Abortion and the Politics of Reproductive Rights in the Post-Roe Era

[Motown Bombers]

I decided to schedule an appointment with my doctor to discuss getting a vasectomy done. I'm so disillusioned with the direction Republicans are taking this country that I do not want to have children grow up in this country.

Could a "pro-lifer" please explain why there are no penalties for the fertilizer (and I mean the term both ways).

What's good for the goose should be good for the gander...

I read that story today and almost became physically ill.

This can't possibly be happening...but it is.  What an absolute shit hole.

That's another thing that a lot of people do not understand.  When a woman has a later term abortion, it is usually a child that the woman wanted to have and having to abort it is devastating.

For sure. Friends of mine went through that a couple years ago, right around six months. Just horrible for them.

To the evil people they think it’s a bunch of loose women who want consequence free sex and dammit that’s only allowed for youth pastors and Republican members of congress.

Well, whaddya know? Turns out you have to be smart and actually plan things out to effectively implement fascism. You have to actually think things through. Who knew.

[CMRivdogs]

Basically the same argument the anti maskers used. Rules for thee, but not for me.

[pfife]

2 contradictory federal judgments.

What’s her angle on that?  I’m not getting it. Is it to preserve the white race since that’s presumably what she means?

She's smarter than your average MAGA and knows abortion bans are a losing proposition. 

[oblong]

Ah ok. I haven’t followed her topics in years. I only know she’s dating or was dating Jimmy Walker.

Don't go overboard.  She happens to agree with you on abortion.  She's still a little crazy.

If Trumpublicans were series they’d ban Viagra as well.

I think most women right now are trying to  control their rage.  You may not see it, but they’re angry and fearful for themselves, their daughters, their granddaughters, their nieces, their sisters, their friends.  
If things continue on this downward trend, you WILL start to see/hear about people YOU know bearing the unbearable.  There will be deaths. There will be life-changing despair. 
 

These are YOUR wives, sisters, daughters, nieces, granddaughters, friends.

This matters. 
And I am angry. Very.

I saw this and thought it was a joke.  I looked it up:

Republican legislators in South Carolina have proposed a bill to change the state’s laws, making a fertilised egg or embryo a person and charging a woman who has an abortion with murder, which carries a 30 year prison sentence or the death penalty.1 Henry McMaster, the state’s Republican governor, has said that he would sign anti-abortion regulations.

Lordy...they bring bat**** crazy to new levels.

7-2 for a full stay to keep the drug legal. 

Guess who the two were? 

 

Samuel "Handmaid's Tale" Alito

and

Clarence "Pubic Hair on my Coke" Thomas,   who should no longer be a Justice anyway. 

 

When I heard 7-2  instantly knew who the 2 were.

the only thing you can hope for until one or both of them die is that they continue to get so wacko that even the other 4 conservatives start to feel good about disagreeing with them.

Clarence is like Westley from Princess Bride, he's mostly dead already.    Lost his soul a long time ago.   He's been a walking corpse ever since.  That's why he's not sweating the latest scandal, he'll croak before anything happens.

Alito's dissent should be titled "Ode to a put upon White Man, who must endure the slings and arrows of libtards and feminists."

Women will die.  They will.

No question about it.
