Trump - and the spine of Mitch McConnell for getting this to happen. God Bless them and those 5 Supreme Court Justices that understand the Constitution and have a clear moral compass. 1

Tiberius Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 This is nothing more than an attack on poor women. Trump's people care about a fetus? Ya right. They don't care a fig for the constitution but want to save the unborn? No, this is just a way of hurting people

No, this is just a way of hurting people There are proven ways to reduce the numbers of abortions, but "pro-life" advocates generally oppose them in favor of banning abortion. Truly pro-life would be advocating for pro-natalist policies (which would likely find decent bipartisan support). Banning abortion will not end abortions, it'll just make them less safe. Hard to argue that cruelty isn't the point. 2

I wonder if they will make adoptions easier and cheaper, that would be great. Maybe the US can reproduce at a fast enough rate to replace the population going forward.

He needs to urge calm IMO The fringe who would do such things I really pray is small. But this is as hot a tribal issue and development as there is and you I trust know that mate. m

Tiberius Posted June 24, 2022 Posted June 24, 2022 One wonders how far this court will go. What can stop them from just overturning every single law Republicans don't like. If Dems try and pack the court, the court could rule it unconstitutional. This could be another form of coup. Ginni Thomas would be on board

Well for one, because one would hope that women would have access to proper healthcare regardless of which state they were in. And for another, states like mine are now going to have to provide services to people from other states, in effect subsidizing them. Decisions in some states can have impacts on people in other states.

The people put Trump in office as part of an effort to "blow things up" are going to find out that things aren't so good when they are blown up. Who will this hit the hardest? The lowest on the socio-economic ladder, just like everything in America. This country is nothing but an exercise in social Darwinism.
