Right, Alito and company know what this will lead to. All the legal wrangling in the world won't change that. As MB said, Roe was the first step. When Republicans get control of the House, Senate, and Presidency again someday, possibly as soon as 2024, I have no doubt they will bring about legislation that will enact a nationwide ban. Mr. State's Rights Samuel Alito will suddenly and likely have forgotten by that time that he cares so much about state's rights. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wade Is Overturned, Mayor Lightfoot Says Get ready for police checkpoints at the state border—not the Illinois police to control who comes into the state, but the Indiana/Iowa/Wisconsin police who will control who leaves the state. "Hey, lady, what business do you have going to the 'abortion haven'? Oh, nothing in particular? Just visiting friends, you say? Turn around and go home, lady. You're not leaving this state on my watch." That'll have to do until they build The Wall. 😏 During Covid my son and I were turned away from purchasing tickets to a Pistons game because my credit cards zip code was in Indiana. They told me only people from NW Ohio (Toledo zip code) and Western Ontario could purchase tickets. This is 1,000% a true story. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMRivdogs Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 20 minutes ago, buddha said: i think that's an overreaction. So is taking abortion laws back to 1976. Not to mention the desire to turn back the clock on gay rights. While the so called Christian Taliban can't take women back that far, the never did approve the ERA either. So if you follow Alito's thinking, women's rights are not actually mentioned in the constitution as far as their work rights are concerned. And in many cases they still get second class treatment to men in corporate America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oblong Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 to be fair, despite my hyperbole, most people who consider themselves Pro Life don't think about this like we do here. I understand that. But someone has to. Too many people are legislating to try to control what they think is immoral behavior. Its more than that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. Maybe it's all Kabuki theater, but it may still be accurate regardless that what fell out of their mouths of Collins / Murkowski didn't match what they ultimately did.

Yeah, it's seems pretty obvious whether it's through court action or through federal action, the desire for "states rights" on abortion will end the moment that this ruling comes down.

Where are our priorities? I was making the point that when these politicians say they care about women they are hypocrites. It was an example of something they are doing to hurt women.

It would be nice to think that a decrease in access to abortion and birth control could be coupled with more resources for families in order accommodate those births, but frankly, this country does a pretty terrible job of doing that with families as it is. I know that point grates like sandpaper for a lot of folks, but it doesn't make it any less true. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
