Decoy73 Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 28 minutes ago, funhusker said: I just had a thought about todays ruling. Could this actually backfire on Republicans? Like really badly? The issue of abortion is actually going to matter now; it’s no longer an empty “pro choice” vs “pro life”. Politicians will have to develop actual policy that voters like. If most Americans support abortions before 12 weeks, and in cases of incest, rape, and health of the mother, the GOP can’t actually talk the big game any more. They will actually have to scale back on the anti-choice rhetoric. My gut says, so I’m probably wrong, that this actually opens the door for Dems to campaign on “sensible” abortion laws and expanding social programs for new and expectant families. Dems might actually be positioned better moving forward because they are no longer having to defend Roe vs Wade. Am I crazy? No you’re not. The Dem’s error ( in an electoral way) by no longer appealing to the moderates. For better or for worse, but sometimes to their own peril, they give a voice for the LGBT for example, which most Americans, IMO struggle to identify with. So they definitely could take a more moderate approach here and risk alienating the far left—but I’m not holding my breath. Link to comment

From the bishop’s stance it’s seems see the above. I don’t know. Maybe you can provide insight to how the Church feels about that. I’ve never been taught. It is a different analysis. The Catholic Church permits the death penalty when it is necessary. A common example is where there are no reasonably stable prisons to protect the people from the criminal. So Catholic death penalty supporters say they are making a policy choice. That jurisprudence does not really apply to abortion. 32 minutes ago, funhusker said: I just had a thought about todays ruling. Could this actually backfire on Republicans? Like really badly?

Notre Dame Joe Posted June 24, 2022 Share Posted June 24, 2022 Oh @funhusker I forgot to add that I am here because my Facebook friends are utterly uninterested in today''s decision. There is only some tweet embeds from the usual suspects of people who politard all day long. Part of this is because 'the leaker' inoculated America to the news. I imagine it would be quite different if this dropped out of blue. So while it will head the ticket at D fundraisers, I don't think anyone will change his vote because of this. 2 Link to comment

Question I am posing on other fora, would you support a state law that required a woman to demonstrate good cause before it might issue her an abortion permit? 1 Link to comment
