't or refused to pay child support, not to people who actually do.

GTFOMP

I read that and I thought, here's a guy seeing what every woman who wants an abortion and can't have one is forced to deal with, and he hates it. Good.
If a few sons of judges and such found themselves in his situation, maybe it would sink in that this (worse,actually) is what they're ruling that women do.
But probably not

He realized up to that point his story was making her sound sympathetic. He had to call her something without sounding like he was attacking her.

He's likely abusive and a control freak. It's rather lucky she realized right away that she did not want to have *his* kid.

Ah. Attempted manipulation of the masses on his part.

This past Friday, the Supreme Court upheld Texas' near-absolute abortion ban and gave their blessing to the novel enforcement mechanism, a Stasi-reminiscent system that depends on private citizens surveilling their neighbors and claiming bounties on anyone caught "aiding and abetting" an abortion. Despite some misleading headlines caused by a confusing decision, the bottom line is, in Texas, bounty hunters can still stalk people seeking abortion and legally harass and bankrupt anyone who helps them.


The decision was surprising because the court is also widely expected to overturn Roe v. Wade outright in June. Soon over two dozen states — including Texas — are expected to have laws that allow police officers to simply arrest people for abortion. Friday's decision not only creates a mess of legal headaches in managing the bounty hunters, it opens the door for blue states to use similar systems as a back door ban on guns, something California is already moving to do.

So why did the Supreme Court not just leave it to the cops, which is how abortion bans were enforced in the pre-Roe era? The answer may lie in the one enormous technological advance that happened in the near five decades of legal abortion: The abortion pill.

This is too too perfectly ironic to be true. I'm assuming someone has written a very clever parable for men, showing them what women struggle with all the time.

She wanted an abortion, but he basically wouldn't hear of it. That pretty much says it all right there.
