    By letting this be the head line of the hiring it only does one thing it serves to get more votes from the others that are of the same mind set that is the only reason why this has any traction .

     

    Nobody voted for her. Nobody will vote for her.

     

    It has traction because she is the first gay and black woman to hold such a position.

     

    If that triggers you, so be it. 

    BREAKING: SCOTUS to overturn Roe?

    Alito’s ruling is what most people want on abortion

    by Timothy P. Carney

     

    The Supreme Court may finally overturn Roe v. Wade and uphold Mississippi’s abortion law, banning almost all abortions after 15 weeks of pregnancy.

     

    The news media and the Democrats want you to think this is an extreme position. It’s not. On both questions, Mississippi’s abortion law and the substance of Roe v. Wade, the draft opinion by Justice Samuel Alito represents the majority view of U.S. residents.

     

    Begin with the law in question here: Mississippi’s 15-week abortion ban. A very recent YouGov poll on abortion found that 21% would ban all abortions, an additional 20% would ban abortions after a heartbeat is detected (six weeks), another 13% would ban them after the first trimester (13 weeks), and an additional 10% would ban abortion after 15 weeks — which is what Mississippi does.

     

    Add it together, and it means that 64% of people in the United States believe Mississippi’s law is either the right call or too liberal on abortion. To uphold this law is to side with the opinion of nearly two-thirds of America on abortion policy.

     

    But Alito’s opinion wouldn’t end there. He would strike down Roe and thus return abortion to the states and to the democratic realm of lawmaking. Not everything should be subject to democracy, of course, which is why we have a Bill of Rights. But is it extreme to say, as Alito does, that abortion law shouldn’t be determined by the Supreme Court?

    This is hilarious.   As always most will stick their heads in the ground as if the right had some sort of moral superiority.   Cawthorn is what the republican party is becoming and it's sad.  Does the left have even one character like him Boebert or Mtg?  Nope.  There are a few whackos of course but nothing to this level.

     

    Good point.

     

    Dimwits will scream THE SQUAD and point to debunked conspiracy theories about Omar.

     

    They desperately want to bring others down to their level. Pretty sad as their level now includes ***** one's male cousin.

    So which of the following are you alluding to?

    Not that many abortions happen per year

    Or

    Back alley abortions will rise up again

    Or 

    Doctors will do it despite the laws

    Or

    States where they make access mostly impossible, without fully crossing the line, already have fewer abortions so this is a liberal states issue only

     

     

     

    Middle two

     

    Pretty good article I read earlier. https://www.nbcnews.com/health/health-care/abortion-rates-go-down-when-countries-make-it-legal-report-n858476

    Is Roe v Wade Finally At Deaths Door?

    Come on Niagara....all that this leaked decision does is leave the legality of abortion back into the hands of the individual State legislature.  That's it.

     

    Over 20 states have clauses that will outlaw abortions the moment Roe is overturned.

     

    From that moment until individual State legislature's vote to legalize abortion (if it even gets to a ballot), back-room abortions will be the norm.
